Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a bounded domain represent the modes of vibration of a vibrating drum. The behavior of these eigenfunctions is closely related to the behavior of the underlying dynamical system of the billiard table. In this talk I first give a brief exposition on this relation and then I talk about the boundary traces of eigenfunctions and a recent joint work with Han, Hassell and Zelditch.
