Abstract

We study the problem of estimating the L2L^2 norm of Laplace eigenfunctions on a compact Riemannian manifold MM when restricted to a hypersurface HH. We prove mass estimates for the restrictions of eigenfunctions ϕh\phi_h, (h2Δ1)ϕh=0(h^2 \Delta - 1)\phi_h = 0, to HH in the region exterior to the coball bundle of HH, on hδh^{\delta}-scales (0δ<2/30\leq \delta < 2/3). We use this estimate to obtain an O(1)O(1) L2L^2-restriction bound for the Neumann data along H.H. The estimate also applies to eigenfunctions of semiclassical Schr\"odinger operators.

Comments

22 pages. Second version has (sharp) improved restriction estimate following contributions from A. Hassell (added as an author). Version 3 fixes some mistakes and typos, and adds a more general result on semiclassical Schrodinger operator eigenfunctions
