Billiards and boundary traces of eigenfunctions
Journées équations aux dérivées partielles (2003), article no. 15, 22 p.

This is a report on recent results with A. Hassell on quantum ergodicity of boundary traces of eigenfunctions on domains with ergodic billiards, and of work in progress with Hassell and Sogge on norms of boundary traces. Related work by Burq, Grieser and Smith-Sogge is also discussed.
