Abstract

Let Mτ0M_{\tau_0} be the Grauert tube (of some fixed radius τ0\tau_0) of a compact, negatively curved, real analytic Riemannian manifold MM without boundary. Let ϕλ\phi_\lambda be a Laplacian eigenfunction on MM of eigenvalues λ2-\lambda^2 and let ϕλC\phi_\lambda^\mathbb{C} be its holomorphic extension to Mτ0M_{\tau_0}. In this article, we prove that on Mτ0MM_{\tau_0} \setminus M, there exists a dimensional constant α>0\alpha > 0 and a full density subsequence {λjk}k=1 \{\lambda_{j_k}\}_{k=1}^{\infty} of the spectrum for which the masses of the complexified eigenfunctions ϕλjkC\phi_{\lambda_{j_k}}^\mathbb{C} are asymptotically equidistributed at length scale (logλjk)α(\log \lambda_{j_k})^{-\alpha}. Moreover, the complex zeros of ϕλjkC\phi_{\lambda_{j_k}}^\mathbb{C} also become equidistributed on this logarithmic length scale.
