Abstract: In this paper we explore the connection between semi-classical and quantum Birkhoff canonical forms (BCF) for Schrodinger operators. In particular we give a "non-symbolic" operator theoretic derivation of the quantum Birkhoff canonical form and provide an explicit recipe for expressing the quantum BCF in terms of the semi-classical BCF.

Review text

Let \(H:L^2(X)\rightarrow H^2(X)\) be a self-adjoint first order elliptic pseudo-differential operator on a smooth manifold \(X\). The authors consider the Schrödinger operator on \({\mathbb R}^n\) given by \(H=-h^2\Delta+V\) where \(V\rightarrow\infty\) as \(x\rightarrow\infty\) or more generally a self-adjoint semiclassical elliptic pseudo-differential operator whose symbol is proper as a map from the cotangent bundle of \(X\) to \({\mathbb R}\). The authors explore the connection between semi-classical and quantum Birkhoff canonical forms for such an operator and give a ``non-symbolic operator theoretic derivation of the quantum Birkhoff canonical form. They provide an explicit recipe for expressing the quantum Birkhoff canonical forms in terms of the semi-classical Birkhoff canonical form and develop a purely quantum mechanical approach to the theory of Birkhoff canonical forms in which symbolic expressions get replaced by operator theoretic expansions and estimates involving Hermite functions -- this is a local version of the Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation formalism.
