Abstract

On a compact Riemannian manifold MM of dimension nn, we consider nn eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator Δ\Delta with eigenvalue λ\lambda. If MM is homogeneous under a compact Lie group preserving the metric then we prove that the average number of common zeros of nn eigenfunctions does not exceed c(n)λn/2volMc(n)\lambda^{n/2}{\rm vol}\,M, the expression known from the celebrated Weyl's law. Moreover, if the isotropy representation is irreducible, then the estimate turns into equality. The constant c(n)c(n) is explicitly given. The method of proof is based on the application of Crofton's formula for the sphere.
