A Small-Scale Density of States Formula (original) (raw)

2003, Communications in Mathematical Physics

Let (M,g) be a C ∞ compact Riemann manifold with classical Hamiltonian, HC ∞ (T * M). Assume that the corresponding -quantization P 1 :=Op  (H) is quantum completely integrable. We establish an -microlocal Weyl law on short spectral intervals of size 2−ε;∀ε>0 for various families of operators P 1 u ;uI containing P 1 , both in the mean and pointwise a.e. for uI. The -microlocalization refers to a small tubular neighbourhood of a non-degenerate, stable periodic bicharacteristic γ⊂T * M−0.

Holder Continuity of the Integrated Density of States for Quasi-Periodic Schrodinger Equations and Averages of Shifts of Subharmonic Functions

The Annals of Mathematics, 2001

ABSTRACT . In this paper we consider various regularity results for discrete quasiperiodic Schrodinger equations Gamma/ n+1 Gamma /nGamma1 + V (` + n!)/n = E/n with analytic potential V . We prove that on intervals of positivity for the Lyapunov exponent the integrated density of states is Holder continuous in the energy provided ! has a typical continued fraction expansion. The proof is based on certain sharp large deviation theorems for the norms of the monodromy matrices and the "avalanche--principle". The latter refers to a mechanism that allows us to write the norm of a monodromy matrix as the product of the norms of many short blocks. In the multifrequency case the integrated density of states is shown to have a modulus of continuity of the form exp(Gammaj log tj oe ) for some 0 ! oe ! 1, but currently we do not obtain Holder continuity in the case of more than one frequency. We also present a mechanism for proving the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for large disorders for a...

On the asymptotic growth of Birkhoff integrals for locally Hamiltonian flows and ergodicity of their extensions

2021

We consider smooth area-preserving flows (also known as locally Hamiltonian flows) on surfaces of genus ggeq1g\geq 1ggeq1 and study ergodic integrals of smooth observables along the flow trajectories. We show that these integrals display a \emph{power deviation spectrum} and describe the cocycles that lead the pure power behaviour, giving a new proof of results by Forni (Annals 2002) and Bufetov (Annals 2014) and generalizing them to observables which are non-zero at fixed points. This in particular completes the proof of the original formulation of the Kontsevitch-Zorich conjecture. Our proof is based on building suitable \emph{correction operators} for cocycles with logarithmic singularities over a full measure set of interval exchange transformations (IETs), in the spirit of Marmi-Moussa-Yoccoz work on piecewise smooth cocycles over IETs. In the case of symmetric singularities, exploiting former work of the second author (Annals 2011), we prove a tightness result for a finite codimension...
