For the associated Hamiltonian we consider the the Schrodinger operator ${\\bf H}_\\beta=\\, -\\,\\frac{1}{2 \\beta^2} \\, \\Delta +V$ where $\\beta$ is large real parameter. Moreover, for the given form $\\beta\\, w$ we consider the associated twist operator ${\\bf H}_\\beta^w$. We denote by $({\\bf H}_\\beta^w)^*$ the corresponding backward operator. We are interested in the positive eigenfunction $ \\psi_\\beta$ associated to the the eigenvalue $ E_\\beta$ for the operator ${\\bf H}_\\beta^{w} $. We denote $ \\psi_\\beta^*$ the positive eigenfunction associated to the the eigenvalue $ E_\\beta$ for the operator $({\\bf H}_\\beta^{w})^* $. Finally, we analyze the asymptotic limit of the probability $\\nu_\\beta= \\psi_\\beta\\, \\psi_\\beta^*$ on the torus when $\\beta \\to \\infty$. The limit probability is a Mather measure. We consider Large deviations properties and we derive a result on Transport Theory. We denote $L^{-}(x,v) = \\frac{1}{2} \\, |v|^2 - V(x) - w_x(v) $ and $L^{+}(x,v) = \\frac{1}{2} \\, |v|^2 - V(x) + w_x(v) $. We are interest in the transport problem from $\\mu_{-}$ (the Mather measure for $L^{-}$) to $\\mu_{+}$ (the Mather measure for $L^{+}$) for some natural cost function. In the case the maximizing probability is unique we use a Large Deviation Principle due to N. Anantharaman in order to show that the conjugated sub-solutions $u$ and $u^*$ define an admissible pair which is optimal for the dual Kantorovich problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-01T14:16:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A50", "37A60", "37N20", "60F10", "81Q20" ], "keywords": [ "mather measure", "schrodinger operator", "dual kantorovich problem", "large real parameter", "large deviation principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
