 Title: Equidistribution in Shrinking Sets and L^4-Norm Bounds for Automorphic Forms Authors: Humphries, Peter Advisors: Sarnak, Peter C Contributors: Mathematics Department Subjects: Mathematics Issue Date: 2017 Publisher: Princeton, NJ : Princeton University Abstract: This thesis deals with two closely related problems stemming from the random wave conjecture for Maaß forms. The first problem is quantum unique ergodicity in shrinking sets; we show that by averaging over the centre of hyperbolic balls in Γ\H, quantum unique ergodicity holds for almost every shrinking ball whose radius is larger than the Planck scale. This result is conditional on the generalised Lindelöf hypothesis for Maaß eigenforms but is unconditional for Eisenstein series. We also show that equidistribution for Maaß eigenforms need not hold at or below the Planck scale. The second problem is bounding the L^4-norm of a Maaß form in the large eigenvalue limit; we complete the work of Spinu to show that the L^4-norm of an Eisenstein series E(z,1/2+it_g) restricted to compact sets is bounded by sqrt{log t_g}.
