Abstract
We investigate eigenfunctions of the Laplacian perturbed by a delta potential on the standard tori in dimensions . Despite quantum ergodicity holding for the set of "new" eigenfunctions we show that there is scarring in the momentum representation for , as well as in the position representation for (i.e., the eigenfunctions fail to equidistribute in phase space along an infinite subsequence of new eigenvalues.) For , scarred eigenstates are quite rare, but for scarring in the momentum representation is very common --- with denoting the counting function for the new eigenvalues below , there are eigenvalues corresponding to momentum scarred eigenfunctions.
