Non-universality of the Nazarov-Sodin constant

Mathematical Physics 2017-07-11 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We prove that the Nazarov-Sodin constant, which up to a natural scaling gives the leading order growth for the expected number of nodal components of a random Gaussian field, genuinely depends on the field. We then infer the same for "arithmetic random waves", i.e. random toral Laplace eigenfunctions.
