The superadiabatic projectors method applied to the spectral theory of magnetic operators

Lino Benedetto, Clotilde Fermanian Kammerer, Nicolas Raymond, Éric Vacelet

TL;DR

The paper develops a generalized theory of superadiabatic projectors for operator‑valued symbols, constructing a microlocal projector $\Pi^w$ that commutes with a semiclassical operator $H^w$ and defines an effective adiabatic Hamiltonian independent of spectral parameters. By factoring and reducing to scalar blocks via $L^w$ and $\ell^w$, the authors connect the spectrum of the full operator to scalar pseudodifferential operators, obtaining spectral theorems that hold up to $\mathscr{O}(h^\infty)$ in favorable settings. They apply the framework to two‑dimensional magnetic problems: electro‑magnetic wells and Robin magnetic Laplacians, delivering explicit eigenvalue asymptotics and a diagonal block description that recovers or refines existing results like those of Fahs, Le Treust and Raymond. The methodology offers a clean alternative to Grushin‑type approaches and provides a versatile route to spectral analysis of magnetic operators, with potential for broader applications in multiscale quantum problems.

Abstract

This article deals with a generalization of the superadiabatic projectors method. In a general framework, the well-known superadiabatic projectors are constructed and accurately described in the case of rank one, when a remarkable factorization occurs. We apply these ideas to spectral theory and we explain how our abstract results allow to recover or improve recent results about the semiclassical magnetic Laplacian.

Theorem 1.2

Let $H \in S(\mathbb{R}^{2d},\mathscr{L}(\mathscr{A},\mathscr{B}))$ be an admissible operator-valued symbol and $H^w$ its Weyl quantization. We assume that Assumption eq.assumption holds. Then, there exists an admissible operator-valued symbol $\Pi\in S(\mathbb{R}^{2d},\mathscr{L}(\mathscr{B},\maths where the remainder $\mathscr{O}(h^\infty)$ is a pseudodifferential operator whose symbol is in the
