Induced Fubini-Study metrics on strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds and zeros of random CR functions

Abstract: Let $X$ be a compact strictly pseudoconvex embeddable Cauchy-Riemann manifold and let $T_P$ be the Toeplitz operator on $X$ associated with a first-order pseudodifferential operator $P$. In our previous work we established the asymptotic expansion for $k$ large of the kernel of the operators $\chi(k^{-1}T_P)$, where $\chi$ is a smooth cut-off function supported in the positive real line. By using these asymptotics, we show in this paper that $X$ can be projectively embedded by maps with components of the form $\chi(k^{-1}\lambda)f_\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $T_P$ and $f_\lambda$ is a corresponding eigenfunction. We establish the asymptotics of the pull-back of the Fubini-Study metric by these maps and we obtain the distribution of the zero divisors of random Cauchy-Riemann functions. We then establish a version of the Lelong-Poincar\'e formula for domains with boundary and obtain the distribution of the zero divisors of random holomorphic functions on strictly pseudoconvex domains.
