Abstract

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 R3\R^3 is linear in the volume of the domain. Put together with previous results this shows that a Central Limit Theorem holds true for 33-dimensional monochromatic random waves. We compare with the variance of the nodal length of the real-valued 22-dimensional monochromatic random waves where a faster divergence rate is observed, this fact is connected with Berry's cancellation phenomenon. Moreover, we show that a concentration phenomenon takes place.
