Quantum ergodicity conjecture for resonant states on cusp surfaces

About 15 years old · traced to

Let MM be a surface with cusp ends, and let μ0\mu_0 be the Liouville measure. Assume that the geodesic flow on MM is ergodic with respect to μ0\mu_0. A density-one subsequence of resonant states in any strip

{Im⁡λ>−C}\{\operatorname{Im}\lambda>-C\}

should converge microlocally to μ0\mu_0.

Quantum ergodicity conjecture for resonant states. Under these assumptions, there exists a density-one subsequence of resonant states in every strip {Im⁡λ>−C}\{\operatorname{Im}\lambda>-C\} converging microlocally to the Liouville measure μ0\mu_0.

This is the analogue of quantum ergodicity for resonant states when most resonances approach the real axis. The preceding discussion establishes that a density-one subsequence of resonances converges to the real line, but does not establish the asserted microlocal convergence to μ0\mu_0; the conjecture remains open in the source.
