Abstract

We propose a sketch for a proof of an interesting theorem on the evolution of coherent states, whose statement has been first presented in Paul (Séminaire: Équations aux Dérivées Partielles. 2007–2008, pages Exp. No. IV, 21. École Polytech., Palaiseau, 2009), and give some further insights on the asymptotic behavior, involving weak KAM theory.

Notes

  1. We just recall that \(\varLambda\subset T^{*}\mathbb{T}^{n}\) is Lagrangian if (i) \(\dim \varLambda =\dim \mathbb{T}^{n}=n\) and (ii) the symplectic 2-form \(\omega=\sum_{i=1}^{n} dp_{i}\wedge dq^{i}\) restricted on Λ is vanishing: ω| Λ =0.

  2. By Maslov-Hörmander theory.

  3. In the present case we are concerning with a Hamiltonian vector field: \(X_{h}: T^{*}\mathbb{T}^{n}\to TT^{*}\mathbb{T}^{n}\).

  4. At the first order of some hierarchical sequence or of the approximation of the Madelung equation.

  5. For the definition of Tonelli Hamiltonian see [6].

  6. To be precise, in [1] the authors considered the mathematical setting of the forward viscosity solutions: in the mechanical case under consideration here, the standard backward solution setting is easily restored by exchanging S by −S: this is the motivation for which their Stable Manifold becomes here Unstable Manifold.
