We consider linear waves on a bounded domain where one part of the boundary is governed by a coupled lower-dimensional wave equation (i.e., dynamic Ventcel/Wentzell boundary condition) and is subject to viscous damping. The other (possibly empty) part is left at rest. When the dynamic boundary geometrically controls the domain, we show that the total energy of classical solutions decays like 1/t. The proof relies on an analysis of high-frequency quasimodes, suitable boundary estimates obtained in different microlocal regimes, and a special decoupling argument. Optimality is assessed via an appropriate quasimode construction.

Ongoing work with Nicolas Vanspranghe (Inria team DISCO, L2S –CentraleSupélec).

Bohr’s correspondence principle asserts that the predictions of classical and quantum mechanics coincide in the limit of large quantum numbers. This connection becomes especially striking when one studies Schrödinger-type equations for initial data minimising the uncertainty principle, known as “gaussian coherent states”, in the semiclassical limit. More precisely, in the context of quantum mechanics, one can derive a complete asymptotic expansion in the semiclassical parameter for solutions of such equations. The aim of this talk is to explain how to obtain a similar result in the framework of Quantum Field Theory for a certain class on analytic interactions, with a particular stress on spatially cutoff $P(\phi)_2$ interactions.
