Heuristics<br />

We will study the remainder in the pointwise Weyl law rather than<br />

eigenfuncti<strong>on</strong>s per se. Since eigenfuncti<strong>on</strong>s are more intuitive, here<br />

is a heuristic guide to what we prove:<br />

◮ |ϕ j (x)| 2 can <strong>on</strong>ly achieve the maximum possible size at or<br />

very near a self-focal point.<br />

◮ If the first return map has no invariant L 1 measures at the<br />

self-focal point, then |ϕ j (x)| 2 cannot achieve the maximum<br />

possible size right at the self-focal point.<br />

◮ Using the smoothess <strong>of</strong> the remainder in Weyl’s law, we also<br />

prove that if it does not have the maximal order <strong>of</strong> magnitude<br />

at the self-focal point, then it cannot be maximally large very<br />

near it either.
