In this talk we explain a simple treatment of the quantum Birkhoff normal form for semiclassical pseudo-differential operators with smooth coefficients. The normal form is applied to describe the discrete spectrum in a generalised non-degenerate potential well, yielding uniform estimates in the energy . This permits a detailed study of the spectrum in various asymptotic regions of the parameters , and gives improvements and new proofs for many of the results in the field. In the completely resonant case we show that the pseudo-differential operator can be reduced to a Toeplitz operator on a reduced symplectic orbifold. Using this quantum reduction, new spectral asymptotics concerning the fine structure of eigenvalue clusters are proved.
Keywords: Birkhoff normal form, resonances, pseudo-differential operators, spectral asymptotics, symplectic reduction, Toeplitz operators, eigenvalue cluster
