Abstract
We study a variant of the equidistribution of mass conjecture on the sphere posed by B\"ocherer, Sarnak, and Schulze-Pillot: quantum unique ergodicity in shrinking sets. Conditionally on the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis, we show that quantum unique ergodicity holds on every shrinking spherical cap whose radius is considerably larger than the Planck scale, and that it holds on almost every shrinking spherical cap whose radius is larger than the Planck scale. Additionally, conditionally on GLH, we provide explicit upper bounds for the -Wasserstein distance and the spherical cap discrepancy between the involved measures.
