[ Abstract ]
Eigenfunctions are fundamental objects of study in spectral geometry and quantum chaos. On a domain or manifold, they determine the behaviour of solutions to many evolution type equations using, for example, separation of variables. Eigenfunctions are very sensitive to background geometry, so it is important to understand what the eigenfunctions look like: where are they large and where are they small? There are many different ways to measure what "large" and "small" mean. One can consider local $L^2$ distribution, local and global $L^p$ distribution, as well as restrictions and boundary values. I will give an overview of what is known, and then discuss some very recent works in progress demonstrating that complicated things can happen even in very simple geometric settings.
