Title: Quantitative unique continuation for L ² -restrictions of eigenfunction sequences

Abstract: Let (M, g) be a C ^∞ compact, Riemannian manifold and uh ∈ C ^∞(M) be a sequence of L 2 -normalized Laplace eigenfunctions with (−h 2∆g − 1)uh = 0. Let H ⊂ M be a smooth hypersurface. In the terminology of Zelditch and Toth, the hypersurface H is good relative to the sequence uh if there exist constants h0(H), CH > 0 such that for all h ∈ (0, h0(H)], Z H |uh| 2 dσH ≥ e −CH/h . In the talk, I will describe some recent results (joint with Yaiza Canzani) on goodness of hypersurfaces relative to eigenfunction sequences and give some applications to nodal sets of eigenfunction sequences.
