The Random Wave Conjecture of M. V. Berry is the heuristic that eigenfunctions of a classically chaotic system should behave like Gaussian random fields, in the large eigenvalue limit. In this work we collect some definitions and properties…

We present a quantum ergodicity theorem for fixed spectral window and sequences of compact hyperbolic surfaces converging to the hyperbolic plane in the sense of Benjamini and Schramm. This addresses a question posed by Colin de…

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of convergence for the Laplace eigenfunctions in the semiclassical limit, the local weak convergence. This allows us to give a rigorous statement of Berry's random wave conjecture. Using recent…

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…

We consider Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the two-dimensional flat torus (arithmetic random waves), and provide explicit Berry-Esseen bounds in the 1-Wasserstein distance for the normal and non-normal high-energy approximation of the…

We consider the Riemannian random wave model of Gaussian linear combinations of Laplace eigenfunctions on a general compact Riemannian manifold. With probability one with respect to the Gaussian coefficients, we establish that, both for…

In this survey we collect some of the recent results on the "nodal geometry" of random eigenfunctions on Riemannian surfaces. We focus on the asymptotic behavior, for high energy levels, of the nodal length of Gaussian Laplace…

We present a semiclassical approach to eigenfunction statistics in chaotic and weakly disordered quantum systems which goes beyond Random Matrix Theory, supersymmetry techniques, and existing semiclassical methods. The approach is based on…

We study the growth of Laplacian eigenfunctions $ -\Delta \phi_k = \lambda_k \phi_k$ on compact manifolds $(M,g)$. H\"ormander proved sharp polynomial bounds on $\| \phi_k\|_{L^{\infty}}$ which are attained on the sphere. On a `generic'…

It is shown that eigenvalues of Laplace-Beltrami operators on compact Riemannian manifolds can be determined as limits of eigenvalues of certain finite-dimensional operators in spaces of polyharmonic functions with singularities. In…

We study chaotic eigenfunctions in wedge-shaped and rectangular regions using a generalization of Berry's conjecture. An expression for the two-point correlation function is derived and verified numerically.

A compact Riemannian manifold may be immersed into Euclidean space by using high frequency Laplace eigenfunctions. We study the geometry of the manifold viewed as a metric space endowed with the distance function from the ambient Euclidean…

We prove that for almost all symmetric spaces $X$ and for any sequence of compact locally symmetric spaces $Y_n$ which is uniformly discrete, has a uniform spectral gap, and converges in the sense of Benjamini--Schramm to $X$, the joint…

We consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and a metric that is singular at the boundary. The associated Laplace-Beltrami operator is of the form of a Grushin operator plus a singular potential. In a supercritical parameter…

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…

In this paper, we establish sharp inequalities for four kinds of classical eigenvalues on a bounded domain of a Riemannian manifold. We also establish asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of the buckling and clamped plate problems. In…
