title: Percolation model for nodal domains of chaotic wave functions.
abstract: Nodal domains are regions where a function has definite sign. In [] it is conjectured that the distribution of nodal domains for quantum eigenfunctions of chaotic systems is universal. We propose a percolationlike model for description of these nodal domains which permits us to calculate all interesting quantities analytically, agrees well with numerical simulations, and due to the relation to percolation theory opens the way to deeper understanding of the structure of chaotic wave functions.
