Abstract
If is a compact Riemannian surface then the integrals of -normalized eigenfunctions over geodesic segments of fixed length are uniformly bounded. Also, if has negative curvature and is a geodesic parameterized by arc length, the measures on tend to zero in the sense of distributions as the eigenvalue , and so integrals of eigenfunctions over periodic geodesics tend to zero as . The assumption of negative curvature is necessary for the latter result.
