Mathematics 595 (Winter 2015)

This course is an introduction to spectral asymptotics. My aim to cover enough microlocal analysis to prove the Avakumovic-Levitan-Hormander theorem for the spectral counting function, the Quantum Ergodicity Theorem of Colin de Verdiere, Schinrelmann, Zelditch and some more recent applications to eigenfunction asymptotics.

In addition to Hormander Vols. I and III and Grigis-Sjostrand, there are the following very nice survey articles:

Spectral Geometry (Y. Canzani)

Eigenfunctions (S. Zelditch)
