Abstract

In this paper, we consider a compact manifold (X,d)(X,d) of negative curvature, and a family of semiclassical Lagrangian states fh(x)=a(x)eihϕ(x)f_h(x) = a(x) e^{\frac{i}{h} \phi(x)} on XX. For a wide family of phases ϕ\phi, we show that fhf_h, when evolved by the semiclassical Schr\"odinger equation during a long time, resembles a random Gaussian field. This can be seen as an analogue of Berry's random waves conjecture for Lagrangian states.
