Abstract

We establish $L^q$ bounds on eigenfunctions, and more generally on spectrally localized functions (spectral clusters), associated to a self-adjoint elliptic operator on a compact manifold, under the assumption that the coefficients of the operator are of regularity $C^s$, where $0\le s\le 1$. We also produce examples which show that these bounds are best possible for the case $q=\infty$, and for $2\le q\le q_n$.
