Abstract: We study stationary solutions of the damped wave equation on a compact and smooth Riemannian manifold without boundary. In the high frequency limit, we prove that a sequence of

-damped stationary solutions cannot be completely concentrated in small neighborhoods of a small fixed hyperbolic subset made of

-damped trajectories of the geodesic flow. The article also includes an appendix (by S. Nonnenmacher and the author) where we establish the existence of an inverse logarithmic strip without eigenvalues below the real axis, under a pressure condition on the set of undamped trajectories.

Review text

Let \((M,g)\) be a smooth compact, connected Riemanian manifold without boundary of dimension \(d \geq 2\). In this paper the author considers the solutions \(u_\tau \in L^2(M)\) of the equation \[ (-\Delta_g -\tau^2 -2_{ia(x)\tau})u_\tau =0, a\geq 0 \] (which come from the solutions of the damped wave equations of the form \(v = e^{-it \tau} u_\tau\)). Motivated by earlier results by \textit{J. A. Toth} and \textit{S. Zelditch} [Ann. Henri Poincaré 4, No. 2, 343--368 (2003; Zbl 1028.58028)], \textit{N. Burq} and \textit{M. Zworski} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 17, No. 2, 443--471 (2004; Zbl 1050.35058)], \textit{H. Christianson} [J. Funct. Anal. 246, No. 2, 145--195 (2007; Zbl 1119.58018)], the author studies the concentration in shrinking tubes of size \(hv, h \, 1/\tau\) (where \(0 < v < 1/2\)) around more general hyperbolic subsets than in the above cited works, under conditions of negative topological pressure. The method of proofs uses ideas from the works by \textit{N. Anantharaman} and \textit{S. Nonnenmacher} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 57, No. 7, 2465--2523 (2007; Zbl 1145.81033)], \textit{S. Nonnenmacher} and \textit{M. Zworski} [Acta Math. 203, No. 2, 149--233 (2009; Zbl 1226.35061)] and \textit{N. Anantharaman} [Geom. Funct. Anal. 20, No. 3, 593--626 (2010; Zbl 1205.35173)]. This article includes also an appendix by S. Nonnenmacher and the author where they establish the existence of an inverse logarithmic strip without eigenvalues below the real axis under a prensure condition on the set of undamped trajectories.
