Eigenfunctions restriction estimates for curves with nonvanishing geodesic curvatures in compact Riemannian surfaces with nonpositive curvature

Abstract

For $2\leq p<4$, we study the $L^p$ norms of restrictions of eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on smooth compact $2$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. Burq, G\'erard, and Tzvetkov \cite{BurqGerardTzvetkov2007restrictions}, and Hu \cite{Hu2009lp} found the eigenfunction estimates restricted to a curve with nonvanishing geodesic curvatures. We will explain how the proof of the known estimates helps us to consider the case where the given smooth compact Riemannian manifold has nonpositive sectional curvatures. For $p=4$, we will also obtain a logarithmic analogous estimate, by using arguments in Xi and Zhang \cite{XiZhang2017improved}, Sogge \cite{Sogge2017ImprovedCritical}, and Bourgain \cite{Bourgain1991Besicovitch}.
