Geodesic bi-angles and Fourier coefficients of restrictions of eigenfunctions
Abstract
This article concerns joint asymptotics of Fourier coefficients of restrictions of Laplace eigenfunctions of a compact Riemannian manifold to a submanifold . We fix a number and study the asymptotics of the thin sums, where are the eigenvalues of and are the eigenvalues, resp. eigenfunctions, of . The inner sums represent the `jumps' of and reflect the geometry of geodesic c-bi-angles with one leg on and a second leg on with the same endpoints and compatible initial tangent vectors , where is the orthogonal projection of to . A c-bi-angle occurs when . Smoothed sums in are also studied, and give sharp estimates on the jumps. The jumps themselves may jump as varies, at certain values of related to periodicities in the c-bi-angle geometry. Subspheres of spheres and certain subtori of tori illustrate these jumps. The results refine those of the previous article (arXiv:2011.11571) where the inner sums run over and where geodesic bi-angles do not play a role.
