Coherent State Methods in Spectral Asymptotics PhD
The number of negative eigenvalues of a Schrödinger operator in the asymptotic regime of large coupling is given by the celebrated Weyl law. A textbook proof of the leading order term in Weyl’s law uses coherent states – states that are as well-localized in phase-space as permitted by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This project aims to use coherent state methods (closely related to the so-called FBI transform) to go beyond leading order. Although these results can be obtained by highly sophisticated techniques such as Fourier Integral Operator calculus, coherent states offer a very flexible and robust alternative and are physically well-motivated.
