Quantum variance on quaternion algebras, II

Number Theory 2017-02-10 v1

Abstract

A method for determining quantum variance asymptotics on compact quotients attached to non-split quaternion algebras is developed in general and applied to "microlocal lifts" in the non-archimedean setting. The results obtained are in the spirit of recent work of Sarnak--Zhao. The arguments involve a careful analytic study of the theta correspondence, the interplay between additive and multiplicative harmonic analysis on quaternion algebras, the equidistribution of translates of elementary theta functions, and the Rallis inner product formula.
