On the distribution of perturbations of propagated Schrödinger eigenfunctions

Abstract: Let

(M, g_{0})

be a compact Riemmanian manifold of dimension

n

. Let

P_{0} (h) : = - h^{2} D e l t a_{g} + V

be the semiclassical Schr"{o}dinger operator for

h i n (0, h_{0}]

, and let

E

be a regular value of its principal symbol

p_{0} (x, x i) = | x i |_{g_{0} (x)}^{2} + V (x)

. Write

v a r p h i_{h}

for an

L^{2}

-normalized eigenfunction of

P (h)

,

P_{0} (h) v a r p h i_{h} = E (h) v a r p h i_{h}

and

E (h) i n [E - o (1), E + o (1)]

. Consider a smooth family of perturbations

g_{u}

of

g_{0}

with

u

in the ball

m a t h c a l B^{k} (v a r e p s i l o n) s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{k}

of radius

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

. For

P_{u} (h) : = - h^{2} D e l t a_{g_{u}} + V

and small

| t |

, we define the propagated perturbed eigenfunctions

varphi_h^{(u)}:=e^{-frac{i}{h}t P_u(h)} varphi_h.

We study the distribution of the real part of the perturbed eigenfunctions regarded as random variables

Re (varphi^{(cdot)}_h(x)):mathcal B^{k}(varepsilon) o mathbb R quad quad ext{for};, xin M.

In particular, when

(M, g)

is ergodic, we compute the

h o 0^{+}

asymptotics of the variance

e x t V a r [R e (v a r p h i_{h}^{(c d o t)} (x))]

and show that all odd moments vanish as

h o 0^{+} .
