Holomorphic mass equidistribution conjecture for Hecke eigencuspforms

Let \mathbbmH\mathbbm{H} be the upper half plane with hyperbolic measure dμz=y2dxdyd\mu z=y^{-2}dxdy, let Γ=SL2(\mathbbmZ)\Gamma=\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbbm{Z}), and set X=Γ\\mathbbmHX=\Gamma\backslash\mathbbm{H}. Let L(X)\mathcal{L}(X) be the Hilbert space of square-integrable automorphic functions on XX, with inner product

f,g=Xf(z)g(z)dμz.\langle f,g\rangle=\int_X f(z)\overline{g(z)}\,d\mu z.

Choose any sequence of holomorphic Hecke eigencuspforms {fk}\{f_k\} normalized by

Xykfk(z)2dμz=1,\int_X y^k|f_k(z)|^2\,d\mu z=1,

and define Fk(z)=yk/2fk(z)F_k(z)=y^{k/2}f_k(z) for z=x+iyz=x+iy. For a fixed smooth and bounded function ϕ\phi on XX, the holomorphic mass equidistribution conjecture asserts that

ϕFk,Fk=1Vol(X)ϕ,1+o(1)as k.\langle \phi F_k,F_k\rangle=\frac{1}{\operatorname{Vol}(X)}\langle\phi,1\rangle+o(1)\qquad\text{as }k\longrightarrow\infty.

This is a holomorphic analogue of the more general Quantum Unique Ergodicity conjecture for arithmetic surfaces; the stated equidistribution result was subsequently proved, resolving the conjecture.
