Abstract

On a closed hyperbolic surface, we investigate semiclassical defect measures associated with the magnetic Laplacian in the presence of a constant magnetic field. Depending on the energy level where the eigenfunctions concentrate, three distinct dynamical regimes emerge. In the low-energy regime, we show that any invariant measure of the magnetic flow in phase space can be obtained as a semiclassical measure. At the critical energy level, we establish Quantum Unique Ergodicity, together with a quantitative rate of convergence of eigenfunctions to the Liouville measure. In the high-energy regime, we prove a Shnirelman-type result: a density-one subsequence of eigenfunctions becomes equidistributed with respect to the Liouville measure.
