Concerning the \(L^ p\) norm of spectral clusters for second-order elliptic operators on compact manifolds (Q1100683)

The purpose of the present paper is to study the \(L^p(M)\to L^q(M)\) mapping properties of a spectral projection operator, where \(M\) is a smooth connected compact manifold without boundary of dimension \(\geq 2\). This operator is a generalization of the harmonic projection operator for spherical harmonics on \(S^n\) [see \textit{C. D. Sogge}, ``Oscillatory integrals and spherical harmonics'', Duke Math. J. 53, 43--65 (1986; Zbl 0636.42018)]. As a corollary of a certain ``Sobolev inequality'' the author generalizes the \(L^2\) restriction theorems of C. Fefferman, E. M. Stein and P. Tomas [see \textit{P. Tomas}, Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 81, 477--478 (1975; Zbl 0298.42011)] for the Fourier transform in \(\mathbb R^n\) to the setting of Riemannian manifolds.
