Abstract

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the nodal length of random 2d-spherical harmonics fℓ of high degree ℓ → ∞, i.e. the length of their zero set f-1ℓ (0). It is found that the nodal lengths are asymptotically equivalent, in the L2-sense, to the "gsample trispectrum", i.e., the integral of H4(fℓ(x)), the fourth-order Hermite polynomial of the values of fℓ. A particular by-product of this is a Quantitative Central Limit Theorem (in Wasserstein distance) for the nodal length, in the high energy limit.
