The full delocalization of eigenstates for the quantized cat map

Abstract

We consider the quantum cat map - a toy model of a quantized chaotic system. We show that its eigenstates are fully delocalized on T2 in the semiclassical limit (or equivalently that each semiclassical measure is fully supported on T2). We adapt the proof of a similar result proved for the eigenstates of -g on compact hyperbolic surfaces from [arXiv:1705.05019], relying on the fractal uncertainty principle in [arXiv:1612.09040].
