A product formula for the eigenfunctions of a quartic oscillator

We consider the Schrödinger operator on the real line with an even quartic potential. Our main result is a product formula of the type $ψ_k(x)ψ_k(y) = \int_{\mathbb{R}} ψ_k(z)\mathcal{K}(x,y,z)dz$ for its eigenfunctions $ψ_k$. The kernel function $\mathcal{K}$ is given explicitly in terms of the Airy function $\mathrm{Ai}(x)$, and is positive for appropriate parameter values. As an application, we obtain a particular asymptotic expansion of the eigenfunctions $ψ_k$.
