Abstract: The high frequency behaviour for random eigenfunctions of the spherical Laplacian has been recently the object of considerable interest, also because of strong motivations arising from Physics and Cosmology. In this paper, we are concerned with the high frequency behaviour of excursion sets; in particular, we establish a Uniform Central Limit Theorem for the empirical measure, i.e. the proportion of spherical surface where spherical Gaussian eigenfunctions lie below a level z. Our proofs borrows some techniques from the literature on stationary long memory processes; in particular, we expand the empirical measure into Hermite polynomials, and establish a uniform weak reduction principle, entailing that the asymptotic behaviour is asymptotically dominated by a single term in the expansion. As a result, we establish a functional central limit theorem; the limiting process is fully degenerate.
