      The authors generalize in several ways the theory of scarring of eigenfunctions of classically chaotic systems by short periodic orbits. The contribution of nonlinear recurrences associated with homoclinic orbits to scarring is included and different scenarios of random and nonrandom long-time recurrences are considered. The importance of the local classical structure around the periodic orbit is emphasized. The crucial role of symmetry is also discussed. Quantitive measures of scarring are provided and comparisons are made with numerical data.
