Nous considérons un opérateur pseudodifférentiel semiclassique sur une surface compacte, tel que le flot Hamiltonien engendré par son symbole principal possède, à une certaine énergie, une orbite périodique hyperbolique. Pour un paramètre ε>0 arbitrairement petit, nous construisons une famille de quasimodes de cet opérateur, dont la largeur en énergie est d’ordre εℏ/|logℏ|, mais qui possèdent un poids positif (une «  grosse balafre ») autour de cette orbite périodique. Notre construction procède par un contrôle de l’évolution de paquets d’onde gaussiens jusqu’au temps d’Ehrenfest.

We consider a semiclassical pseudodifferential operator on a compact surface, such that the Hamiltonian flow generated by its principal symbol admits a hyperbolic periodic orbit at some energy. For an arbitrary small ε>0, we construct semiclassical families of quasimodes of this operator, with energy widths of order εℏ/|logℏ|, and which feature a strong scar along that hyperbolic orbit. Our construction proceeds by controlling the evolution of Gaussian wavepackets up to the Ehrenfest time.
