Geodesic restrictions of arithmetic eigenfunctions

Abstract: Let X be an arithmetic hyperbolic surface, psi a Hecke-Maass form, and l a geodesic segment on X. We obtain a power saving over the local bound of Burq-G'erard-Tzvetkov for the L^2 norm of psi restricted to l, by extending the technique of arithmetic amplification developed by Iwaniec and Sarnak. We also improve the local bounds for various Fourier coefficients of psi along l.


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 \(\ell\).NEWLINENEWLINEPreviously, 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 NEWLINE\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 \(\ell\).
