Full-support conjecture for eigenfunction limits on negatively curved manifolds

About 2 years old · traced to

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a compact connected Riemannian manifold of negative sectional curvature. A weak limit μ~\tilde\mu is a weak-* limit of the probability measures ∣uj∣2 dvol⁡g|u_j|^2\,d\operatorname{vol}_g associated with a sequence of Laplacian eigenfunctions. Full-support conjecture. Each weak limit μ~\tilde\mu satisfies

supp⁡μ~=M.\operatorname{supp}\tilde\mu=M.

Equivalently, for each nonempty open set Ω⊂M\Omega\subset M there exists a constant cΩ>0c_\Omega>0 such that

∥u∥L2(Ω)≥cΩ∥u∥L2(M)\|u\|_{L^2(\Omega)}\geq c_\Omega\|u\|_{L^2(M)}

for any Laplacian eigenfunction uu. The conjecture was proved by Dyatlov and Jin for compact hyperbolic surfaces; the present paper proves the corresponding result for compact complex hyperbolic quotients.
