Abstract: We study eigenvalues of quantum open baker's maps with trapped sets given by linear arithmetic Cantor sets of dimensions deltain(0,1). We show that the size of the spectral gap is strictly greater than the standard bound max(0,1over2−delta) for all values of delta, which is the first result of this kind. The size of the improvement is determined from a fractal uncertainty principle and can be computed for any given Cantor set. We next show a fractal Weyl upper bound for the number of eigenvalues in annuli, with exponent which depends on the inner radius of the annulus.


Open quantum maps are useful models in the study of scattering phenomena and in particular scattering resonances. This paper investigates eigenvalues for a family of open quantum maps known as quantum open Baker's maps. The corresponding trapped orbits form Cantor sets. The combinatorial and number theoretic properties of these sets make it possible to prove results on spectral gaps that lie well beyond what is known for other models. A fractal Weyl upper bound also is given and numerical results are provided.
