Riesz means of the counting function of the Laplace operator on compact manifolds of non-positive curvature (Q329707)

Summary: Let \((M,g)\) be a compact, \(d\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary. Suppose further that \((M,g)\) is either two dimensional and has no conjugate points or \((M,g)\) has non-positive sectional curvature. The goal of this note is to show that the long time parametrix obtained for such manifolds by Bérard can be used to prove a logarithmic improvement for the remainder term of the Riesz means of the counting function of the Laplace operator.
