The Quantum Unique Ergodicity (QUE) conjecture of Rudnick-Sarnak is that every eigenfunction phi_n of the Laplacian on a manifold with uniformly-hyperbolic geodesic flow becomes equidistributed in the semiclassical limit (eigenvalue E_n ->…

We prove quantum ergodicity for the eigenfunctions of the pseudo-Laplacian on Riemannian surfaces with finitely many hyperbolic cusps and ergodic geodesic flow.

We prove a generalized version of the Quantum Ergodicity Theorem on smooth compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary. We apply it to prove some asymptotic properties on the distribution of typical eigenfunctions of the Laplacian in…

The quasi-redirecting (QR) boundary is a close generalization of the Gromov boundary to all finitely generated groups. In this paper, we establish that the QR boundary exists as a topological space for several well-studied classes of…

For general quantum systems the semiclassical behaviour of eigenfunctions in relation to the ergodic properties of the underlying classical system is quite difficult to understand. The Wignerfunctions of eigenstates converge weakly to…

The rate of quantum ergodicity is studied for three strongly chaotic (Anosov) systems. The quantal eigenfunctions on a compact Riemannian surface of genus g=2 and of two triangular billiards on a surface of constant negative curvature are…

A lower bound is placed on the fermionic determinant of Euclidean quantum electrodynamics in three dimensions in the presence of a smooth, finite--flux, static, unidirectional magnetic field $\mathbf{B}(\mathbf{r})=(0,0,B(\mathbf{r}))$,…

We prove a quantum-ergodicity theorem on large graphs, for eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators in a very general setting. We consider a sequence of finite graphs endowed with discrete Schr\"odinger operators, assumed to have a local…

By analytical mapping of the eigenvalue problem in rough billiards on to a band random matrix model a new regime of Wigner ergodicity is found. There the eigenstates are extended over the whole energy surface but have a strongly peaked…

In this paper we prove two results. The first shows that the Dirichlet-Neumann map of the operator $\Delta_g+q$ on a Riemannian surface can determine its topological, differential, and metric structure. Earlier work of this type assumes a…

We work toward the arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity (AQUE) conjecture for sequences of Hecke--Maass forms on hyperbolic $4$-manifolds. We show that limits of such forms can only scar on totally geodesic $3$-submanifolds, and in fact…

This undergraduate thesis is concerned with developing the tools of differential geometry and semiclassical analysis needed to understand the the quantum ergodicity theorem of Schnirelman (1974), Zelditch (1987), and Colin de Verdi\`ere…

We investigate the equidistribution of the eigenfunctions on quantum graphs in the high-energy limit. Our main result is an estimate of the deviations from equidistribution for large well-connected graphs. We use an exact field-theoretic…

The problem of obtaining the lower bounds on the restriction of Laplacian eigenfunctions to hypersurfaces inside a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is challenging and has been attempted by many authors \cite{BR, GRS, Jun, ET}. This paper…

In contrast to elliptic surfaces, the Fourier restriction problem for hypersurfaces of non-vanishing Gaussian curvature which admit principal curvatures of opposite signs is still hardly understood. In fact, even for 2-surfaces, the only…

In quantum theory on curved backgrounds, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is usually discussed in terms of ensemble variances and flat-space commutators. Here we take a different, preparation-based viewpoint tailored to sharp position…

We will extend the Fourier restriction inequality for quadratic hypersurfaces obtained by Strichartz. We will consider the case where the hypersurface is a graph of a certain real polynomial which is a sum of one-dimensional monomials. It…

We study the semiclassical behaviour of eigenfunctions of quantum systems with ergodic classical limit. By the quantum ergodicity theorem almost all of these eigenfunctions become equidistributed in a weak sense. We give a simple derivation…

Based on empirical evidence, quantum systems appear to be strictly linear and gauge invariant. This work uses concise mathematics to show that quantum eigenvalue equations on a one dimensional ring can either be gauge invariant or have a…

We prove Fourier restriction estimates by means of the polynomial partitioning method for compact subsets of any sufficiently smooth hyperbolic hypersurface in threedimensional euclidean space. Our approach exploits in a crucial way the…
