We show that for any dimension $d\ge3$, one can obtain Wolff's $L^{(d+2)/2}$ bound on Kakeya-Nikodym maximal function in $\mathbb R^d$ for $d\ge3$ without the induction on scales argument. The key ingredient is to reduce to a 2-dimensional…

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…

We obtain an improvement of the bilinear estimates of Burq, G\'erard and Tzvetkov in the spirit of the refined Kakeya-Nikodym estimates of Blair and the second author. We do this by using microlocal techniques and a bilinear version of…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition that $L^p$-norms, $2<p<6$, of eigenfunctions of the square root of minus the Laplacian on 2-dimensional compact boundaryless Riemannian manifolds $M$ are small compared to a natural power of…

In this paper, using new correction to the Crouzeix-Raviart finite element eigenvalue approximations, we obtain lower eigenvalue bounds for the Steklov eigenvalue problem with variable coefficients on d-dimensional domains (d = 2,3). In…

Let $(\Omega,g)$ be a compact, real-analytic Riemannian manifold with real-analytic boundary $\partial \Omega.$ The harmonic extensions of the boundary Dirchlet-to-Neumann eigenfunctions are called Steklov eigenfunctions. We show that the…

Let $\psi$ be a Hecke-Maass form with a large spectral parameter on a compact arithmetic complex hyperbolic surface. We apply the amplification method to obtain a power saving over the trivial bound for the Kakeya-Nikodym norm of $\psi$. As…

I show that $L^{p}-L^{q}$ estimates for the Kakeya maximal function yield lower bounds for the conformal dimension of Kakeya sets, and upper bounds for how much quasisymmetries can increase the Hausdorff dimension of line segments inside…

We discuss problems that relate curvature and concentration properties of eigenfunctions and quasimodes on compact boundaryless Riemannian manifolds. These include new sharp $L^q$-estimates, $q\in (2,q_c]$, $q_c=2(n+1)/(n-1)$, of…
