Abstract

We prove a quantum ergodic restriction theorem for the Cauchy data of a sequence of quantum ergodic eigenfunctions on a hypersurface HH of a Riemannian manifold (M,g)(M, g). The technique of proof is to use a Rellich type identity to relate quantum ergodicity of Cauchy data on HH to quantum ergodicity of eigenfunctions on the global manifold MM. This has the interesting consequence that if the eigenfunctions are quantum unique ergodic on the global manifold MM, then the Cauchy data is automatically quantum unique ergodic on HH with respect to operators whose symbols vanish to order one on the glancing set of unit tangential directions to HH.
