Abstract

Bourgain used the Rudin-Shapiro sequences to construct a basis of uniformly bounded holomorphic functions on the unit sphere in C2\mathbb{C}^2. They are also spherical harmonics (i.e., Laplacian eigenfunctions) on S3R4\mathbb{S}^3 \subset \mathbb{R}^4. In this paper, we prove that these functions tend to be equidistributed on S3\mathbb{S}^3, based on an estimate of the auto-correlation of the Rudin-Shapiro sequences. Moreover, we identify the semiclassical measure associated to these spherical harmonics by the singular measure supported on the family of Clifford tori in S3\mathbb{S}^3. In particular, this demonstrates a new localization pattern in the study of Laplacian eigenfunctions.
