This allows us to give a rigorous statement of Berry's random wave conjecture. Using recent results of Bourgain, Buckley and Wigman, we will prove that some deterministic families of eigenfunctions on $\\mathbb{T}^2$ satisfy the conclusions of the random wave conjecture. We also show that on an arbitrary domain, a sequence of Laplace eigenfunctions always admits local weak limits. We explain why these local weak limits can be a powerful tool to study the asymptotic number of nodal domains.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-09T20:12:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "laplace eigenfunctions", "admits local weak limits", "berrys random wave conjecture", "local weak convergence", "arbitrary domain" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
