On the entropy of quantum limits for 2-dimensional cat maps (Q981689)

In this paper semiclassical measures, or quantum limits, for quantized hyperbolic automorphisms \(A\) of \(\mathbb{T}^2\) (that is \(tr(A) > 2\)) are studied. It is shown that any quantum limit has the following property: if a weight \(\alpha\) is carried on ergodic components of low entropy less than \(h_0\), then a weight \(\geq \alpha\) must be carried on ergodic components of high entropy (\(\geq h_{\text{max}}-h_0\), where \( h_{\text{max}}\) is the maximal entropy). This combines some existing partial results towards the classification of quantum limits.
