Abstract: Suppose that $M$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and $u$ is an $L^2$-normalized Dirichlet eigenfunction with eigenvalue $lambda$. Let $psi$ be its normal derivative at the boundary. Scaling considerations lead one to expect that the $L^2$ norm of $psi$ will grow as $lambd{a}^{1/2}$ as $lambdaoinfty$. We prove an upper bound of the form $|psi{|}_2^{2}leqClambda$ for any Riemannian manifold, and a lower bound $clambdaleq|psi{|}_2^2$ provided that $M$ has no trapped geodesics (see the main Theorem for a precise statement). Here $c$ and $C$ are positive constants that depend on $M$, but not on $lambda$. The proof of the upper bound is via a Rellich-type estimate and is rather simple, while the lower bound is proved via a positive commutator estimate.
