Integrals of eigenfunctions over curves in surfaces of nonpositive curvature

Publication date 12 February 2017

Abstract: Let

(M, g)

be a compact, 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Let

D e l t a_{g}

be the Laplace-Beltrami operator corresponding to the metric

g

on

M

, and let

e_{l} a m b d a

be

L^{2}

-normalized eigenfunctions of

D e l t a_{g}

with eigenvalue

l a m b d a

, i.e. [ -Delta_g e_lambda = lambda^2 e_lambda. ] We prove [ left| int_{mathbb R} b(t) e_lambda (gamma(t)) , dt ight| = o(1) quad ext{ as } lambda o infty ] where

b

is a smooth, compactly supported function on

m a t h b b R

and

g a m m a

is a curve parametrized by arc-length whose geodesic curvature

k a p p a (g a m m a (t))

avoids two critical curvatures

m a t h b f k (g a m m a'^{p} e r p (t))

and

m a t h b f k (- g a m m a'^{p e r p} (t))

for each

t i n o p e r a t o r n a m e s u p p b

.

m a t h b f k (v)

denotes the curvature of a circle with center taken to infinity along the geodesic ray in direction

- v

.
