Title: Shapes and sizes of eigenfunctions

Abstract: Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian (or Schrodinger operators) arise
as stationary states in quantum mechanics. They are not apriori geometric
objects but we would like to relate the nodal (zero) sets and Lp norms 
of eigenfunctions to the geometry of geometrics. I will explain what is
known (and unknown) and norms and nodal sets of eigenfunctions. No
prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is assumed.
