spherical harmonic

A numerical investigation on the high‐frequency geometry of spherical random eigenfunctions

A lot of attention has been drawn over the last few years by the investigation of the geometry of spherical random eigenfunctions (random spherical harmonics) in the high‐frequency regime, that is, for diverging eigenvalues. In this paper, we present a review of these results and we collect for the first time a comprehensive numerical investigation, focussing on particular on the behavior of Lipschitz‐Killing curvatures/Minkowski functionals (i.e., the area, the boundary length, and the Euler‐Poincaré characteristic of excursion sets) and on critical points.
