Abstract
We study the small scale distribution of the L2 mass of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the flat torus Td. Given an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions, we show the existence of a density one subsequence whose L2 mass equidistributes at small scales. In dimension two our result holds all the way down to the Planck scale. For dimensions d = 3, 4 we can restrict to individual eigenspaces and show small scale equidistribution in that context. We also study irregularities of quantum equidistribution: We construct eigenfunctions whose L2 mass does not equidistribute at all scales above the Planck scale. Additionally, in dimension d = 4 we show the existence of eigenfunctions for which the proportion of L2 mass in small balls blows up at certain scales.
