Introduction to Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian

Description:

We will introduce the problems and methods on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian.Contents: Review of the Laplacian and the d'Alembertian, the Hadamard parametrix, the sharp Weyl formula, stationary phase and microlocal analysis, improved spectral asymptotics and periodic geodesics, classical and quantum ergodicity.

Prerequisite：

Real analysis, functional analysis
