Berry cancellation conjecture for Lipschitz–Killing curvatures
Berry cancellation conjecture for Lipschitz–Killing curvatures
Let be a Gaussian eigenfunction on a compact manifold . For , define the excursion set
For each Lipschitz–Killing curvature of , consider its projection onto the second-order Wiener chaos. Berry cancellation conjecture. For excursion sets of Gaussian eigenfunctions on compact manifolds, the projection of each Lipschitz–Killing curvature onto the second-order Wiener chaos vanishes if and only if . This would provide a major step toward a global understanding of Berry's cancellation phenomenon. In dimension two, the relevant curvatures are the area, half the boundary length, and the Euler–Poincaré characteristic; results for the two-sphere support the conjecture for the area and Euler–Poincaré characteristic, with boundary-length evidence also discussed, but the general statement remains open.
