Abstract

Given a compact surface of revolution with Laplace-beltrami operator Δ\Delta, we consider the spectral projector Pλ,δP_{\lambda,\delta} on a polynomially narrow frequency interval [λδ,λ+δ][\lambda-\delta,\lambda + \delta], which is associated to the self-adjoint operator Δ\sqrt{-\Delta}. For a large class of surfaces of revolution, and after excluding small disks around the poles, we prove that the L2LL^2 \to L^{\infty} norm of Pλ,δP_{\lambda,\delta} is of order λ12δ12\lambda^{\frac{1}{2}} \delta^{\frac{1}{2}} up to δλ132\delta \geq \lambda^{-\frac{1}{32}}. We adapt the microlocal approach introduced by Sogge for the case δ=1\delta = 1, by using the Quantum Completely Integrable structure of surfaces of revolution introduced by Colin de Verdi\`ere. This reduces the analysis to a number of estimates of explicit oscillatory integrals, for which we introduce new quantitative tools.This is the first sharp result in the case δ1\delta \ll 1 beyond the case of locally symmetric surfaces (torus, sphere, arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces).
