A non-concentration estimate for partially rectangular billiards

Abstract

We consider quasimodes on planar domains with a partially rectangular boundary. We prove that for any ϵ0>0\epsilon_0>0, an \O(λϵ0)\O(\lambda^{-\epsilon_0}) quasimode must have L2L^2 mass in the "wings" bounded below by λ2δ\lambda^{-2-\delta} for any δ>0\delta>0. The proof uses the author's recent work on 0-Gevrey smooth domains to approximate quasimodes on C1,1C^{1,1} domains. There is an improvement for C2,αC^{2,\alpha} domains.

Comments

Contains a summary of results from the author's previous work in arXiv:1303.6172 [math.AP]. Version 2 corrects a mistake in notation and add an improved result for $C^{2, \alpha}$ domains. L. Hillairet pointed out a mistake in v.2; v.3 is expanded and corrects this mistake
