We provide a simple proof of a result of Rouby-Sj\"ostrand-Ngoc \cite{RSN} and Deleporte \cite{Deleporte}, which asserts that if the K\"ahler potential is real analytic then the Bergman kernel is an \textit{analytic kernel} meaning that its amplitude is an \textit{analytic symbol} and its phase is given by the polarization of the K\"ahler potential. This in particular shows that in the analytic case the Bergman kernel accepts an asymptotic expansion in a fixed neighborhood of the diagonal with an exponentially small remainder. The proof we provide is based on a linear recursive formula of L. Charles \cite{Cha03} on the Bergman kernel coefficients which is similar to, but simpler than, the ones found in \cite{BBS}., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1705.09281

We prove a new off-diagonal asymptotic of the Bergman kernels associated to tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a compact Kähler manifold. We show that if the Kähler potential is real analytic, then the Bergman kernel accepts a complete asymptotic expansion in a neighborhood of the diagonal of shrinking size $k^{-\frac 14}$. These improve the earlier results in the subject for smooth potentials, where an expansion exists in a $k^{-\frac 12}$ neighborhood of the diagonal. We obtain our results by finding upper bounds of the form $C^m m!^{2}$ for the Bergman coefficients $b_m(x, \bar y)$, which is an interesting problem on its own. We find such upper bounds using the method of [3]. We also show that sharpening these upper bounds would improve the rate of shrinking neighborhoods of the diagonal x = y in our results. In the special case of metrics with local constant holomorphic sectional curvatures, we obtain off-diagonal asymptotic in a fixed (as $k \to \infty$) neighborhood of the diagonal, which recovers a result of Berman [2] (see Remark 3.5 of [2] for higher dimensions). In this case, we also find an explicit formula for the Bergman kernel mod $O(e^{-k \delta } )$.

This is a note on a paper of De Simoi–Kaloshin–Wei. We show that by combining their techniques with the wave trace invariants of Guillemin–Melrose and the heat trace invariants of Zayed for the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions, one can extend the Dirichlet/Neumann spectral rigidity results of De Simoi–Kaloshin–Wei to the case of Robin boundary conditions. We will consider the same generic subset as did by De Simoi–Kaloshin–Wei of smooth strictly convex ℤ2-symmetric planar domains sufficiently close to a circle, however we pair them with arbitrary ℤ2-symmetric smooth Robin functions on the boundary and of course allow deformations of Robin functions as well.

We give an alternate proof of the existence of the asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel associated with the kth tensor powers of a positive line bundle L in a \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}\)-neighborhood of the diagonal using elementary methods. We use the observation that after rescaling the Kahler potential \(k\varphi \) in a \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{k}}\)-neighborhood of a given point, the potential becomes an asymptotic perturbation of the Bargmann–Fock metric. We then prove that the Bergman kernel is also an asymptotic perturbation of the Bargmann–Fock Bergman kernel.

We prove a new quantum variance estimate for toral eigenfunctions. As an application, we show that, given any orthonormal basis of toral eigenfunctions and any smooth embedded hypersurface with nonvanishing principal curvatures, there exists a density one subsequence of eigenfunctions that equidistribute along the hypersurface. This is an analogue of the Quantum Ergodic Restriction theorems in the case of the flat torus, which in particular verifies the Bourgain-Rudnick's conjecture on $L^2$-restriction estimates for a density one subsequence of eigenfunctions in any dimension. Using our quantum variance estimates, we also obtain equidistribution of eigenfunctions against measures whose supports have Fourier dimension larger than $d-2$. In the end, we also describe a few quantitative results specific to dimension $2$.

The goal of this article is to draw new applications of small scale quantum ergodicity in nodal sets of eigenfunctions. We show that if quantum ergodicity holds on balls of shrinking radius $r(\lambda) \to 0$, then one can achieve improvements on the recent upper bounds of Logunov and Logunov-Malinnikova on the size of nodal sets, according to a certain power of $r(\lambda)$. We also show that the order of vanishing results of Donnelly-Fefferman and Dong can be improved. Since by the results of Han and Hezari-Rivi\`ere small scale QE holds on negatively curved manifolds at logarithmically shrinking rates, we get logarithmic improvements on such manifolds for the above measurements of eigenfunctions. We also get $o(1)$ improvements for manifolds with ergodic geodesic flows. Our results work for a full density subsequence of any given orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions., Comment: 19 pages. Comments are greatly appreciated

We prove quantitative equidistribution properties for orthonormal bases of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the rational $d$-torus. We show that the rate of equidistribution of such eigenfunctions is of polynomial decay. We also prove that equidistribution of eigenfunctions holds for symbols supported in balls with a radius shrinking at a polynomial rate., This article is based on the appendix of our previous preprint: arXiv:1411.4078. We have included improvements and have simplified the proofs (no semiclassical/microlocal techniques are necessary)

We prove that ellipses are infinitesimally spectrally rigid among C 1 domains with the symmetries of the ellipse. An isospectral deformation of a plane domain 0 is a one-parameter family t of plane domains for which the spectrum of the Euclidean Dirichlet (or Neumann) Laplaciant is constant (including multiplicities). The deformation is said to be a C 1 deformation through C 1 domains if each t is a C 1 domain and the map t ! t is C 1 . We parameterize the boundary @t as the image under the map

We prove that bounded real analytic domains in $${\mathbb{R}^{n}}$$ , with the symmetries of an ellipsoid and with one axis length fixed, are determined by their Dirichlet or Neumann eigenvalues among other bounded real analytic domains with the same symmetries and axis length. Some non-degeneracy conditions are also imposed on the class of domains. It follows that bounded, convex analytic domains are determined by their spectra among other such domains. This seems to be the first positive result for the well-known Kac problem, “Can one hear the shape of a drum?”, in higher dimensions.

We show that trapezoids with identical Neumann spectra are congruent up to rigid motions of the plane. The proof is based on heat trace invariants and some new wave trace invariants associated to certain diffractive billiard trajectories. The reason we can only treat the Neumann case is that the wave trace is "more singular" for the Neumann case compared to the Dirichlet case. This is a new observation which is interesting on its own., Comment: 22 pages

We prove an analogue of Sogge’s local L p estimates for L p norms of restrictions of eigenfunctions to submanifolds, and use it to show that for quantum ergodic eigenfunctions one can get improvements of the results of Burq–Gerard–Tzvetkov, Hu, and Chen–Sogge. The improvements are logarithmic on negatively curved manifolds (without boundary) and by o(1) for manifolds (with or without boundary) with ergodic geodesic flows. In the case of ergodic billiards with piecewise smooth boundary, we get o(1) improvements on $${L^\infty}$$ estimates of Cauchy data away from a shrinking neighborhood of the corners, and as a result using the methods of Ghosh et al., Jung and Zelditch, Jung and Zelditch, we get that the number of nodal domains of 2-dimensional ergodic billiards tends to infinity as $${\lambda \to \infty}$$ . These results work only for a full density subsequence of any given orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions. We also present an extension of the L p estimates of Burq–Gerard–Tzvetkov, Hu, Chen–Sogge for the restrictions of Dirichlet and Neumann eigenfunctions to compact submanifolds of the interior of manifolds with piecewise smooth boundary. This part does not assume ergodicity on the manifolds.

In this short note we show that the lower bounds of Mangoubi on the inner radius of nodal domains can be improved for quantum ergodic sequences of eigenfunctions, according to a certain power of the radius of shrinking balls on which the eigenfunctions equidistribute. We prove such improvements using a quick application of our recent results (arXiv:1606.02057), which give modified growth estimates for eigenfunctions that equidistribute on small balls. Since by the results of Han and Hezari-Rivi\`ere small scale QE holds for negatively curved manifolds on logarithmically shrinking balls, we get logarithmic improvements on the inner radius of such manifolds. We also get improvements for manifolds with ergodic geodesic flows. In addition using the small scale equidistribution results of Lester-Rudnick, one gets polynomial betterments of for toral eigenfunctions in dimensions $n \geq 3$. The results work only for a full density subsequence of eigenfunctions.

For small range of $p>2$, we improve the $L^p$ bounds of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on negatively curved manifolds. Our improvement is by a power of logarithm for a full density sequence of eigenfunctions. We also derive improvements on the size of the nodal sets. Our proof is based on a quantum ergodicity property of independent interest, which holds for families of symbols supported in balls whose radius shrinks at a logarithmic rate., 27 pages. Appendix B on toral eigenfunctions is removed from the original posting. The background on L^p norms and nodal sets is updated

In this paper, we study the boundary traces of eigenfunctions on the boundary of a smooth and bounded domain. An identity derived by B\"acker, F\"urstburger, Schubert, and Steiner, expressing (in some sense) the asymptotic completeness of the set of boundary traces in a frequency window of size O(1), is proved both for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. We then prove a semiclassical generalization of this identity., Comment: This is the published version

We prove that radial, monotonic, superexponentially decaying potentials in R^n, n greater than or equal to 1 odd, are determined by the resonances of the associated semiclassical Schrodinger operator among all superexponentially decaying potentials in R^n., 8 pages

We prove a natural inequality which implies the known lower bounds for the $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of nodal sets for smooth compact manifolds., Comment: To appear in Analysis and Partial Differential Equations

We prove that the spectrum of an n-dimensional semiclassical radial Schr\"odinger operator determines the potential within a large class of potentials for which we assume no symmetry or analyticity. Our proof is based on the first two semiclassical trace invariants and on the isoperimetric inequality., Comment: 9 pages. This is a revision which includes a new section about how to handle the critical energy levels

In this article we study the semiclassical distribution of the complex zeros of the eigenfunctions of the 1D Schrodinger operators for the class of real polynomial potentials of even degree, with fixed energy level, E. We show that as h n → 0 the zeros tend to concentrate on the union of some level curves ℜ (S (z m , z)) = c m where S(zm,z)=∫zmzV(t)−Edt is the complex action, and z m is a turning point. We also calculate these curves for some symmetric and nonsymmetric one-well and double-well potentials. The example of the nonsymmetric double-well potential shows that we can obtain different pictures of complex zeros for different subsequences of h n .

In this article we improve some of the inverse spectral results proved by Guillemin and Uribe in \cite{GU}. They proved that under some symmetry assumptions on the potential $V(x)$, the Taylor expansion of $V(x)$ near a non-degenerate global minimum can be recovered from the knowledge of the low-lying eigenvalues of the associated Schr\"odinger operator in $\mathbb R^n$. We prove some similar inverse spectral results using fewer symmetry assumptions. We also show that in dimension 1, no symmetry assumption is needed to recover the Taylor coefficients of $V(x)$. We establish our results by finding some explicit formulas for wave invariants at the bottom of the well., Comment: 22 pages

Original manuscript September 5, 2011, We prove that there exists a pair of non-isospectral 1D semiclassical Schrödinger operators whose spectra agree up to O(h∞). In particular, all their semiclassical trace invariants are the same. Our proof is based on an idea of Fulling–Kuchment and Hadamard's variational formula applied to suitable perturbations of the harmonic oscillator., National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant DMS-1005696), National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant DMS-0969745)
