Abstract: We consider Hamiltonian systems of a certain class with unstable orbits moving to infinity. We prove a theorem showing that analogous quantum states do not exist. This theorem is applied to Schrodinger operators with potentials of degree zero which are Morse when restricted to the unit sphere.

Review text

The purpose of this paper is to show in a class of models that there are no quantum states corresponding to unstable classical channels. Hamiltonians arising from symbols of degree zero in \(x\) is treated in detail and a generalization is outlined.
