Growth of Sobolev norms for abstract linear Schrödinger equations (Q2659441)

Summary: We prove an abstract theorem giving a \(\langle t\rangle^\epsilon\) bound (for all \(\epsilon > 0)\) on the growth of the Sobolev norms in linear Schrödinger equations of the form \(\mathrm i \dot{\psi} = H_0 \psi + V(t) \psi\) as \(t \to \infty\). The abstract theorem is applied to several cases, including the cases where (i) \(H_0\) is the Laplace operator on a Zoll manifold and \(V(t)\) a pseudodifferential operator of order smaller than 2; (ii) \(H_0\) is the (resonant or nonresonant) Harmonic oscillator in \(\mathbb R^d\) and \(V(t)\) a pseudodifferential operator of order smaller than that of \(H_0\) depending in a quasiperiodic way on time. The proof is obtained by first conjugating the system to some normal form in which the perturbation is a smoothing operator and then applying the results of \textit{A. Maspero} and the last author [J. Funct. Anal. 273, No. 2, 721--781 (2017; Zbl 1366.35153)].
