Propagation of smallness and spectral estimates

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show that the spectral projector estimates for Laplace operators can be deduced from Logunov-Malinnikova's Propagation of smallness estimates for harmonic functions [11, 10, 9]. The main point is to pass from the local estimates obtained in [4] (on a compact manifold) to global estimates. We also state classical consequences in terms of observability and control for heat equations, which are direct consequences of these spectral projector estimates..
