Inner product of eigenfunctions over curves and generalized periods for compact Riemannian surfaces

Authors: Yakun Xi

Abstract: We show that for a smooth closed curve

g a m m a

on a compact Riemannian surface without boundary, the inner product of two eigenfunctions

e_{l} a m b d a

and

e_{m} u

restricted to

g a m m a

,

| i n t e_{l} a m b d a o v e r l i n e e_{m} u, d s |

, is bounded by

m i n l a m b d a^{f} r a c 12, m u^{f} r a c 12

. Furthermore, given

0 < c < 1

, if

0 < m u < c l a m b d a

, we prove that

i n t e_{l} a m b d a o v e r l i n e e_{m} u, d s = O (m u^{f} r a c 14)

, which is sharp on the sphere

S^{2}

. These bounds unify the period integral estimates and the

L^{2}

-restriction estimates in an explicit way. Using a similar argument, we also show that the

u

-th order Fourier coefficient of

e_{l} a m b d a

over

g a m m a

is uniformly bounded if

0 < u < c l a m b d a

, which generalizes a result of Reznikov for compact hyperbolic surfaces, and is sharp on both

S^{2}

and the flat torus

m a t h b b T^{2}

. Moreover, we show that the analogs of our results also hold in higher dimensions for the inner product of eigenfunctions over hypersurfaces.
