Quantum variance of Maass-Hecke cusp forms (Q982458)

This article is an asymptotical study of the quantum variance which has been introduced by Zelditch to describe the fluctuations of quantum observables. Its main result is a generalization to Maass cusp forms of results previously obtained by Luo and Sarnak on quantum variance for Hecke eigenforms. The proof of the theorem is based on the properties of a non-negative Hermitian form \(B\) which characterizes the considered system, and the result is obtained by a combination of Watson's formula, Rankin-Selberg theory and the Kuznetsov formula.
