Rudnick and Wigman (Ann. Henri Poincar\'{e}, 2008; arXiv:math-ph/0702081) conjectured that the variance of the volume of the nodal set of arithmetic random waves on the $d$-dimensional torus is $O(E/\mathcal{N})$, as $E\to\infty$, where $E$…

We develop a statistical description of chaotic wavefunctions in closed systems obeying arbitrary boundary conditions by combining a semiclassical expression for the spatial two-point correlation function with a treatment of eigenfunctions…

We study the scaling asymptotics of the eigenspace projection kernels $\Pi_{\hbar, E}(x,y)$ of the isotropic Harmonic Oscillator $- \hbar ^2 \Delta + |x|^2$ of eigenvalue $E = \hbar(N + \frac{d}{2})$ in the semi-classical limit $\hbar \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…

Courant's theorem implies that the number of nodal domains of a Laplace eigenfunction is controlled by the corresponding eigenvalue. Over the years, there have been various attempts to find an appropriate generalization of this statement in…

We consider random Gaussian eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the standard torus, and investigate the number of nodal intersections against a line segment. The expected intersection number, against any smooth curve, is universally…

The tangled nodal lines (wave vortices) in random, three-dimensional wavefields are studied as an exemplar of a fractal loop soup. Their statistics are a three-dimensional counterpart to the characteristic random behaviour of nodal domains…
