First-Order ~ Corrections to Gutzwiller's Trace Formula for Systems with Discrete Symmetries
Holger Cartarius
Abstract
In the reference (B. Gremaud, Phys. Rev. E 65, 056207 (2002)) flrst-order ~ corrections to Gutzwiller's trace formula for systems with a smooth potential were presented. Here we present an extension of that theory to systems with discrete symmetries. We apply the method to the two-dimensional hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic fleld and exploit the C4v-symmetry in the calculation of the correction terms. The numerical results for the semiclassical values are compared with values extracted from exact quantum mechanical calculations. The comparison shows a very good agreement.
