Asymptotic properties of generalized eigenfunctions for multi-dimensional quantum walks


Abstract in English

We construct a distorted Fourier transformation associated with the multi-dimensional quantum walk. In order to avoid the complication of notations, almost all of our arguments are restricted to two dimensional quantum walks (2DQWs) without loss of generality. The distorted Fourier transformation characterizes generalized eigenfunctions of the time evolution operator of the QW. The 2DQW which will be considered in this paper has an anisotropy due to the definition of the shift operator for the free QW. Then we define an anisotropic Banach space as a modified Agmon-H{o}rmanders $mathcal{B}^*$ space and we derive the asymptotic behavior at infinity of generalized eigenfunctions in these spaces. The scattering matrix appears in the asymptotic expansion of generalized eigenfunctions.
