Quantitative uniqueness properties for functions on compact quasi-analytic manifolds

Abstract

In this article, we establish quantitative uniqueness results for a class of functions defined on a quasi-analytic compact manifold $X$ without boundary. This function class is characterized by the iterates of a positive elliptic linear differential operator on $X$ and, notably, encompasses all functions with a finite spectrum. By employing a relatively dense observable set, we extend classical Logvinenko-Sereda-type results to this quasi-analytic framework. Furthermore, we demonstrate that if these functions satisfy a doubling property, observability holds from any measurable set of positive measure. Our results generalise the propagation of smallness from finite sums of eigenfunctions to infinite sums with an appropriate energy-parameter decay, thereby extending recent findings by Kukavica-Li (Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., 2025) to the quasi-analytic setting.
