Abstract

We construct a continuous family of quasimodes for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a translation surface. We apply our result to rational polygonal quantum billiards and thus construct a continuous family of quasimodes for the Neumann Laplacian on such domains with spectral width Oε(λ3/8+ε){\mathcal{O}}_\varepsilon(\lambda^{3/8+\varepsilon}). We show that the semiclassical measures associated with this family of quasimodes project to a finite sum of Dirac measures on momentum space, hence, they satisfy Bogomolny and Schmit's superscar conjecture for rational polygons.
