On quantum limits on flat tori
Dmitry Jakobson
Abstract.
We classify all weak $*$ limits of squares of normalized
eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on two-dimensional flat tori (we
call these limits \it quantum limits}). We also obtain several
results about such limits in dimensions three and higher. Many of
the results are a consequence of a geometric lemma which describes a
property of simplices of codimension one in $\RR^n$ whose vertices
are lattice points on spheres. The lemma follows from the finiteness
of the number of solutions of a system of two Pell equations. A
consequence of the lemma is a generalization of the result of B.
Connes. We also indicate a proof (communicated to us by J. Bourgain)
of the absolute continuity of the quantum limits on a flat torus in
any dimension. We generalize a two-dimensional result of Zygmund to
three dimensions; we discuss various possible generalizations of
that result to higher dimensions and the relation to $L^p$ norms of
the densities of quantum limits and their Fourier series.
