Abstract: Partially rectangular domains are compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds X, either closed or with boundary, that contain a flat rectangle or cylinder. In this paper we are interested in partially rectangular domains with ergodic billiard flow; examples are the Bunimovich stadium, the Sinai billiard or Donnelly surfaces. We consider a one-parameter family Xt of such domains parametrized by the aspect ratio t of their rectangular part. There is convincing theoretical and numerical evidence that the Laplacian on Xt with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions is not quantum unique ergodic (QUE). We prove that this is true for all tin[1,2] excluding, possibly, a set of Lebesgue measure zero. This yields the first examples of ergodic billiard systems proven to be non-QUE.
