Abstract

In this note, we consider a fixed vector field $V$ on $S^2$ and study the distribution of points which lie on the nodal set (of a random spherical harmonic) where $V$ is also tangent. We show that the expected value of the corresponding counting function is asymptotic to the eigenvalue with a leading coefficient that is independent of the vector field $V$. This demonstrates, in some form, a universality for vector fields up to lower order terms.
