Expected values of eigenfunction periods
Abstract
Let be a compact Riemannian surface. Consider a family of normalized Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions, written in the semiclassical form , whose eigenvalues satisfy for a large enough constant. Let be a uniform probability measure on the unit-sphere of this cluster of eigenfunctions and take . Given a closed curve , there exists and such that for all \begin{equation*} C_1 h^{1/2} \leq \mathbf{E}_{h} \bigg[ \big| \int_{\gamma} u \, d \sigma \big| \bigg] \leq C_2 h^{1/2} . \end{equation*} This result contrasts the deterministic upperbounds obtained by Chen-Sogge \cite{CS}, Reznikov \cite{Rez}, and Zelditch \cite{Zel}. Furthermore, we treat the higher dimensional cases and compute large deviation estimates. Under a measure zero assumption on the periodic geodesics in , we can consider windows of small width and establish a estimate. Lastly, we treat probabilistic restriction bounds along curves.
