This book discusses the modern theory of Laplace eigenfunctions through the lens of a new tool called geodesic beams. The authors provide a brief introduction to the theory of Laplace eigenfunctions followed by an accessible treatment of geodesic beams and their applications to sup norm estimates, L^p estimates, averages, and Weyl laws. Geodesic beams have proven to be a valuable tool in the study of Laplace eigenfunctions, but their treatment is currently spread through a variety of rathe...
