Rudnick–Sarnak's quantum unique ergodicity conjecture
Rudnick–Sarnak's quantum unique ergodicity conjecture
Let be a compact Riemannian manifold with negative sectional curvature, let be an orthonormal basis of Laplace eigenfunctions on , and let be the Wigner measure associated to . Rudnick–Sarnak's quantum unique ergodicity conjecture. The Wigner measures converge weak-* to the Liouville measure:
In other words, the Liouville measure is the unique quantum limit. This strengthens quantum ergodicity, which gives convergence only along a density-one subsequence; the conjecture asserts convergence for the entire eigenbasis on negatively curved manifolds.
