We consider a random Gaussian model of Laplace eigenfunctions on the hemisphere, satisfying the Dirichlet boundary conditions along the equator. For this model, we find a precise asymptotic law for the corresponding zero density functions, in both short range (around the boundary) and long range (far away from the boundary) regimes. As a corollary, we were able to find a logarithmic negative bias for the total nodal length of this ensemble relative to the rotation invariant model of random spherical harmonics. Jean Bourgain's research, and his enthusiastic approach to the nodal geometry of Laplace eigenfunctions, has made a crucial impact in the field and the current trends within. His works on the spectral correlations {Theorem 2.2 in the work of Krishnapur et al. [Ann. Math. 177(2), 699–737 (2013)]} and Bombieri and Bourgain [Int. Math. Res. Not. (IMRN) 11, 3343–3407 (2015)] have opened a door for an active ongoing research on the nodal length of functions defined on surfaces of arithmetic flavor, such as the torus or the square. Furthermore, Bourgain's work [J. Bourgain, Isr. J. Math. 201(2), 611–630 (2014)] on toral Laplace eigenfunctions, also appealing to spectral correlations, allowed for inferring deterministic results from their random Gaussian counterparts.

Continuing the work of Monnier [Israel J. Math. 129, 189–207 (2002)], we determine the Gerstenhaber algebra structure over the Poisson cohomology groups for a large class of Poisson structures with isolated singularities over the plane. It reveals that there exists a GAGA-type phenomenon. We give an explicit description via generators and relations for the case of simple singularities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
