Bogomolny and Schmit proposed that the critical edge percolation on the square lattice is a good model for the nodal domains of a random plane wave. Based on this they made a conjecture about the number of nodal domains. Recent computer…
We establish numerical lower bounds for the monochromatic connectivity measure in two dimensions introduced by Sarnak and Wigman. This measure dictates among the nodal domains of a random plane wave what proportion have any given number of…
Let N(f) be a number of nodal domains of a random Gaussian spherical harmonic f of degree n. We prove that as n grows to infinity, the mean of N(f)/n^2 tends to a positive constant, and that N(f)/n^2 exponentially concentrates around that…
The purpose of this Note is to provide a deterministic implementation of the random wave model for the number of nodal domains in the context of the two-dimensional torus. The approach is based on recent work due to Nazarov and Sodin and…
This is a manuscript containing the full proofs of results announced in [KW], together with some recent updates. We prove that the Nazarov-Sodin constant, which up to a natural scaling gives the leading order growth for the expected number…
The asymptotic law for the expected nodal volume of random non-Gaussian monochromatic band-limited functions is determined in vast generality. Our methods combine microlocal analytic techniques and modern probability theory. A particularly…
In this note we prove that the asymptotic variance of the nodal length of complex-valued monochromatic random waves restricted to an increasing domain in $\R^3$ is linear in the volume of the domain. Put together with previous results this…
In this paper, we will consider generalised eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on some surfaces of infinite area. We will be interested in lower bounds on the number of nodal domains of such eigenfunctions which are included in a given bounded…
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…
We consider Berry's random planar wave model (1977) for a positive Laplace eigenvalue $E>0$, both in the real and complex case, and prove limit theorems for the nodal statistics associated with a smooth compact domain, in the high-energy…
We study the number of connected components of non-Gaussian random spherical harmonics on the two dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. We prove that the expectation of the nodal domains count is independent of the distribution of the…
We consider the nodal domains of Gaussian random waves in two dimensions. We present a method to calculate the distribution of the number of nodal domains and the average connectivity with the help of auxiliary Potts-spins. An analytical…
Inspired by the recent work [MRW20], we prove that the nodal length of a planar random wave $B_{E}$, i.e. the length of its zero set $B_{E}^{-1}(0)$, is asymptotically equivalent, in the $L^{2}$-sense and in the high-frequency limit…
We consider the real eigenfunctions of the Schr\"odinger operator on graphs, and count their nodal domains. The number of nodal domains fluctuates within an interval whose size equals the number of bonds $B$. For well connected graphs, with…
We study the volume distribution of nodal domains of random band-limited functions on generic manifolds, and find that in the high energy limit a typical instance obeys a deterministic universal law, independent of the manifold. Some of the…
We construct deterministic solutions to the Helmholtz equation in $\mathbb{R}^m$ which behave accordingly to the Random Wave Model. We then find the number of their nodal domains, their nodal volume and the topologies and nesting trees of…
We prove Moderate Deviation estimates for nodal lengths of random spherical harmonics both on the whole sphere and on shrinking spherical domains. Central Limit Theorems for the latter were recently established in Marinucci, Rossi and…
In theories in which the cosmological constant Lambda takes a variety of values in different ``subuniverses,'' the probability distribution of its observed values is conditioned by the requirement that there must be someone to measure it.…
We compute the asymptotic expectation of the number of {\em open} nodal lines for random waves on smooth planar domains. We find that for both the long energy window $[0,\lambda]$ and the short one $[\lambda,\lambda+1]$ the expected number…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the nodal lines for random spherical harmonics restricted to shrinking domains, in the 2-dimensional case: i.e., the length of the zero set $\mathcal{Z}_{\ell,r_\ell} :=…
