Proof of the Kurlberg-Rudnick rate conjecture

Abstract

In this paper we present a proof of the Hecke quantum unique ergodicity rate conjecture for the Hannay-Berry model of quantum mechanics on the two-dimensional torus. This conjecture was stated in Z. Rudnick’s lectures at MSRI, Berkeley 1999, and ECM, Barcelona 2000.
