Nodal length fluctuations for arithmetic random waves (Q1947642)

The authors study the asymptotics of the variance of the nodal length of arithmetic random waves on the two dimensional torus \(\mathbb{T}\) (an arithmetic random wave is a random Gaussian field of real valued eigenfunctions \(f_{n}: \mathbb{T} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) corresponding to an eigenvalue of the Laplacian and its nodal length is defined as the length of \(f_{n}^{-1}(0)\)). The asymptotics are expressed in terms of the eigenvalue, of the dimension of the eigenspace, and of a constant related to a probability measure defined on the Laplace eigenspace. From the proved formulas one can deduce that the asymptotics of the variance are nonuniversal.
