We investigate the iterated Kronecker product of a square matrix with itself and prove an invariance property for symmetric subspaces. This motivates the definition of an iterated symmetric Kronecker product and the derivation of an explicit formula for its action on vectors. We apply our result for describing a linear change in the matrix parametrization of semiclassical wave packets.

Let $det_2(A)$ be the block-wise determinant (partial determinant). We consider the condition for completing the determinant $det(det_2(A)) = det(A),$ and characterize the case for an arbitrary Kronecker product $A$ of matrices over an arbitrary field. Further insisting that $det_2(AB)=det_2(A)det_2(B)$, for Kronecker products $A$ and $B$, yields a multiplicative monoid of matrices. This leads to a determinant-root operation $text{Det}$ which satisfies $text{Det}(text{Det}_2(A)) = text{Det}(A)$ when $A$ is a Kronecker product of matrices for which $text{Det}$ is defined.
In this paper we compare three different orthogonal systems in $mathrm{L}_2(mathbb{R})$ which can be used in the construction of a spectral method for solving the semi-classically scaled time dependent Schrodinger equation on the real line, specifically, stretched Fourier functions, Hermite functions and Malmquist--Takenaka functions. All three have banded skew-Hermitian differentiation matrices, which greatly simplifies their implementation in a spectral method, while ensuring that the numerical solution is unitary -- this is essential in order to respect the Born interpretation in quantum mechanics and, as a byproduct, ensures numerical stability with respect to the $mathrm{L}_2(mathbb{R})$ norm. We derive asymptotic approximations of the coefficients for a wave packet in each of these bases, which are extremely accurate in the high frequency regime. We show that the Malmquist--Takenaka basis is superior, in a practical sense, to the more commonly used Hermite functions and stretched Fourier expansions for approximating wave packets
Quantum fields do not satisfy the pointwise energy conditions that are assumed in the original singularity theorems of Penrose and Hawking. Accordingly, semiclassical quantum gravity lies outside their scope. Although a number of singularity theorems have been derived under weakened energy conditions, none is directly derived from quantum field theory. Here, we employ a quantum energy inequality satisfied by the quantized minimally coupled linear scalar field to derive a singularity theorem valid in semiclassical gravity. By considering a toy cosmological model, we show that our result predicts timelike geodesic incompleteness on plausible timescales with reasonable conditions at a spacelike Cauchy surface.
We justify WKB analysis for Hartree equation in space dimension at least three, in a regime which is supercritical as far as semiclassical analysis is concerned. The main technical remark is that the nonlinear Hartree term can be considered as a semilinear perturbation. This is in contrast with the case of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a local nonlinearity, where quasilinear analysis is needed to treat the nonlinearity.
We present a simple formula for the generating function for the polynomials in the $d$--dimensional semiclassical wave packets. We then use this formula to prove the associated Rodrigues formula.
