Abstract: In a recent preprint, we showed that for the Dirichlet Laplacian $Delta$ on the unit disk, the wave trace $Tr(e^{itsqrtDelta})$, which has complicated singularities on $2pi-epsilon<t<2pi$, is, on the interval $2pi<t<2pi+epsilon$, the restriction to this interval of a $C^{i}nfty$ function on its closure. In this paper we prove the analogue of this somewhat counter-intuitive result for the Friedlander model. The proof for the Friedlander model is simpler and more transparent than in the case of the unit disk.

Review text

The authors investigate the behaviour of the wave trace of the Friedlander operator \[ L = -\partial_x^2 - (1+x)\partial_y^2 \] on the cylinder \([0,\infty) \times (\mathbb{R} / 2\pi\mathbb{Z})\) with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In an earlier preprint [``Singularities of the wave trace near cluster points of the length spectrum, Preprint, \url{arXiv:1101.0099}], the same authors had considered the wave trace \[ Z(t) = \sum_{j=1}^\infty e^{it\sqrt{\lambda_j}} \] of the Dirichlet Laplacian on the unit disk \(D\), where \(\lambda_j>0\) are the eigenvalues and \(Z\) is to be understood as a tempered distribution. On the disk, the value \(2\pi = |\partial D|\) is an accumulation point of the length spectrum of \(D\), i.e., the set of singularities of \(Z\). Nevertheless, the authors showed that \(\mathrm{Re}\, Z\) is actually bounded and \(C^\infty\) in a right neighbourhood of \(2\pi\). In the current paper, the authors prove a corresponding statement for the wave trace associated with the discrete part of the spectrum of the Friedlander operator \(L\), as a simpler and more transparent case than that of the Laplacian on the disk, which may also help to point the way to a proof for more general convex domains.
