\(L^p\) norms of higher rank eigenfunctions and bounds for spherical functions (Q726754)

The author of the paper under review proves almost sharp upper bounds for the \(L^p\)-norms of eigenfunctions of the full ring of invariant differential operators on a compact locally symmetric space, as well as their restrictions to maximal flat subspaces. The proof combines various techniques from semiclassical analysis with harmonic theory on reductive groups and makes use of new asymptotic bounds for spherical functions that are, in some content, also of independent interest.
