Abstract

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 the expected limit distribution of the real zero set of a is uniform with respect to the volume form of a compact Riemannian manifold (M,g)(M, g). We then show that the complex zero set of the analytic continuations of such Riemannian random waves to a Grauert tube in the complexification of MM tends to a limit current.
