Abstract:
Several observations on spherical harmonics and their nodal sets are presented: a construction for harmonics with prescribed zeros; a natural representation for harmonics on S2; upper and lower bounds for the nodal length and the inner radius (the upper bounds are sharp); the sharp upper bound for the number of common zeros of two spherical harmonics on S2; the mean Hausdorff measure of the intersection of k nodal sets for harmonics of different degrees on Sm, where k≤m (in particular, the mean number of common zeros of m harmonics).
