Abstract

We investigate a Hamiltonian with a symmetric double well and a uniform magnetic field, where tunneling occurs in the simultaneous limit of strong magnetic field and deep potential wells with disjoint supports. We derive an accurate estimate of its magnitude, and obtain a precise leading order asymptotic expression for the effect of a strong magnetic field, improving on the upper and lower bounds established earlier by Fefferman, Shapiro and Weinstein.
