Graph eigenfunctions and quantum unique ergodicity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We apply the techniques of our previous paper to study joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and one Hecke operator on compact congruence surfaces, and joint eigenfunctions of the two partial Laplacians on compact quotients of mathbbHimesmathbbH. In both cases, we show that quantum limit measures of such sequences of eigenfunctions carry positive entropy on almost every ergodic component. Together with prior work of the second named author, this implies Quantum Unique Ergodicity for such functions.


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.
