Restriction bounds for Laplace eigenfunctions

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold, $\phi_{\lambda}$ an
$L^{2}$-normalized eigenfunction with eigenvalue $\lambda^{2}$ and let $H \subset M$ be a hypersurface. I will review recent results on the asymptotics of the
$L^{2}$-restrictions, $ \int_{H} |\phi_{\lambda}|^{2} d\vol_H$ both in the
completely integrable and ergodic settings. This question is closely related to the
issue of "eigenfunction scarring" and is heavily influenced by the geometry of $M$
and also the relative geometry of the hypersurface, $H.$
