In the present survey we present some of the recent results concerning the geometry of nodal lines of random Gaussian eigenfunctions (in case of spectral degeneracies) or wavepackets and related issues. The most fundamental example, where…

We consider Riemannian random waves, i.e. Gaussian random linear combination of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold with frequencies from a short interval (`asymptotically fixed frequency'). We first show that…

We consider the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator $\Delta $ on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$. For $M$ homogeneous with irreducible isotropy representation and for a fixed eigenvalue of $\Delta $ we find the average…

This is a survey on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds (mainly compact and without boundary). We discuss both local results obtained by analyzing eigenfunctions on small balls, and global results obtained by wave…

Let $A$ be a compact $d$-dimensional $C^2$ Riemannian manifold with boundary, embedded in ${\bf R}^m$ where $m \geq d \geq 2$, and let $B$ be a nice subset of $A$ (possibly $B=A$). Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points…

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…
