Alexander Soibelman - Quantum spectra and quantum integrable systems @IhesFr

Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

A classical problem in quantum mechanics involves computing the spectrum of a Schrödinger-type differential operator. One can, for example, find the asymptotic expansions of the eigenvalues using the WKB method. Another approach, due to Sjöstrand, obtains such expansions directly from the operator, using its quantum normal form. We provide a geometric interpretation for this normal form, encoding it as a section of a vector bundle associated with the quantization of a complex integrable system. We also propose a number of conditions that allow us to determine this section uniquely.
This is joint work with Maxim Kontsevich.

$Karol Penson - Remarks on Certain Parametrized Algebraic Equations We consider several instances of pairs of integer sequences $(c(p,n), a(p,n))$, for integer $nge0$, and rational parameters $pgt0$, that are interrelated through: $$exp(sum_{n=1}^{infty},c(p,n).frac{t^n}{n})=sum_{n=0}^{infty},a(p,n).t^n.$$ Exact statements (Kontsevich, Reutenauer...) indicate that the algebraicity of the ordinary generating function (gf) of $a(p,n)$s implies the algebraicity of the gf of $c(p,n)$s. We employ an experimental-type approach by guessing such algebraic gfs of $c(p,n)$s that furnish algebraic gfs of $a(p,n)$s. We use the $c(p,n)$s in form containing various binomial coefficients parametrized by $p$, and this results in their gfs that are generalized hypergeometric functions. In certain situations we can recover the algebraicity of gfs of $a(p,n)$ even without the knowledge of an actual functional form of $a(p,n)$. In cases that the $a(p,n)$s can be fully identified from given $c(p,n)$s, we derive novel logarithmic identities between various generalized hypergeometric functions. If, in addition, we conceive $c(p,n)$ and $a(p,n)$ as moments, we solve their corresponding Hausdorff moment problems with the method of Meijer $G$-functions. The behaviour of solutions (weight functions) is studied both analytically and graphically. *) In collaboration with: G. H. E. Duchamp, M. Kontsevich and G. Koshevoy.
