Threshold Hierarchy for Packet-Scale Boundary Cancellation of Dirichlet Eigenfunctions
Abstract
We identify geometry--dependent minimal packet scales required for cancellation of boundary correlations of high--frequency Dirichlet eigenfunctions on smooth strictly convex domains. The main result is a threshold hierarchy: for zero--mean boundary weights, the energy--weighted packet average of boundary correlation coefficients vanishes once the packet length exceeds a scale determined by the vanishing order of curvature moments of the weight. In particular, the threshold suffices when , while a strictly weaker threshold applies when additionally , reducing in dimension to the minimal condition . The thresholds follow from the boundary local Weyl law. As a structural consequence of the Rellich identity alone, the single--mode share of boundary energy within any sublinear spectral packet is of order . All estimates are independent of eigenvalue monotonicity and remain stable under eigenvalue crossings.
