This paper makes use of recent joint work of the second author with several collaborators, which in part was motivated by the applications to nodal sets. Theorem is recent joint work with X. Han, A. Hassell and H. Hezari []. It also uses calculations in recent work [] with H. Hezari.As mentioned above, Theorem is joint work with C. D. Sogge []. The boundary quantum ergodicity theorem and boundary local Weyl law is joint work with A. Hassell [] and with H. Christianson and J. Toth []. We would also like to thank N. Simanyi for helpful correspondence regarding [] and L. Stoyanov for correspondence on billiard problems.

N2 - It is an open problem in general to prove that there exists a sequence of (Formula presented.) -eigenfunctions (Formula presented.) on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) for which the number (Formula presented.) of nodal domains tends to infinity with the eigenvalue. Our main result is that (Formula presented.) along a subsequence of eigenvalues of density 1 if (M, g) is a non-positively curved surface with concave boundary, i.e., a generalized Sinai or Lorentz billiard. Unlike the recent closely related work of Ghosh-Reznikov-Sarnak and of the authors on the nodal domain counting problem, the surfaces need not have any symmetries.
