Quantum ergodicity of boundary values of eigenfunctions (Q1885608)

Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded, piecewise smooth domain in \({R}^n\). Assume that the classical billiard map on the ball bundle \(B^*(\partial\Omega)\) is ergodic. Impose Dirichlet, Neumann, Robin boundary conditions, or \(\Psi^1\) Robin boundary conditions. The authors show that the boundary values (Cauchy data) of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on \(\Omega\) are quantum ergodic. The paper is organized into sections: 1) Introduction, 2) Quantum ergodicity of endomorphisms, 3) Piecewise smooth manifolds, 4) Structure of the operators \(E_h\) and \(F_h\), 5) Local Weyl law, 6) Egorov theorem, 7) Proof of main theorem - Neumann boundary conditions, 8) Robin boundary conditions, 9) Dirichlet boundary conditions, 10) \(\Psi^1\)-Robin boundary conditions, 11) non-convex domains, 12) Appendix - heat kernel.
