Quantum ergodicity of Wigner induced spherical harmonics
arXiv:1512.03138
Abstract
We show that a Wigner induced random orthonormal basis of spherical harmonics is almost surely quantum ergodic. Here, a random basis is identified with an element of the product probability space of unitary groups, each endowed with the measure induced by the generalized Wigner ensemble. This yields a semi-classical realization of the probabilistic quantum unique ergodicity result for Wigner eigenvectors of Bourgade-Yau. At the same time, this generalizes a similar result due to Zelditch, who uses Haar measure on the unitary groups in defining the notion of a random basis.
