Spectral asymptotics for the semiclassical Dirichlet to Neumann operator (Q1674006)

Summary: Let \(M\) be a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary, and let \(R(\lambda)\) be the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator at frequency \(\lambda\). The semiclassical Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator \(R_{\text{scl}}(\lambda)\) is defined to be \(\lambda^{-1} R(\lambda)\). We obtain a leading asymptotic for the spectral counting function for \(R_{\text{scl}}(\lambda)\) in an interval \([a_1, a_2)\) as \(\lambda \rightarrow \infty\), under the assumption that the measure of periodic billiards on \(T^*M\) is zero. The asymptotic takes the form \[ \mathrm{N}(\lambda; a_1,a_2) = (\kappa(a_2)-\kappa(a_1))\mathrm{vol}'(\partial M)\lambda^{d-1}+o(\lambda^{d-1}), \] where \(\kappa(a)\) is given explicitly by \[ \kappa(a) = \frac{\omega_{d-1}}{(2\pi)^{d-1}} \bigg( -\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-1}^1 (1 - \eta^2)^{(d-1)/2} \frac{a}{a^2 + \eta^2} \, d\eta - \frac{1}{4} + H(a) (1+a^2)^{(d-1)/2} \bigg ). \]
