Absence of principal eigenvalues for higher rank locally symmetric spaces

T. Weich, L.L. Wolf, in: arXiv:2205.03167, 2022

Given a geometrically finite hyperbolic surface of infinite volume it is a classical result of Patterson that the positive Laplace-Beltrami operator has no $L^2$-eigenvalues $\geq 1/4$. In this article we prove a generalization of this result for the joint $L^2$-eigenvalues of the algebra of commuting differential operators on Riemannian locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ of higher rank. We derive dynamical assumptions on the $\Gamma$-action on the geodesic and the Satake compactifications which imply the absence of the corresponding principal eigenvalues. A large class of examples fulfilling these assumptions are the non-compact quotients by Anosov subgroups.

Semiclassical formulae For Wigner distributions

P. Schütte, S. Barkhofen, T. Weich, Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical (2022), 55(24), 244007

In this paper we give an overview over some aspects of the modern mathematical theory of Ruelle resonances for chaotic, i.e. uniformly hyperbolic, dynamical systems and their implications in physics. First we recall recent developments in the mathematical theory of resonances, in particular how invariant Ruelle distributions arise as residues of weighted zeta functions. Then we derive a correspondence between weighted and semiclassical zeta functions in the setting of negatively curved surfaces. Combining this with results of Hilgert, Guillarmou and Weich yields a high frequency interpretation of invariant Ruelle distributions as quantum mechanical matrix coefficients in constant negative curvature. We finish by presenting numerical calculations of phase space distributions in the more physical setting of 3-disk scattering systems.

Meromorphic Continuation of Weighted Zeta Functions on Open Hyperbolic Systems

P. Schütte, T. Weich, S. Barkhofen, 2021

In this article we prove meromorphic continuation of weighted zeta functions in the framework of open hyperbolic systems by using the meromorphically continued restricted resolvent of Dyatlov and Guillarmou (2016). We obtain a residue formula proving equality between residues of weighted zetas and invariant Ruelle distributions. We combine this equality with results of Guillarmou, Hilgert and Weich (2021) in order to relate the residues to Patterson-Sullivan distributions. Finally we provide proof-of-principle results concerning the numerical calculation of invariant Ruelle distributions for 3-disc scattering systems.

Resonances and weighted zeta functions for obstacle scattering via smooth models

P. Schütte, T. Weich, B. Delarue, 2021

We consider a geodesic billiard system consisting of a complete Riemannian manifold and an obstacle submanifold with boundary at which the trajectories of the geodesic flow experience specular reflections. We show that if the geodesic billiard system is hyperbolic on its trapped set and the latter is compact and non-grazing the techniques for open hyperbolic systems developed by Dyatlov and Guillarmou can be applied to a smooth model for the discontinuous flow defined by the non-grazing billiard trajectories. This allows us to obtain a meromorphic resolvent for the generator of the billiard flow. As an application we prove a meromorphic continuation of weighted zeta functions together with explicit residue formulae. In particular, our results apply to scattering by convex obstacles in the Euclidean plane.

Higher rank quantum-classical correspondence

J. Hilgert, T. Weich, L.L. Wolf, in: arXiv:2103.05667, 2021

For a compact Riemannian locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ of arbitrary rank we determine the location of certain Ruelle-Taylor resonances for the Weyl chamber action. We provide a Weyl-lower bound on an appropriate counting function for the Ruelle-Taylor resonances and establish a spectral gap which is uniform in $\Gamma$ if $G/K$ is irreducible of higher rank. This is achieved by proving a quantum-classical correspondence, i.e. a 1:1-correspondence between horocyclically invariant Ruelle-Taylor resonant states and joint eigenfunctions of the algebra of invariant differential operators on $G/K$.

Pollicott-Ruelle Resonant States and Betti Numbers

Additionally, we prove that this equality is stable under small perturbations of the Riemannian metric and simultaneous small perturbations of the geodesic vector field within the class of contact vector fields. For more general perturbations we get bounds on the multiplicity of the resonance zero on all one-forms in terms of the first and zeroth Betti numbers. Furthermore, we identify for hyperbolic manifolds further resonance spaces whose multiplicities are given by higher Betti numbers. </jats:p>

Spectral Asymptotics for Kinetic Brownian Motion on Hyperbolic Surfaces

M. Kolb, T. Weich, L.L. Wolf, in: arXiv:1909.06183, 2019

The kinetic Brownian motion on the sphere bundle of a Riemannian manifold $M$ is a stochastic process that models a random perturbation of the geodesic flow. If $M$ is a orientable compact constant negatively curved surface, we show that in the limit of infinitely large perturbation the $L^2$-spectrum of the infinitesimal generator of a time rescaled version of the process converges to the Laplace spectrum of the base manifold. In addition, we give explicit error estimates for the convergence to equilibrium. The proofs are based on noncommutative harmonic analysis of $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$.
