We study the direct and inverse spectral problems for semiclassical operators
of the form $S = S_0 +\h^2V$, where $S_0 = \frac 12 \Bigl(-\h^2\Delta_{\bbR^n}
+ |x|^2\Bigr)$ is the harmonic oscillator and $V:\bbR^n\to\bbR$ is a tempered
smooth function. We show that the spectrum of $S$ forms eigenvalue clusters as
$\h$ tends to zero, and compute the first two associated "band invariants". We
derive several inverse spectral results for $V$, under various assumptions.
In this paper we study a semiclassical heat trace expansion for perturbations
of the harmonic oscillator, by adapting to the semiclassical setting techniques
developed by Hitrik and Polterovich in [HP]. We use the expansion to obtain
certain inverse spectral results.
This paper outlines an approach to the non-abelian theta functions of the
$SU(2)$-Chern-Simons theory with the methods used by A. Weil for studying
classical theta functions. First we translate in knot theoretic language
classical theta functions, the action of the finite Heisenberg group, and the
discrete Fourier transform.
