Perturbation of the semiclassical Schrödinger equation on negatively curved surfaces

Abstract

We consider the semiclassical Schrödinger equation on a compact negatively curved surface. For any sequence of initial data microlocalized on the unit cotangent bundle, we look at the quantum evolution (below the Ehrenfest time) under small perturbations of the Schrödinger equation, and we prove that, in the semiclassical limit and for typical perturbations, the solutions become equidistributed on the unit cotangent bundle.
