We study the number of nodal components (connected components of the set of zeroes) of functions in the ensemble of arithmetic random waves, that is, random eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the flat $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^{d}$…
The short- and long-scale behaviour of tangled wave vortices (nodal lines) in random three-dimensional wave fields is studied via computer experiment. The zero lines are tracked in numerical simulations of periodic superpositions of…
We consider the ensemble of random Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on $\mathbb{T}^3=\mathbb{R}^3/\mathbb{Z}^3$ (`$3d$ arithmetic random waves'), and study the distribution of their nodal surface area. The expected area is proportional to…
Inspired by the study of edge statistics of random band matrices, we investigate random walks on large $d$-dimensional periodic lattices, whose transition matrices are determined by discretized density functions. Under certain moment…
We study the intersection points of a fixed planar curve $\Gamma$ with the nodal set of a translationally invariant and isotropic Gaussian random field $\Psi(\bi{r})$ and the zeros of its normal derivative across the curve. The intersection…
We study Turing bifurcations on one-dimensional random ring networks where the probability of a connection between two nodes depends on the distance between the two nodes. Our approach uses the theory of graphons to approximate the graph…

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…
Graph-limit theory focuses on the convergence of sequences of graphs when the number of nodes becomes arbitrarily large. This framework defines a continuous version of graphs allowing for the study of dynamical systems on very large graphs,…
These are lecture notes for the Current Developments in Mathematics conference at Harvard, November, 2011. We discuss topological, probabilistic and combinatorial aspects of the Laplacian on a graph embedded on a surface. The three main…
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 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 examine the general question of statistical changes experienced by ensembles of nonlinear random waves propagating in systems ruled by integrable equations. In our study that enters within the framework of integrable turbulence, we…
We study the almost periods of the eigenmodes of flat planar manifolds in the high energy limit. We prove in particular that the Gaussian Arithmetic Random Waves replicate almost identically at a scale at most ${\ell}$n := n -- 1 2 exp…
We consider real eigen-functions of the Schr\"odinger operator in 2-d. The nodal lines of separable systems form a regular grid, and the number of nodal crossings equals the number of nodal domains. In contrast, for wave functions of non…
The geometry of Arithmetic Random Waves has been extensively investigated in the last fifteen years, starting from the seminal papers [RW08, ORW08]. In this paper we study the correlation structure among different functionals such as nodal…
Let a simple random walk run inside a torus of dimension three or higher for a number of steps which is a constant proportion of the volume. We examine geometric properties of the range, the random subgraph induced by the set of vertices…
We consider scale-free percolation on a discrete torus $\mathbf{V}_N$ of size $N$. Conditionally on an i.i.d. sequence of Pareto weights $(W_i)_{i\in \mathbf{V}_N}$ with tail exponent $\tau-1>0$, we connect any two points $i$ and $j$ on the…
We test M. Berry's ansatz on nodal deficiency in presence of boundary. The square billiard is studied, where the high spectral degeneracies allow for the introduction of a Gaussian ensemble of random Laplace eigenfunctions…
We study intermediate-scale statistics for the fractional parts of the sequence $(\alpha a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$, where $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a positive, real-valued lacunary sequence, and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. In particular, we consider…
