Nous étudions la limite de haute énergie pour les fonctions propres du laplacien, sur une variété riemannienne compacte dont le flot géodésique est d’Anosov. La localisation d’une mesure semiclassique associée à une suite de fonctions propres peut être mesurée par son entropie de Kolmogorov-Sinai. Nous obtenons pour cette entropie une borne inférieure qui, dans le cas des variétés à courbure négative constante, vaut la moitié de l’entropie maximale. En ce sens, on peut dire que les fonctions propres de haute énergie sont au moins à demi délocalisées.

We study the high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold with Anosov geodesic flow. The localization of a semiclassical measure associated with a sequence of eigenfunctions is characterized by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of this measure. We show that this entropy is necessarily bounded from below by a constant which, in the case of constant negative curvature, equals half the maximal entropy. In this sense, high-energy eigenfunctions are at least half-delocalized.
