Spectrum and abnormals in sub-Riemannian geometry: the 4D quasi-contact case (1909.00409v1)
Published 1 Sep 2019 in math.DG, math.DS, and math.SP
Abstract: We prove several relations between spectrum and dynamics including wave trace expansion, sharp/improved Weyl laws, propagation of singularities and quantum ergodicity for the sub-Riemannian (sR) Laplacian in the four dimensional quasi-contact case. A key role in all results is played by the presence of abnormal geodesics and represents the first such appearance of these in sub-Riemannian spectral geometry.
