Abstract: A generic chaotic eigenfunction has a non-universal contribution consisting of scars of short periodic orbits. This contribution, which can not be explained in terms of random universal waves, survives the semiclassical limit (when $hbar$ goes to zero). In this limit, the sum of scarred intensities is a simple function of $etaequivsqrtpi/2(f-1)h_T^{-1}(sumlambd{a}_i^2{)}^{1/2}$, with $f$ the degrees of freedom, $h_T$ the topological entropy and $lambd{a}_i$ the set of positive Lyapunov exponents. Moreover, the fluctuations of this representation go to zero as $1/|lnhbar|$. For this reasson, we will be able to provide a detailed description of a generic chaotic eigenfunction in the semiclassical limit.
