The Relation Between Quantum Mechanics And Classical Mechanics: A Survey Of Some Mathematical Aspects

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 120))

Abstract

We give a survey of some mathematical work on the relation between quantum mechanical quantities like eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Schrödinger operators and classical mechanical quantities, like classical actions computed along classical paths and lengths of geodesies. In particular we discuss the distribution of eigenvalues for a domain Rd or a Riemannian manifold. We also single out the manifolds for which the heat kernel and the spectrum of the Laplacian are given entirely by (the lengths of) geodesies, i.e., by classical orbits.
