Cycle expansions
-----------------

First we discuss progress on the pinball simulator. Pending any,
we start learning how to actually use the semiclassical spectral
determinants.

Reading:
--------
	Classical and Quantum Chaos	
        ---    www.nbi.dk/ChaosBook/postscript.html

chapter 1 - Overture
	sect 1.3 Game of pinball
	sect 1.4 Periodic orbit theory
	sect 1.5 Evolution operators
	sect 1.7 Semiclassical quantization
	
The discussion is about classical chaos, but the formalism is the
same as what we need to implement semiclassical quantization

chapter  8 - Spectral determinants
	sect. 8.3 Dynamical zeta functions
	(up to but excluding subsection 8.3.1)
	sect. 8.5.1 Spectral determinants vs. dynamical zeta functions
chapter 13 - Cycle expansions
