On the limiting behaviour of arithmetic toral eigenfunctions
Abstract
We consider a wide class of families of Gaussian fields on defined by where the 's are independent std. normals and is the set of solutions to for a fixed elliptic polynomial with integer coefficients. The case is a random Laplace eigenfunction whose law is sometimes called the , studied in the past by many authors. In contrast, we consider three classes of polynomials : a certain family of positive definite quadratic forms in two variables, all positive definite quadratic forms in three variables except multiples of , and a wide family of polynomials in many variables. For these classes of polynomials, we study the -dimensional volume of the zero set of . We compute the asymptotics, as along certain sequences of integers, of the expectation and variance of . Moreover, we prove that in the same limit, converges to a std. normal. As in previous works, one reduces the problem of these asymptotics to the study of certain arithmetic properties of the sets of solutions to . We need to study the number of such solutions for fixed , the number of quadruples of solutions satisfying , (-correlations), and the rate of convergence of the counting measure of towards a certain limiting measure on the hypersurface . To this end, we use prior results on this topic but also prove a new estimate on correlations, of independent interest.
