Abstract

The Kuznecov sum formula, proved by Zelditch in the Riemannian setting, is an asymptotic sum formula N(λ):=λjλHejdVH2=CH,MλcodimH+O(λcodimH1)N(\lambda) := \sum_{\lambda_j \leq \lambda} \left| \int_H e_j \, dV_H \right|^2 = C_{H,M} \lambda^{\operatorname{codim} H} + O(\lambda^{\operatorname{codim} H - 1}) where eje_j constitute a Hilbert basis of Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions on a Riemannian manifold MM with Δgej=λj2ej\Delta_g e_j = -\lambda_j^2 e_j, and HH is an embedded submanifold. We show for some suitable definition of `\sim', N(λ)CH,MλcodimH+Q(λ)λcodimH1+o(λcodimH1) N(\lambda) \sim C_{H,M} \lambda^{\operatorname{codim} H} + Q(\lambda) \lambda^{\operatorname{codim} H - 1} + o(\lambda^{\operatorname{codim} H - 1}) where QQ is a bounded oscillating term and is expressed in terms of the geodesics which depart and arrive HH in the normal directions. In work by Canzani, Galkowski, and Toth, they establish (as a corollary to a stronger result involving defect measures) that if the set of recurrent directions of geodesics normal to HH has measure zero, then we obtain improved bounds on the individual terms in the sum -- the period integrals. We are able to give a dynamical condition such that QQ is uniformly continuous and `\sim' can be replaced with `=='. This implies improved bounds on period integrals, and this condition is weaker than the recurrent directions having measure zero. Moreover, our result implies improved bounds for period integrals if there is no L1L^1 measure on SNHSN^*H that is invariant under the first return map. This generalizes a theorem of Sogge and Zelditch and of Galkowski.
