Microlocal quantum unique ergodicity for paths on the Bruhat–Tits graph

Fix nZ0n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant 0} and let NnN\geqslant n tend to infinity. Let YN..N\mathbf{Y}_{-N..N} be the space of paths used above, let FN..N\mathcal{F}_{-N..N} be the specified family of Hecke eigenfunctions on this space, and for φFN..N\varphi\in\mathcal{F}_{-N..N} let μφ\mu_\varphi be the probability measure on Yn..n\mathbf{Y}_{-n..n} defined by pushforward and averaging φ2|\varphi|^2. Microlocal quantum unique ergodicity conjecture. In the context of Question, the uniform measure on Yn..n\mathbf{Y}_{-n..n} is the only possible weak limit: for any sequence φNFN..N\varphi_N\in\mathcal{F}_{-N..N} and any EYn..nE\subseteq\mathbf{Y}_{-n..n},

limNμφN(E)=EYn..n.\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\mu_{\varphi_N}(E)=\frac{|E|}{|\mathbf{Y}_{-n..n}|}.

This is presented as an analogue of the arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity conjecture of Rudnick–Sarnak; the source says it had not appeared explicitly in the literature and does not provide a resolution.
