Entropy bounds and quantum unique ergodicity for Hecke eigenfunctions on division algebras

Number Theory 2016-06-08 v1

Abstract

We prove the arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity (AQUE) conjecture for non-degenerate sequences of Hecke eigenfunctions on quotients Γ\G/K\Gamma \backslash G/K, where GPGLd(R)G\simeq\mathrm{PGL}_{d}(\mathbb{R}), KK is a maximal compact subgroup of GG and Γ<G\Gamma<G is a lattice associated to a division algebra over Q\mathbb{Q} of prime degree dd. More generally, we introduce a new method of proving positive entropy of quantum limits, which applies to higher-rank groups. The result on AQUE is obtained by combining this with a measure-rigidity theorem due to Einsiedler-Katok, following a strategy first pioneered by Lindenstrauss
