Topologies of nodal sets of random band-limited functions (Q6829211)

Let $\{\phi_j\}_{j\ge 0}$ be the eigenbasis of the Laplacian on the $n$-dimensional sphere with associated eigenvalues $\{t_j\}_{j\geq 0}$, and let $\{c_j\}_{j\ge 0}$ be independent one-dimensional standard Gaussian random variables. The paper shows that for random functions of type \[ f_{\alpha,T}:= \sum_{\alpha T\le t_j\le T} c_j \phi_j,\ \ \alpha\in [0,1], T>0, \] the topologies and nestings of the zero and nodal sets have universal laws of distribution.
