Density of zero sets for sums of eigenfunctions

Publication date 15 November 2021

Abstract: We consider linear combinations of eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold

(M, g)

and investigate a density property of their zero sets. More precisely, let

f = s u m_{k = 1}^{m} a_{k} p h i_{l a m b d a_{j_{k}}}

, where

- D e l t a_{g} p h i_{l a m b d a} = l a m b d a p h i_{l a m b d a}

. Denoting by

Z_{f}

the zero-set of

f

, we show that for any

x i n M

,

d i s t (x, Z_{f}) l e q C (m) l a m b d a_{j_{1}}^{- 1 / 2}

. The proof is based on a new integral Harnack-type estimate for positive solutions of higher order elliptic PDEs.
