We use the Dong-Sogge-Zelditch formula to obtain a lower bound for the volume of the nodal sets of eigenfunctions. Our result improves the recent results of Sogge-Zelditch and in dimensions n \leq 5 gives a new proof for the lower bounds of…

We give a very short argument showing how the main identity from our earlier paper (Sogge and Zelditch, 2011) immediately leads to the best lower bound currently known (Colding and Minicozzi II, 2011) for the Hausdorff measure of nodal sets…

The aim of this article is to provide a simple and unified way to obtain the sharp upper bounds of nodal sets of eigenfunctions for different types of eigenvalue problems on real analytic domains. The examples include biharmonic Steklov…

We prove lower bounds for the Hausdorff measure of nodal sets of eigenfunctions.

In this note, we first try to prove a uniform lower bound of nodal volume in elliptic homogenization setting. This lower bound is far from optimal. But, we can prove a constant lower bound in dimension two. Motivated by the proof, we extend…

This is a survey for the JDG 50th Anniversary conference of recent results on nodal sets of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold. In part the techniques are `local', i.e. only assuming eigenfunctions are defined…

We study the size of nodal sets of Laplacian eigenfunctions on compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary and recover the currently optimal lower bound by comparing the heat flow of the eigenfunction with that of an artifically…

We find new polynomial upper bounds for the size of nodal sets of eigenfunctions when the Riemannian manifold has a Gevrey or quasianalytic regularity.

Let \phi\ be a Dirichlet or Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove lower bounds for the size of the nodal set {\phi=0}.

The goal of this article is to draw new applications of small scale quantum ergodicity in nodal sets of eigenfunctions. We show that if quantum ergodicity holds on balls of shrinking radius $r(\lambda) \to 0$, then one can achieve…

We prove a natural inequality which implies the known lower bounds for the $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of nodal sets for smooth compact manifolds.

We prove a result, announced by F. Nazarov, L. Polterovich and M. Sodin that exhibits a relation between the average local growth of a Laplace eigenfunction on a closed surface and the global size of its nodal set. More precisely, we…

We extend a result of the second author \cite[Theorem 1.1]{soggekaknik} to dimensions $d \geq 3$ which relates the size of $L^p$-norms of eigenfunctions for $2<p<\frac{2(d+1)}{d-1}$ to the amount of $L^2$-mass in shrinking tubes about…

Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold. We consider the inner radius of a nodal domain for a large eigenvalue \lambda. We give upper and lower bounds on the inner radius of the type C/\lambda^k. Our proof is based on a local behavior of…

We study concentration phenomena of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on closed Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the volume measure of a closed manifold concentrates around nodal sets of eigenfunctions exponentially. Applying the method of…

We study the interior nodal sets, $Z_\lambda$ of Steklov eigenfunctions in an $n$-dimensional relatively compact manifolds $M$ with boundary and show that one has the lower bounds $|Z_\lambda|\ge c\lambda^{\frac{2-n}2}$ for the size of its…

This paper focuses on a relation between the growth of harmonic functions and the Hausdorff measure of their zero sets. Let $u$ be a real-valued harmonic function in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $u(0)=0$ and $n\geq 3$. We prove…

We introduce a new technique proving formula size lower bounds based on the linear programming bound originally introduced by Karchmer, Kushilevitz and Nisan [11] and the theory of stable set polytope. We apply it to majority functions and…

We consider the lower bound of nodal sets of Steklov eigenfunctions on smooth Riemannian manifolds with boundary--the eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. Let $N_\lambda$ be its nodal set. Assume that zero is a regular value of…

Let $(M, g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, where g is $C^1$-smooth metric. Consider the sequence of eigenfunctions $u_k$ of the Laplace operator on M. Let $B$ be a ball on $M$. We prove a sharp estimate of the number of nodal domains of…
