Small Scale Equidistribution of Eigenfunctions on the Torus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the small scale distribution of the L2 mass of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the flat torus Td . Given an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions, we show the existence of a density one subsequencewhose L2 mass equidistributes at small scales. In dimension two our result holds all the way down to the Planck scale. For dimensions d = 3, 4 we can restrict to individual eigenspaces and show small scale equidistribution in that context. We also study irregularities of quantum equidistribution: We construct eigenfunctions whose L2 mass does not equidistribute at all scales above the Planck scale. Additionally, in dimension d = 4 we show the existence of eigenfunctions for which the proportion of L2 mass in small balls blows up at certain scales.

Fe b 20 06 Chaotic eigenfunctions in phase space
We study individual eigenstates of quantized area-preserving maps on the 2-torus which are classically chaotic. In order to analyze their semiclassical behavior, we use the Bargmann–Husimi representations for quantum states, as well as their stellar parametrization, which encodes states through a minimal set of points in phase space (the constellation of zeros of the Husimi density). We rigorou...

متن کاملWeyl’s Law and Quantum Ergodicity for Maps with Divided Phase Space
For a general class of unitary quantum maps, whose underlying classical phase space is divided into ergodic and non-ergodic components, we prove analogues of Weyl’s law for the distribution of eigenphases, and the Schnirelman-Zelditch-Colin de Verdière Theorem on the equidistribution of eigenfunctions with respect to the ergodic components of the classical map (quantum ergodicity). We apply our...
متن کاملHecke Theory and Equidistribution for the Quantization of Linear Maps of the Torus
We study semi-classical limits of eigenfunctions of a quantized linear hyperbolic automorphism of the torus (“cat map”). For some values of Planck’s constant, the spectrum of the quantized map has large degeneracies. Our first goal in this paper is to show that these degeneracies are coupled to the existence of quantum symmetries. There is a commutative group of unitary operators on the state-s...
متن کاملEffective Equidistribution and Spectral Gap
Abstract. In these notes we discuss some equidistribution problems with the aim to give reasonable error rates, i.e. we are interested in effective statements. We motivate some arguments by studying a concrete problem on a two-torus, and then describe recent results on the equidistribution of semisimple orbits obtained in joint work with G. Margulis and A. Venkatesh. We end by studying the rela...
