We deal with eigenvalue problems for the Laplacian on noncompact Riemannian manifolds $M$ of finite volume. Sharp conditions ensuring $L^q(M)$ and $L^\infty (M)$ bounds for eigenfunctions are exhibited in terms of either the isoperimetric…
We give an upper bound for the $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the critical set of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on compact analytic Riemannian manifolds. This is the analog of H. Donnely and C. Fefferman result on nodal set of…
We prove upper bounds on the $L^p$ norms of eigenfunctions of the discrete Laplacian on regular graphs. We then apply these ideas to study the $L^p$ norms of joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and an averaging operator over a finite…

This is a survey on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds (mainly compact and without boundary). We discuss both local results obtained by analyzing eigenfunctions on small balls, and global results obtained by wave…

We study the growth of Laplacian eigenfunctions $ -\Delta \phi_k = \lambda_k \phi_k$ on compact manifolds $(M,g)$. H\"ormander proved sharp polynomial bounds on $\| \phi_k\|_{L^{\infty}}$ which are attained on the sphere. On a `generic'…
For a bounded domain $\Omega$ with a piecewise smooth boundary in a complete Riemannian manifold $M$, we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian. By making use of a fact that eigenfunctions form an orthonormal…
We prove upper bounds for Hecke-Laplace eigenfunctions on certain Riemannian manifolds of arithmetic type. The manifolds under consideration are d-fold products of 2-spheres or 3-spheres, realized as adelic quotients of quaternion algebras…
Motivated by problems of mathematical physics (quantum chaos) questions of equidistribution of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on a Riemannian manifold have been studied by several authors. We consider here, in analogy with…

In this article we examine the concentration and oscillation effects developed by high-frequency eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a compact Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested in the structure of the possible…
In a Hadamard manifold $M$, it is proved that if $u$ is a $\lambda$-eigenfunction of the Laplacian that belongs to $L^p(M)$ for some $p \ge 2$, then $u$ is bounded and $\|u\|_{\infty} \le C \|u\|_p,$ where $C$ depends only on $p$, $\lambda$…
We show that the space $\mathcal{H}(\Omega)$ of holomorphic functions $F:\Omega\to\mathbb{C}$, where ${\Omega=\{(z,w)\in\widehat{\mathbb{C}}^2\,:\, z\cdot w\neq 1\}}$, possesses an orthogonal Schauder basis consisting of distinguished…
We discuss the geometry of Laplacian eigenfunctions $-\Delta \phi = \lambda \phi$ on compact manifolds $(M,g)$ and combinatorial graphs $G=(V,E)$. The 'dual' geometry of Laplacian eigenfunctions is well understood on $\mathbb{T}^d$…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian surface. Consider a family of $L^2$ normalized Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions, written in the semiclassical form $-h_j^2\Delta_g \phi_{h_j} = \phi_{h_j}$, whose eigenvalues satisfy $h h_j^{-1} \in (1, 1…
We give estimates for the $L^p$ norm ($2\leq p \leq +\infty$) of the restriction to a curve of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace Beltrami operator on a Riemannian surface. If the curve is a geodesic, we show that on the sphere these…
For $d \in \N$ and $\Omega \ne \emptyset$ an open set in $\R^d$, we consider the eigenfunctions $\Phi$ of the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta_\Omega$ of $\Omega$. If $\Phi$ is associated with an eigenvalue below the essential spectrum of…
