Abstract: We prove a Pleijel-type theorem for the asymptotic behaviour of the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of the quantum harmonic oscillator in any dimension.


The paper is concerned with the quantum harmonic oscillator \(H\) defined on \(S(\mathbb{R}^n)\) by \[ H(f)=-\Delta f+V(x)f,\leqno(1) \] where \(V\) is a positive-definite quadratic form and \(S(\mathbb{R}^n)\) is the Schwartz space of rapidly decaying functions over \(\mathbb{R}^n\), and extended over \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)\). By using a theorem of Milnor and the Faber-Krahn's inequality, the author gives an upper bound on the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of operator (1), and a lower bound on the area of each nodal domain.
