Aim of the course is to introduce the basic tools of pseudodifferential calculus, and apply them to analyze the long time dynamics of linear, time dependent Schrödinger equations. A particular emphasis will be given to the problem of growth of Sobolev norms.
Course contents:
Part 1: Pseudodifferential operators
- Symbolic calculus: composition, adjoints and quantizations
- Continuity in $L^2$ : the Calderon-Vaillancourt theorem, Garding inequality
- Flow generation and Egorov theorem
- Functional calculus
- Pseudodifferential operators on a manifold and global quantization
Part 2: Applications
- Semiclassical normal form
- Asymptotics of eigenvalues in special cases
- Upper and lower bounds on the growth of Sobolev norms in linear, time depedent Schrödinger equations
