Generalized quantum unique ergodicity conjecture for ergodic flows and maps

Let ΦHt\Phi^t_H be an ergodic Hamiltonian flow on an energy shell EE\mathcal{E}_E, with quantum Hamiltonian H^\hat H_\hbar and eigenstates ψ,j\psi_{\hbar,j} of energies E,jEE_{\hbar,j}\approx E. Let κ\kappa be a canonical ergodic map on the torus T2\mathbb{T}^2, and let (UN(κ))NN(U_N(\kappa))_{N\in\mathbb{N}} be an associated quantum map. Generalized quantum unique ergodicity conjecture. All eigenstates ψ,j\psi_{\hbar,j} with E,jEE_{\hbar,j}\approx E become equidistributed as 0\hbar\to0, and all eigenstates of UN(κ)U_N(\kappa) become equidistributed on T2\mathbb{T}^2 as NN\to\infty. This extends QUE from negatively curved geodesic flows to ergodic Hamiltonian flows and canonical maps; the supplied source gives no resolution.
