Lower bounds for the nodal length of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian (Q5936998)

Authors's abstract: We prove lower bounds for the length of the zero set of an eigenfunction of the Laplace operator on a Riemann surface: in particular, in nonnegative curvature, or when the associated eigenvalue is large, we give a lower bound which involves only the square root of the eigenvalue and the area of the manifold (modulo a numerical constant, this lower bound is sharp).
