We present here a canonical quantization for the baker's map. The method we use is quite different from that used in Balazs and Voros and Saraceno. We first construct a natural ``baker covering map'' on the plane R 2 . We then use as the quantum algebra of observables the subalgebra of operators on

β¦ Synopsis
The semiclassical limit for an iteration of the baker's map is constructed by quantizing the corresponding iteration of the classical map. The resulting propagator can be expressed in terms of the classical generating function, leading to explicit expressions for the actions of all the periodic orbits. The periodic orbit sum for the smoothed density of quasi-energy levels is derived taking full account of the discreteness of the underlying phase space. Comparison with exact results shows excellent agreement for smoothings which are much larger than the average level spacing.

We quantize graphs (networks) which consist of a finite number of bonds and vertices. We show that the spectral statistics of fully connected graphs is well reproduced by random matrix theory. We also define a classical phase space for the graphs, where the dynamics is mixing and the periodic orbits
## Abstract In this paper, we study the existence of antiβperiodic solutions for the first order evolution equation equation image in a Hilbert space __H__, where __G__ : __H__ β β is an even function such that β__G__ is a mapping of class (__S__~+~) and __f__ : β β β satisfies __f__(__t__ + __T_
Using the fact that the energy eigenstates of the equilateral triangle infinite well (or billiard) are available in closed form, we examine the connections between the energy eigenvalue spectrum and the classical closed paths in this geometry, using both periodic orbit theory and the short-term semi
