Noncommutative Geometry, Spectral Asymptotics, and Semiclassical Analysis

TL;DR

This paper develops new semiclassical Weyl laws and spectral integration formulas for noncommutative manifolds, extending previous results by removing regularity restrictions and introducing a broader spectral condition called Condition (W).

Contribution

It generalizes and simplifies recent spectral results by replacing restrictive assumptions with a more general spectral condition, expanding applicability to various geometric and quantum settings.

Findings

Established semiclassical Weyl laws for multiple geometric settings.

Extended Connes' integration formula to a broader class of noncommutative manifolds.

Replaced the Tauberian condition with a weaker, more practical spectral condition.

Abstract

Semiclassical analysis and noncommutative geometry are two pillars of quantum theory. It's only recently that bridges between them have been emerging. In this monograph, we combine various techniques from functional analysis and spectral theory to obtain semiclassical Weyl laws and extensions of Connes' integration formula for a large class of noncommutative manifolds (i.e., spectral triples). These results generalize and simplify recent results of McDonald-Sukochev-Zanin. In particular, all the regularity assumptions and restrictions on dimension there are removed in our approach. Moreover, the Tauberian condition used by McDonald-Sukochev-Zanin is replaced by a weaker spectral theoretic condition, called Condition (W). That condition holds in fairly greater generality and significantly open the scope of applicability of the main results. We also give Tauberian conditions that imply Condition (W). These Tauberian conditions are easier to check in practice than the Tauberian condition of McDonald-Sukochev-Zanin and are satisfied in numerous examples. The need for these conditions was highlighted by Alain Connes in an online seminar. The main results of this memoire are illustrated by semiclassical Weyl's laws and integration formulas in the following settings: (i) Dirichlet and Neumann problems on Euclidean domains with smooth boundaries; (ii) closed Riemannian manifolds; (iii) open manifolds with conformally cusp metrics of finite volume; (iv) quantum tori; and (v) sub-Riemannian manifolds.
