Average growth of the spectral function on a Riemannian manifold

Abstract

We study average growth of the spectral function of the Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold. Two types of averaging are considered: with respect to the spectral parameter and with respect to a point on a manifold. We obtain as well related estimates of the growth of the pointwise zeta-function along vertical lines in the complex plane. Some examples and open problems regarding almost periodic properties of the spectral function are also discussed.
