Upper and lower bounds for normal derivatives of spectral clusters of Dirichlet Laplacian (Q645399)

The author shows an upper and a lower bound for normal derivatives of spectral clusters \(u=\chi_{\lambda}^s f\) of the Dirichlet Laplacian \(\Delta_M\) on a smooth compact manifold \(M\) with boundary \(Y=\partial M:\) \[ c_s \lambda \|u\|_{L^2(M)}\leq \|\partial_{\nu}u\|_{L^2(\partial M)} \leq C_s \lambda \|u\|_{L^2(M)}. \] The upper bound is valid for any Riemannian manifold whereas the lower bound is satisfied only for small values of \(s\) provided that \(M\) has no trapped geodesics.
