Abstract
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the nodal length of random 2d-spherical harmonics f(l) of high degree l -> infinity i.e. the length of their zero set f(l)(-1)(0). It is found that the nodal lengths are asymptotically equivalent, in the L-2-sense, to the "sample trispectrum", i.e., the integral of H-4(f(l)(x)), the fourth-order Hermite polynomial of the values of f(l). A particular by-product of this is a Quantitative Central Limit Theorem (in Wasserstein distance) for the nodal length, in the high energy limit.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
