Random hyperspherical harmonics are Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the unit $d$-sphere ($d\ge 2$). We investigate the distribution of their defect i.e., the difference between the measure of positive and negative regions. Marinucci and…
This work aims to study the dislocation or nodal lines of 3D Berry's random wave model. Their expected length is computed both in the isotropic and anisotropic cases, being them compared. Afterwards, in the isotropic case the asymptotic…
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…
In this paper, we investigate the variance of the nodal length for band-limited spherical random waves. When the frequency window includes a number of eigenfunctions that grows linearly, the variance of the nodal length is linear with…

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} :=…
We consider a random Gaussian ensemble of Laplace eigenfunctions on the 3D torus, and investigate the 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure (`length') of nodal intersections against a smooth 2-dimensional toral sub-manifold (`surface'). The…
We investigate the fluctuations of the nodal number (count of the phase singularities) in a natural extension of the well-known complex planar Berry Random Wave Model - Berry (2002) - obtained by considering two independent real Berry…
We study the asymptotic laws for the number, Betti numbers, and isotopy classes of connected components of zero sets of real Gaussian random fields, where the random zero sets almost surely consist of submanifolds of codimension greater…
According to Berry a wave-chaotic state may be viewed as a superposition of monochromatic plane waves with random phases and amplitudes. Here we consider the distribution of nodal points associated with this state. Using the property that…
Random hyperspherical harmonics are Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the unit $d$-dimensional sphere ($d\ge 2$). We study the convergence in Total Variation distance for their nonlinear statistics in the high energy limit, i.e., for…
The study of random Fourier series, linear combinations of trigonometric functions whose coefficients are independent (in our case Gaussian) random variables with polynomially bounded means and standard deviations, dates back to Norbert…
A lot of attention has been drawn over the last few years by the investigation of the geometry of spherical random eigenfunctions (random spherical harmonics) in the high frequency regime, i.e ., for diverging eigenvalues. In this paper, we…
We present an improved version of Berry's ansatz able to incorporate exactly the existence of boundaries and the correct normalization of the eigenfunction into an ensemble of random waves. We then reformulate the Random Wave conjecture…
