The semiclassical theory of discontinuous systems and ray-splitting billiards

The semiclassical theory of discontinuous systems and ray-splitting billiards

We analyze the semiclassical limit of spectral theory on manifolds whose metrics have jump-like discontinuities. Such systems are quite different from manifolds with smooth Riemannian metrics because the semiclassical limit does not relate to a classical flow but rather to branching (ray-splitting) billiard dynamics. In order to describe this system …
