The paper reviews some results of the authors, achieved within the DFG Schwerpunktprogramm Ergodentheorie, Analysis und effiziente Simulation dynamischer Systeme (1994-2000). The general topic of the research is the search for universal statistical properties of energy spectra and eigenfunctions of quantum mechanical systems whose classical dynamics is chaotic. The mode-fluctuation distribution \(P(W)\) was proposed as a universal signature of quantum chaos and a conjecture on its limit distribution was put forward. The conjecture is mathematically equivalent to a hypothesis on the value distribution of dynamical zeta functions on the critical line and was successfully tested for several chaotic systems; the results of simulations are presented. For certain systems this can be expressed in terms of the Selberg zeta function (see \textit{A. Selberg} [Arch. Math. Naturvid. 48, 89-155 (1946; Zbl 0061.08402) and Collected Papers, Vol. II, Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg (1991; Zbl 0729.11001)]). For a large class of ergodic systems the quantum ergodicity theorem holds, which states that almost all eigenfunctions become equidistributed in the semiclassical limit. Particular attention was paid to the question of subsequences of exceptional, non-quantum ergodic eigenfunctions, and their counting function. Such eigenfunctions are for example bouncing-ball modes occurring in billiards with two parallel walls (like the stadium or the Sinai billiard). Also scarred eigenfunctions showing localization along unstable periodic orbits could give rise to a non-quantum ergodic subsequence of eigenfunctions. Furthermore, the rate by which the classical limit is approached was studied. The paper is written clearly and is well illustrated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0968.00013].
