چکیده

We apply the techniques of [BL10] to study joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and one Hecke operator on compact congruence surfaces, and joint eigenfunctions of the two partial Laplacians on compact quotients of H × H. In both cases, we show that quantum limit measures of such sequences of eigenfunctions carry positive entropy on almost every ergodic component. Together with the work of [Lin06], this implies Quantum Unique Ergodicity for such functions. Résumé: Nous appliquons les techniques de [BL10] d’étudier fonctions propres jointes du laplacien et d’un opérateur Hecke sur les surfaces compactes de congruence, et fonctions propres jointes des deux laplaciens partiels sur les quotients compacts de H × H. Dans les deux cas, nous montrons entropie strictement positive sur presque toutes les composantes ergodiques des limites quantiques. Avec les travaux de [Lin06], ce implique Unique Ergodicité Quantique pour ces fonctions. 1. Version française abrégée Notre premier résultat concerne certaines surfaces compactes arithmétiques Γ\H de type congruence. On peut considèrer des surfaces plus général, mais pour simplifier, nous limiter à la situation suivante.. Soit H une algèbre à division de quaternions sur Q, scindée sur (R), etR un ordre dansH. Fixons un isomorphisme Ψ : H(R) ∼= Mat2(R). Si la norme n(α) de α ∈ R est positive, on écrit α = n(α)−1/2Ψ(α) ∈ SL2(R). On note Γ l’image par Ψ du sous-groupe des éléments de R ayant norme unitaire. Le sous-groupe Γ est discret et co-compact dans SL2(R), et le quotient X = Γ\SL2(R) est donc un recouvrement à deux feuillets du fibré unitaire cotangent d’une surface compacte hyperbolique M = Γ\H. Ecrivons R(m) pour l’ensemble des éléments de R ayant norme m, et définissons l’opérateur de Hecke Tm : f(x) 7→ 1 √ m ∑

No Quantum Ergodicity for Star Graphs

We investigate statistical properties of the eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger operator on families of star graphs with incommensurate bond lengths. We show that these eigenfunctions are not quantum ergodic in the limit as the number of bonds tends to infinity by finding an observable for which the quantum matrix elements do not converge to the classical average. We further show that for a give...

Quantum Ergodicity and the Analysis of Semiclassical Pseudodifferential Operators

This thesis is concerned with developing the tools of differential geometry and semiclassical analysis needed to understand the the quantum ergodicity theorem of Schnirelman (1974), Zelditch (1987), and de Verdière (1985) and the quantum unique ergodicity conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak (1994). The former states that, on any Riemannian manifold with negative curvature or ergodic geodesic flow,...

Adelic Dynamics and Arithmetic Quantum Unique Ergodicity

LetM be a complete Riemannian manifold with finite volume which we initially assume to be compact. Then since M is compact, L(M) is spanned by the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian ∆ on M . Many interesting questions can be asked about these eigenfunctions and their properties, and of these we focus on one, quantum ergodicity, which to the best of my knowledge was first considered by A. I. Šnirel...

Note on Quantum Unique Ergodicity

The purpose of this note is to record an observation about quantum unique ergodicity (QUE) which is relevant to the recent construction of H. Donnelly [D] of quasi-modes on nonpositively curved surfaces and to similar examples known as bouncing ball modes [BSS, H] on stadia. It gives a rigorous proof of a localization statement of Heller-O’Connor [HO] for eigenfunctions of the stadium. The rele...

Quantum Unique Ergodicity and Number Theory

A fundamental problem in the area of quantum chaos is to understand the distribution of high eigenvalue eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on certain Riemannian manifolds. A particular case which is of interest to number theorists concerns hyperbolic surfacess arising as a quotient of the upper half-plane by a discrete “arithmetic” subgroup of SL2(R) (for example, SL2(Z), and in this case the corr...
