Graph eigenfunctions and quantum unique ergodicity (Q990228): Difference between revisions

The authors consider joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and one Hecke operator on compact congruence surfaces as well as joint eigenfunctions of the two partial Laplacians on \(\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{H}\times\mathbb{H}\), where \(\mathbb{H}\) is the upper half plane and \(\Gamma \subseteq SL_2(\mathbb{R})\times SL_2(\mathbb{R})\) a cocompact, irreducible lattice. They show that any weak-* limit of the microlocal lifts of these functions has positive entropy on almost every ergodic component. Then the work by \textit{E. Lindenstrauss} [Ann. Math. (2) 163, No. 1, 165--219 (2006; Zbl 1104.22015)] yields quantum unique ergodicity for these functions.
