We investigate norms of spectral projectors on thin spherical shells for the Laplacian on tori. This is closely related to the boundedness of resolvents of the Laplacian, and to the boundedness of $L^p$ norms of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. We formulate a conjecture, and partially prove it.
We propose a conjecture for long time Strichartz estimates on generic (non-rectangular) flat tori. We proceed to partially prove it in dimension 2. Our arguments involve on the one hand Weyl bounds; and on the other hands bounds on the number of solutions of Diophantine problems.
A Borel probability measure $mu$ on a locally compact group is called a spectral measure if there exists a subset of continuous group characters which forms an orthogonal basis of the Hilbert space $L^2(mu)$. In this paper, we characterize all spectral measures in the field $mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers.
We define a scale of Hardy spaces $mathcal{H}^{p}_{FIO}(mathbb{R}^{n})$, $pin[1,infty]$, that are invariant under suitable Fourier integral operators of order zero. This builds on work by Smith for $p=1$. We also introduce a notion of off-singularity decay for kernels on the cosphere bundle of $mathbb{R}^{n}$, and we combine this with wave packet transforms and tent spaces over the cosphere bundle to develop a full Hardy space theory for oscillatory integral operators. In the process we extend the known results about $L^{p}$-boundedness of Fourier integral operators, from local boundedness to global boundedness for a larger class of symbols.
We look at the $L^p$ bounds on eigenfunctions for polygonal domains (or more generally Euclidean surfaces with conic singularities) by analysis of the wave operator on the flat Euclidean cone $C(mathbb{S}^1_rho) := mathbb{R}_+ times left(mathbb{R} big/ 2pirho mathbb{Z}right)$ of radius $rho > 0$ equipped with the metric $h(r,theta) = d r^2 + r^2 , dtheta^2$. Using explicit oscillatory integrals and relying on the fundamental solution to the wave equation in geometric regions related to flat wave propagation and diffraction by the cone point, we can prove spectral cluster estimates equivalent to those in works on smooth Riemannian manifolds.
We prove an analogue of Shnirelman, Zelditch and Colin de Verdieres Quantum Ergodicity Theorems in a case where there is no underlying classical ergodicity. The system we consider is the Laplacian with a delta potential on the square torus. There are two types of wave functions: old eigenfunctions of the Laplacian, which are not affected by the scatterer, and new eigenfunctions which have a logarithmic singularity at the position of the scatterer. We prove that a full density subsequence of the new eigenfunctions equidistribute in phase space. Our estimates are uniform with respect to the coupling parameter, in particular the equidistribution holds for both the weak and strong coupling quantizations of the point scatterer.
