We give estimates for the $L^p$ norm ($2\leq p \leq +\infty$) of the restriction to a curve of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace Beltrami operator on a Riemannian surface. If the curve is a geodesic, we show that on the sphere these estimates are sharp. If the curve has non vanishing geodesic curvature, we can improve our results. We also show how our approach apply to higher dimensional manifolds.
We study nonlinear Schrödinger equations, posed on a three dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$. We prove global existence of strong $H^1$ solutions on $M=S^3$ and $M=S^2\times S^1$ as far as the nonlinearity is defocusing and sub-quintic and thus we extend the results of Ginibre-Velo and Bourgain who treated the cases of the Euclidean space $\R^3$ and the flat torus $\T^3$ respectively. The main ingredient in our argument is a new set of multilinear estimates for spherical harmonics.
The purpose of this note is to extend to any space dimension the bilinear estimate for eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on a compact manifold (without boundary) obtained in a previous work in dimension 2. We also give some related trilinear estimates.
We study the cubic non linear Schrödinger equation (NLS) on compact surfaces. On the sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ and more generally on Zoll surfaces, we prove that, for $s>1/4$, NLS is uniformly well-posed in $H^s$, which is sharp on the sphere. The main ingredient in our proof is a sharp bilinear estimate for Laplace spectral projectors on compact surfaces. On étudie l'équation de Schrödinger non linéaire (NLS) sur une surface compacte.Sur la sphère $\mathbb{S}^2$ et plus généralement sur toute surface de Zoll, on démontre que pour $s>1/4$, NLS est uniformément bien posée dans $H^s$, ce qui est optimalsur la sphère. Le principal ingrédient de notre démonstration est une estimation bilinéaire pour les projecteurs spectraux du laplacien sur une surface compacte.
