Abstract
Given an elliptic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator bounded from below, acting on the sections of a Riemannian line bundle over a smooth closed manifold equipped with some Lebesgue measure, we estimate from above, as grows to infinity, the Betti numbers of the vanishing locus of a random section taken in the direct sum of the eigenspaces of with eigenvalues below . These upper estimates follow from some equidistribution of the critical points of the restriction of a fixed Morse function to this vanishing locus. We then consider the examples of the Laplace-Beltrami and the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators associated to some Riemannian metric on .
