Abstract: We study the concentration problem on compact two-point homogeneous spaces of finite expansions of eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator using large sieve methods. We derive upper bounds for concentration in terms of the maximum Nyquist density. Our proof uses estimates of the spherical harmonics basis coefficients of certain zonal filters and an ordering result for Jacobi polynomials for arguments close to one.


The main goal of the authors is to extend the results of \textit{M.~Speckbacher} and \textit{T.~Hrycak} [J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 26, No.~3, Paper No.~38, 18~p. (2020; Zbl 1442.42067)] from the 2-sphere to spheres in arbitrary dimensions and, more generally, to compact two-point homogeneous Riemannian manifolds. In the classical sense, given the trigonometric polynomial \(f(t)=\sum_{k=1}^K\,a_k\,e^{2\,\pi\,i\,k\,t}\), a positive measure $\mu$ and \(0<\delta<1\), then (from an unpublished work by Bombieri) \begin{align*} \int_0^1\,|f(t)|^2\,dt\leq (K+2/\delta)\, \sup_{t\in[0,1]}\,\mu([t,t+\delta])\,\int_0^1\,|f(t)|^2\,dt. \end{align*} If \(\mu=\chi_\Omega(t)\,dt\), then this becomes the concentration estimate \begin{align*} \int_\Omega\,|f(t)|^2\,dt\leq 3\,\rho(\Omega,K) \, \sup_{t\in[0,1]}\,\mu([t,t+\delta])\,\int_0^1\,|f(t)|^2\,dt \end{align*} where \(\rho(\Omega,K)=K\,\sup_{t\in[0,1]}\,\mu(\Omega\cap[t,t+1/K])\) is the maximum Nyquist density. In a series of papers known as the Bell-lab papers, Landau, Slepian and Pollak developed a uniform approach for ``concentration problems. In the more general setting of this paper, \(dt\) is replaced by the Haar measure, the trigonometric polynomials are replaced by finite spherical harmonics expansions, the intervals \([t, t + 1/K]\) are replaced by geodesic caps and the maximum Nyquist density is defined in terms of the geodesic caps. The authors' proofs ``use estimates of the spherical harmonics basis coefficients of certain zonal filters and an ordering result for Jacobi polynomials for arguments close to one.
