Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10) Semiclassical techniques, including WKB and Maslov methods applied to problems in quantum theory (81Q20)

Abstract: We prove an approximate spectral theorem for non-self-adjoint operators and investigate its applications to second order differential operators in the semi-classical limit. This leads to the construction of a twisted FBI transform. We also investigate the connections between pseudospectra and boundary conditions in the semi-classical limit.

Review text

The theory of pseudo-spectra developed (particularly in papers of the author) for investigating properties of non-self-adjoint (NSA) operators [\textit{E. B. Davies}, J. Oper. Theory 43, 243--262 (2000; Zbl 0998.34067)] is applied to second-order differential operators. For this aim, a new and more general definition of pseudo-spectra is given which provides a link with the geometry of phase space. The paper has three parts. In the first one an abstract approximate spectral theorem for NSA operators is proved which is shown to be connected with quantization. The second part relates the theory to the semi-classical analysis of differential operators. Finally, the concept of boundary pseudo-eigenvectors is introduced and the procedure of their construction described.
