Given a Laplace eigenfunction on a surface, we study the distribution of its extrema on the nodal domains. It is classically known that the absolute value of the eigenfunction is asymptotically bounded by the 4-th root of the eigenvalue. It…
We investigate eigenfunctions of the Laplacian perturbed by a delta potential on the standard tori $\mathbb{R}^d/2 \pi\mathbb{Z}^d$ in dimensions $d=2,3$. Despite quantum ergodicity holding for the set of "new" eigenfunctions we show that…
We consider rational points on the sphere and investigate their equidistribution in shrinking spherical caps. For the two-dimensional sphere, we leverage Hecke operators to obtain a significantly improved small-scale equidistribution bound,…
Given an arbitrary $1$-Lipschitz function $f$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n $, we find a $k$-dimensional subtorus $M \subseteq \mathbb{T}^n$, parallel to the axes, such that the restriction of $f$ to the subtorus $M$ is nearly a constant…
In this paper we consider eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a planar domain with polygonal boundary with Dirichlet, Neumann, or mixed boundary conditions. The main result is a quantitative estimate on the $L^2$ mass of eigenfunctions near…
For certain families of finite quantum graphs, we study the question of how eigenfunctions are distributed over the graph. To characterize properties of the distribution, generalized entropies of the R\'{e}nyi and Tsallis types are…

We study the fluctuations of smooth linear statistics of Laplace eigenvalues of compact hyperbolic surfaces lying in short energy windows, when averaged over the moduli space of surfaces of a given genus. The average is taken with respect…

We consider Laplacian eigenfunctions in circular, spherical and elliptical domains in order to discuss three kinds of high-frequency localization: whispering gallery modes, bouncing ball modes, and focusing modes. Although the existence of…
In this paper, we determine, in the case of the Laplacian on the flat three-dimensional torus $(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^3$, all the eigenvalues having an eigenfunction which satisfies the Courant nodal domains theorem with equality…
We prove results towards the equidistribution of certain families of periodic torus orbits on homogeneous spaces, with particular focus on the case of the diagonal torus acting on quotients of $\PGL_n(\R)$. After attaching to each periodic…
We study the fine distribution of lattice points lying on expanding circles in the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}$. The angles of lattice points arising from the orbit of the modular group $PSL_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$, and lying on hyperbolic…
In the context of Large Extra Dimensions the fundamental Planck scale can be as low as the TeV scale. If this is the way of nature, quantum gravity effects could be visible at the LHC or other High energy colliders. A model independent…

We give an overview of the interplay between the behavior of high energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold and the dynamical properties of the geodesic flow on that manifold. This includes the Quantum…
The first explicit realization of the conjecture that phason dynamics leads to self-diffusion in quasicrystals is presented for the icosahedral Ammann tilings. On short time scales, the transport is found to be subdiffusive with the…
We study the small eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian on collaping torus bundles with bounded curvature. In the first part of this dissertation, we consider examples of bundles on S^1 and T^2 with homogeneous structure. In the second part,…
It is well known that the standard flat torus $\mathbb{T}^2=\mathbb{R}^2/\Z^2$ has arbitrarily large Laplacian-eigenvalue multiplicities. We prove, however, that $24$ is the optimal upper bound for the multiplicities of the nonzero…
The standard one-parameter scaling theory predicts that all eigenstates in two-dimensional random lattices are weakly localized. We show that this claim fails in two-dimensional dipolar Frenkel exciton systems. The linear energy dispersion…
