Exact theory for the quantum eigenstates of a strongly chaotic system (Q804333)

Consider the classical system of a point particle free to move on a compact Riemannian surface of constant negative curvature. This system exhibits a strongly chaotic behaviour under suitable circumstances. The authors give an exact description of the corresponding quantum eigenstates of this system. The main result relates suitably smoothed sums over the quantum wave function to a kind of classical orbit length spectrum.
