Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be a piecewise-smooth, bounded convex domain in R2\R^2 and consider L2L^2-normalized Neumann eigenfunctions ϕλ\phi_{\lambda} with eigenvalue λ2\lambda^2. Our main result is a small-scale {\em non-concentration} estimate: We prove that for {\em any} x0Ω,x_0 \in \overline{\Omega}, (including boundary and corner points) and any δ[0,1),\delta \in [0,1), ϕλB(x0,λδ)Ω=O(λδ/2). \| \phi_\lambda \|_{B(x_0,\lambda^{-\delta})\cap \Omega} = O(\lambda^{-\delta/2}). The proof is a stationary vector field argument combined with a small scale induction argument.
