Geodesic restrictions of arithmetic eigenfunctions (Q267527): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be a compact congruence arithmetic hyperbolic surface arising from a quaternion division algebra over \({\mathbb Q}\), let \(\psi\) be a Hecke-Maass form on \(X\) whose \(L^2\)-norm is \(1\). Let \(\lambda\) be the spectral parameter of \(\psi\). Let \(\ell\) be a geodesic segment on \(X\). This paper studies the bound of the \(L^2\)-norm of \(\psi\) restricted to \(\ell\). Previously, a special case of the paper [\textit{N. Burq} et al., Duke Math. J. 138, No. 3, 445--486 (2007; Zbl 1131.35053)] shows the above \(L^2\) norm is bounded by \(\lambda^{1/4}\). The author uses the amplification method of \textit{H. Iwaniec} and \textit{P. Sarnak} [Ann. Math. (2) 141, No. 2, 301--320 (1995; Zbl 0833.11019)] to improve the bound to \(\lambda^{3/14+\varepsilon}\). The author also gives better bounds on Fourier coefficients of \(\psi\) along the geodesic \(\ell\).
