Abstract: We study horocycle eigenfunctions at Lobachevsky plane. These are functions $ucolonmathbbH=mathbb{C}^{+}=zinmathbbCcolonImz>0omathbbC$ such that $left(-y^{2}left(fracpartia{l}^{2}partial{x}^2+fracpartia{l}^{2}partial{y}^{2}ight)+2iauyfracpartialpartialxight)u(x+iy)=s^{2}u(x+iy)$, $x+iyinmathbb{C}^{+}$, with $au,sinmathbbR$, $au$ large and $s/au$ small. In other words, we study eigenfunctions of emph{magnetic} quantum Hamiltonian on hyperbolic plane. By semiclassical correspondence principle, asymptotic behavior of such functions is related to horocycle flow on $TmathbbH$. If a sequence of horocycle functions possesses microlocal quantum unique ergodicity at the admissible energy level (with $hbar=1/au$) then we may find asymptotic distribution of divisor of $u$ analytically continued to the complexified Lobachevsky plane $mathbb{H}^{m}athbbC$. This is done by establishing the asymptotic estimates on $|u|$ in $mathbb{H}^{m}athbbC$. The growth of functions $u$ as $auoinfty$ turns to be governed by the growth of complexified emph{gauge factor} occurring in $au$-automorphic kernels for functions on $mathbbH$.
