Semi-classical analysis for the Schrödinger operator and applications. (English) Zbl 0647.35002

Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 1336. Berlin etc.: Springer-Verlag. iv, 107 p. DM 23.00 (1988).
This book is a very nice introduction to recent and deep results obtained by the author and J. Sjöstrand about the tunneling effect in quantum mechanics. Here the author gives a simpler method than in the original papers, less general but easier to understand. The content of this book concerns essentially: B. K. W. Constructions, decay of eigenfunctions, interaction between different potential wells. In the two last parts there are also results about periodic electric potentials and on Schrödinger operators with magnetic fields.
