The sharp upper bound for the area of the nodal sets of Dirichlet Laplace eigenfunctions

Abstract

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $C^{1}$ boundary and let $u_\lambda$ be a Dirichlet Laplace eigenfunction in $\Omega$ with eigenvalue $\lambda$. We show that the $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the zero set of $u_\lambda$ does not exceed $C(\Omega)\sqrt{\lambda}$. This result is new even for the case of domains with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary.
