Review text

The authors begin by generalizing results of Taylor and of Helffer and Sjöstrand on the approximate diagonalization of systems of pseudodifferential operators: here they do not assume that the principal symbol is diagonal, but rather that its eigenvalues can take only two values which remain uniformly separated. Then they construct approximate projectors as pseudodifferential operators, which split the original system in two blocks. They also give a generalization of the semiclassical Egorov theorem, by considering quantum evolutions of nonscalar Hamiltonians. Then they apply these results to the Dirac operator, and they get a complete asymptotics of the scattering amplitude as well as a description of the evolution of coherent states by the Dirac equation.
