We establish a general criterion for the positivity of the variance of a chaotic component of local functionals of stationary vector-valued Gaussian fields. This criterion is formulated in terms of the spectral properties of the covariance…

We consider Gaussian random waves on hyperbolic spaces and establish variance asymptotics and central limit theorems for a large class of their integral functionals, both in the high-frequency and large domain limits. Our strategy of proof…

It has been suggested that the distribution of the suitably normalized number of zeros of Laplacian eigenfunctions contains information about the geometry of the underlying domain. We study this distribution (more precisely, the…

Spectral quasi correlations are small sums of lattice points lying on the same circle; we show that, for generic integers representable as the sum of two squares, there are no spectral quasi-correlations. Moreover, we apply our result to…

We discuss the statistical properties of the volume of the nodal set of wave function for two paradigmatic model systems which we consider in arbitrary dimension $s\ge 2$: the cuboid as a paradigm for a regular shape with separable wave…

A celebrated result of Legendre and Gauss determines which integers can be represented as a sum of three squares, and for those it is typically the case that there are many ways of doing so. These different representations give collections…

Hardy conjectured that the error term arising from approximating the number of lattice points lying in a radius-$R$ disc by its area is $O(R^{1/2+o(1)})$. One source of support for this conjecture is a folklore heuristic that uses i.i.d.…
