Asymptotic distributions of eigenvalues in context of PDEs (35P20) PDEs in connection with quantum mechanics (35Q40) Pseudodifferential operators as generalizations of partial differential operators (35S05) Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10) Semiclassical techniques, including WKB and Maslov methods applied to problems in quantum theory (81Q20)
Let \(A(h)=a_0+a_1h+a_2h^2+\ldots\) be an \(h\)-admissible pseudodifferential operator (\(h\psi\)do). Under suitable assumptions on \(a_0,\) the author studies the counting function \[ N^{P,Q}(\lambda,h):=\sum_{\lambda_j(h)\leq\lambda}\Bigl(P(h)\phi_j(h),Q(h)\phi_j(h) \Bigr)_{L^2({\mathbb R}^n)}, \] as \(h\to 0,\) where \(\lambda<\lambda_0\) (\(a_0^{-1}((-\infty,\lambda_0])\) non-empty and compact) denotes a fixed regular value of \(a_0,\) \(P(h),\) \(Q(h)\) denote two \(h\psi\)dos with compactly supported symbols (i.e. \(P(h)=p_0+p_1h+\ldots,\) where \(p_j\in C_0^\infty({\mathbb R}^{2n})\) for all \(j\in{\mathbb Z}_+;\) likewise for \(Q(h)\)), and \(\lambda_j(h)\), \(\phi_j(h)\) denote the eigenvalues and corresponding orthonormalized eigenfunctions of \(A(h)\). The sum is counted according to the multiplicity of each eigenvalue. The main result is a new two-term asymptotic formula for \(N^{P,Q}(\lambda,h),\) as \(h\to 0,\) that allows the author to reobtain, as a corollary, recent results concerning the clustering of eigenvalues [\textit{V. Petkov} and \textit{G. Popov}, Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Phys. Théor. 68, No. 1, 17-83 (1998; Zbl 0919.35095)] and, as an application, to study the semiclassical behavior of the quantum current [\textit{S. Fournais}, Commun. Partial Differ. Equ. 23, No.3-4, 601--628 (1998; Zbl 1054.81501)].
