Let X be a compact d-dimensional manifold and a first order positive
self-adjoint elliptic pseudodifferential operator. Let
,
be the eigenvalues of Q with corresponding eigenfunctions
, and let
be the orthogonal projection of
onto the space spanned
by
.
Let B be a zero order pseudodifferential operator on X.
We are interested in asymptotic trace formulas as
:
for and
In this talk, I will describe the following general results, which I obtained recently in joint work with Victor Guillemin.
Case 1. When the set of closed bicharacteristics under
the Hamiltonian flow generated by has measure zero,
we obtain the first 2 terms in (*).
Case 2. (Zoll Case)
When all bicharacteristics of the Hamiltonian flow generated by
are closed of length
,
the eigenvalues of Q clump together in thin bands
which, after a translation, can be centered at the points
,
.
We obtain the complete asymptotics (*), as
through
the integer values.
