Abstract:

Let X be a noncompact hyperbolic surface of finite area and let C be a fixed horocycle on X. Let N(f) be a zero set of a Laplacian eigenfunction f with the eigenvalue t^2, which in fact is a finite union of real analytic curves. It has been shown in several ways that N(f) shares common properties with the zero set of a polynomial of degree t. Therefore we expect that the number of intersection of N(f) and C is asymptotically bounded by t. I will talk how one can get a such bound by using analytic theory of Eisenstein series and the asymptotic of K Bessel function.
