Abstract

Let and denote the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of a Schrödinger type operator with discrete spectrum. Let be a coherent state centered at a point belonging to an elliptic periodic orbit, of action and Maslov index . We consider “weighted Weyl estimates” of the following form: we study the asymptotics, as along any sequence

fixed, of

We prove that the asymptotics depend strongly on -dependent arithmetical properties of and on the angles of the Poincaré mapping of . In particular, under irrationality assumptions on the angles, the limit exists for a non-open set of full measure of 's. We also study the regularity of the limit as a function of .
