Smoothness and positivity conjecture for band-limited nodal-area distributions
Smoothness and positivity conjecture for band-limited nodal-area distributions
Let be a band-limited Gaussian function on an -dimensional compact manifold, with and , and let be the limiting distribution function for normalized nodal-domain volumes. For , let , where is the first zero of the Bessel function . Smoothness and positivity conjecture. The function is continuous and everywhere differentiable. For , its derivative satisfies everywhere, whereas for the same inequality holds for . This conjecture predicts that the limiting nodal-volume distribution has no atoms and a strictly positive density throughout its support, with the stated threshold in the monochromatic case.
