Conjecture on ergodic real nodal hypersurfaces

About 21 years old · traced to

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a real analytic Riemannian manifold with ergodic geodesic flow, and let {φj}\{\varphi_j\} be a density-one sequence of ergodic eigenfunctions. For a test function ff, define the real nodal current by

⟨[Zφj],f⟩=∫Zφjf(x) dHm−1,\langle[Z_{\varphi_j}],f\rangle=\int_{Z_{\varphi_j}}f(x)\,d\mathcal H^{m-1},

where dHm−1d\mathcal H^{m-1} is the (m−1)(m-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure induced by the Riemannian metric, and let λ\lambda denote the eigenvalue parameter. Ergodic real nodal hypersurface conjecture.

⟨[Zφj],f⟩∼{∫Mf dVol⁡g}λ.\langle[Z_{\varphi_j}],f\rangle\sim\left\{\int_M f\,d\operatorname{Vol}_g\right\}\lambda.

This conjecture predicts equidistribution of real nodal hypersurfaces with respect to Riemannian volume on manifolds whose geodesic flow is ergodic. The paper establishes the analogous complex-zero result, while the asserted real nodal asymptotic is left open.
