Inspired by the recent work [MRT21], we prove a non-universal non-central Moderate Deviation principle for the nodal length of arithmetic random waves (Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the standard flat torus) both on the whole manifold…

Let $M$ be a compact, connected Riemannian manifold whose Riemannian volume measure is denoted by $\sigma$. Let $f: M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a non-constant eigenfunction of the Laplacian. The random wave conjecture suggests that in…

We study the length of the nodal set of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the $\spheredim$-dimensional sphere. It is well known that the eigenspaces corresponding to $\eigval=n(n+\spheredim-1)$ are the spaces $\eigspc$ of spherical…

We study monochromatic random waves on $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by Gaussian variables whose variances tend to zero sufficiently fast. This has the effect that the Fourier transform of the monochromatic wave is an absolutely continuous measure…

An eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a metric (quantum) graph has an excess number of zeros due to the graph's non-trivial topology. This number, called the nodal surplus, is an integer between 0 and the graph's first Betti number $\beta$.…
