Abstract: We extend a result of the second author cite[Theorem 1.1]{soggekaknik} to dimensions $dgeq3$ which relates the size of $L^p$-norms of eigenfunctions for $2<p<frac2(d+1)d-1$ to the amount of $L^2$-mass in shrinking tubes about unit-length geodesics. The proof uses bilinear oscillatory integral estimates of Lee cite{leebilinear} and a variable coefficient variant of an "$veps$ removal lemma" of Tao and Vargas cite{tv1}. We also use H"ormander's cite{HorOsc} $L^2$ oscillatory integral theorem and the Cartan-Hadamard theorem to show that, under the assumption of nonpositive curvature, the $L^2$-norm of eigenfunctions $e_{l}a$ over unit-length tubes of width $l{a}^{-frac12}$ goes to zero. Using our main estimate, we deduce that, in this case, the $L^p$-norms of eigenfunctions for the above range of exponents is relatively small. As a result, we can slightly improve the known lower bounds for nodal sets in dimensions $dge3$ of Colding and Minicozzi cite{CM} in the special case of (variable) nonpositive curvature.
