Abstract

The classical Weyl Law says that if NM(λ)N_M(\lambda) denotes the number of eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on a dd-dimensional compact manifold MM without a boundary that are less than or equal to λ\lambda, then NM(λ)=cλd+O(λd1). N_M(\lambda)=c\lambda^d+O(\lambda^{d-1}). In this paper, we show Duistermaat and Guillemin's result allows us to replace the O(λd1)O(\lambda^{d-1}) error with o(λd1)o(\lambda^{d-1}) if MM is a product manifold. We quantify this bound in the case of Cartesian product of spheres by reducing the problem to the study of the distribution of weighted integer lattice points in Euclidean space and formulate a conjecture in the general case reminiscent of the sum-product phenomenon in additive combinatorics.
