Approximate integrals of motion and the quantum chaoticity problem

Abstract

The problem of existence and constructing of integrals of motion in stationary quantum mechanics and its connection with quantum chaoticity is discussed. It is shown that the earlier suggested quantum chaoticity criterion characterizes destruction of initial symmetry of regular system and of basis quantum numbers under influence of perturbation. The convergent procedure allowing to construct approximate integrals of motion in the form of non-trivial combinations depending on operators $(q,p)$ is suggested. Properties of the obtained integrals with complicated structure and the consequences of their existence for system's dynamics are discussed. The method is used for explicit construction and investigation of the approximate integrals in Henon-Heiles problem.
