Fractal dimensions and the phenomenon of intermittency in quantum dynamics

Source abstract

We exhibit an intermittency phenomenon in quantum dynamics. More precisely, we derive new lower bounds for the moments of order $p$ associated to the state $\psi(t)=e^{-itH}\psi$ and averaged in time between zero and $T$. These lower bounds are expressed in terms of generalized fractal dimensions $D^\pm_{\mu_\psi}(1/(1+p/d))$ of the measure $\mu_\psi$ (where $d$ is the space dimension). This improves previous results obtained in terms of Hausdorff and Packing dimension.
