Abstract: In this paper we describe the spectrum of the quantum periodic Benjamin-Ono equation in terms of the multi-phase solutions of the underlying classical system (the periodic multi-solitons). To do so, we show that the semi-classical quantization of this system given by Abanov-Wiegmann is exact and equivalent to the geometric quantization by Nazarov-Sklyanin. First, for the Liouville integrable subsystems defined from the multi-phase solutions, we use a result of G'{e}rard-Kappeler to prove that if one neglects the infinitely-many transverse directions in phase space, the regular Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions on the actions are equivalent to the condition that the singularities of the Dobrokhotov-Krichever multi-phase spectral curves define an anisotropic partition (Young diagram). Next, we locate the renormalization of the classical dispersion coefficient by Abanov-Wiegmann in the realization of Jack functions as quantum periodic Benjamin-Ono stationary states. Finally, we show that the classical energies of Bohr-Sommerfeld multi-phase solutions in the renormalized theory give the exact quantum spectrum found by Nazarov-Sklyanin without any Maslov index correction.

Review text

The author of this article is investigating the exact Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions for the quantum Benjamin-Ono equation. In other words the author is describing the spectrum of the quantum Benjamin-Ono equation in terms of the multi-phase solutions of the classical system, known also as periodic multi-solutions. In order to obtain the desired description the author proves that the semiclassical quantization of this system given by Abanov-Wiegmann is exact and equivalent to the geometric quantization realized by Nazarov and Sklyanin. Using results previously found by Gerard-Kappeler, Dobrokhotov and Krichever, and Nazarov-Sklyanin, the author finally proves that the classical energies of Bohr-Sommerfeld multi-phase solutions in the renormalized theory give the exact quantum spectrum found by Nazarov-Sklyanin without any Maslov index correction.
