| Popis: | We study joint eigenfunctions of the spherical Hecke algebra acting on $L^2(\Gamma_n \backslash G / K)$ where $G = \text{PGL}(3, F)$ with $F$ a non-archimedean local field of arbitrary characteristic, $K = \text{PGL}(3, O)$ with $O$ the ring of integers of $F$, and $(\Gamma_n)$ is a sequence of torsion-free lattices. We prove a form of equidistribution on average for eigenfunctions whose spectral parameters lie in the tempered spectrum when the associated sequence of quotients of the Bruhat-Tits building Benjamini-Schramm converges to the building itself. This result is a higher rank non-archimedean analogue of existing results for graphs and locally symmetric spaces. A recurring theme in the proof is the reduction of many computations to computing the sum of an exponential function over lattice points in a polytope; such expressions can subsequently be simplified using Brion's formula. Along the way of proving our main result we prove several other results which may be of independent interest including a "degenerate" version of Brion's formula which "interpolates" between the usual Brion's formula and the Ehrhart polynomial, an effective rate of convergence for the distribution of spectral parameters to the Plancherel measure under Benjamini-Schramm convergence, and a classification of relative positions of triples of points in buildings of type $\tilde{A}_2$. Comment: 72 pages, 9 figures, 1 table; fixed the arxiv rendering of images, added commentary about the algebraic interpretation of classification of nearly opposite sectors, and added additional commentary in intro |
