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 extend the microlocal Kakeya--Nikodym bounds for eigenfunctions of Blair--Sogge to a larger range of exponents, which is optimal in all dimensions $n\ge3$ on general manifolds. On manifolds of constant sectional curvature, we introduce a…
Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional compact boudaryless Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature, then our conclusion is that we can give improved estimates for the $L^p$ norms of the restrictions of eigenfunctions to smooth…
We prove a Kakeya-Nikodym bound on eigenfunctions and quasimodes, which sharpens a result of the authors and extends it to higher dimensions. As in the prior work, the key intermediate step is to prove a microlocal version of these…
We prove new improved endpoint, $L^{p_c}$, $p_c=\tfrac{2(n+1)}{n-1}$, estimates (the "kink point") for eigenfunctions on manifolds of nonpositive curvature. We do this by using energy and dispersive estimates for the wave equation as well…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, boundaryless manifold of dimension $n$ with the property that either (i) $n=2$ and $(M,g)$ has no conjugate points, or (ii) the sectional curvatures of $(M,g)$ are nonpositive. Let $\Delta$ be the positive…
Let $(M,g)$ be a two-dimensional compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold with nonpostive curvature, then we shall give improved estimates for the $L^2$-norms of the restrictions of eigenfunctions to unit-length geodesics, compared to the…
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…
We show that one can obtain logarithmic improvements of $L^2$ geodesic restriction estimates for eigenfunctions on 3-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds with constant negative curvature. We obtain a $(\log\lambda)^{-\frac12}$ gain for…
We obtain new improved spectral projection estimates on manifolds of non-positive curvature, including sharp ones for relatively large spectral windows for general tori. Our results are stronger than those in an earlier work of the first…
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 $X$ be a compact arithmetic congruence hyperbolic surface, and let $\psi$ be an $L^2$-normalized Hecke-Maass form on $X$ with sufficiently large spectral parameter $\lambda$. We give a new proof to obtain a power saving for the global…
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 give new lower asymptotical estimate of constant \[ C_n=\sup\biggl\{\frac{\|t_n\|_{C(\mathbb T)}}{\|t_n\|_{L(\mathbb T)}}:t_n\text{are real trigonometric polynomials}, \operatorname{deg}t_n<n\biggr\} \] as $n\to\infty$. This estimate…
If $(M,g)$ is a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\ge 2$ we give necessary and sufficient conditions for improved $L^p(M)$-norms of eigenfunctions for all $2<p\ne p_c=\tfrac{2(n+1)}{n-1}$, the critical exponent. Since improved…
We prove an analogue of Sogge's local $L^p$ estimates for $L^p$ norms of restrictions of eigenfunctions to submanifolds, and use it to show that for quantum ergodic eigenfunctions one can get improvements of the results of…
It has been known since the work of Avakumov\'ic, H\"ormander and Levitan that, on any compact smooth Riemannian manifold, if $-\Delta_g \psi_\lambda = \lambda \psi_\lambda$, then $\|\psi_\lambda\|_{L^\infty} \leq C \lambda^{\frac{d-1}{4}}…
We obtain some improved essentially sharp Kakeya-Nikodym estimates for eigenfunctions in two-dimensions. We obtain these by proving stronger related microlocal estimates involving a natural decomposition of phase space that is adapted to…
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…
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth, compact Riemannian manifold and $\{\phi_\lambda \}$ an $L^2$-normalized sequence of Laplace eigenfunctions, $-\Delta_g\phi_\lambda =\lambda^2 \phi_\lambda$. Given a smooth submanifold $H \subset M$ of codimension…
