Math Colloquium: Geometry & Topology of Zero Sets of Schrodinger Eigenfunctions
Start Date: 2/9/2015Start Time: 3:00 PM
End Date: 2/9/2015End Time: 4:00 PM
Event Description
Yaiza Canzani, Harvard University, Institute for Advanced Studies

 

Abstract: In this talk I will present some new results on the structure of the zero sets of Schrodinger eigenfunctions on compact Riemannian manifolds. I will first explain how wiggly the zero sets can be by studying the number of intersections with a fixed curve as the eigenvalue grows to infinity. Then, I will discuss some results on the topology of the zero sets when the eigenfunctions are randomized. This talk is based on joint works with John Toth and Peter Sarnak.
