Abstract: Prequantum dynamics has been introduced in the 70' by Kostant-Souriau-Kirillov as an intermediate between classical and quantum dynamics. In common with the classical dynamics, prequantum dynamics transports functions on phase space, but add some phases which are important in quantum interference effects. In the case of hyperbolic dynamical systems, it is believed that the study of the prequantum dynamics will give a better understanding of the quantum interference effects for large time, and of their statistical properties. We consider a linear hyperbolic map M in SL(2,Z) which generates a chaotic dynamics on the torus. This dynamics is lifted on a prequantum fiber bundle. This gives a unitary prequantum (partially hyperbolic) map. We calculate its resonances and show that they are related with the quantum eigenvalues. A remarkable consequence is that quantum dynamics emerges from long time behaviour of prequantum dynamics. We present trace formulas, and discuss perspectives of this approach in the non linear case.

Review text

Prequantum dynamics was introduced in the 1970s by Kostant, Souriau and Kirillov as an intermediate between classical and quantum dynamics. In this paper the author presents the prequantum quantization of a linear hyperbolic map on the torus and its relation to the corresponding quantum system. The classical dynamical system considered is a simple model for chaotic dynamics given by the iteration of a linear hyperbolic map \(M\) on the torus \(\mathbb{T}^2\). The corresponding quantum dynamics is given by the iteration of a unitary operator \(\widehat{M}\) on a finite dimensional Hilbert space of dimension \(N=\frac{1}{2\pi\hbar}\). The prequantization is a lift of the classical map to a Hermitian complex line bundle \(L\) over \(\mathbb{T}^2\) with curvature \(2\pi iN \omega\) where \(\omega\) the symplectic two form on \(\mathbb{T}^2\). This map defines a unitary operator \(\widetilde M\) on the infinite dimensional prequantum Hilbert space \(L^2(L)\). The main result of this paper is the following relation between the quantum spectrum and the resonances for the prequantum dynamics. The author shows that the Ruelle-Pollicott resonances for the prequantum dynamics are given by \(r_{n,k}=e^{i\varphi_k-\lambda(n+1/2)}\) where \(e^{i\varphi_k},\;k=1,\ldots,N\) is the spectrum of the quantum map (i.e., the eigenvalues of \(\widehat{M}\)) and \(\lambda\) is the Lyapunov exponent of the classical map. He further shows that the prequantum operator satisfies an exact trace formula which can be used to derive the trace formula for the quantum map (which is also an exact formula in this case). The author suggests that this method could be used also for nonlinear maps, in order to derive a semi-classical trace formula valid beyond the Ehrenfest time.
