That is, we find the asymptotic behavior of the Schwartz kernel, $E_\\lambda(x,y)$, of the projection operator from $L^2(M)$ onto the direct sum of eigenspaces with eigenvalue smaller than $\\lambda^2$ as $\\lambda \\to\\infty$. We obtain a uniform logarithmic improvement in the remainder of this asymptotic expansion when the points $x,y$ are close together. This result is a generalization of a work by B\\'erard, which treated the on-diagonal case, $E_\\lambda(x,x)$. The results in this paper allow us to conclude that the rescaled covariance kernel of a monochromatic random wave on a manifold without conjugate points locally converges to a universal scaling limit at an inverse logarithmic rate.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-13T16:42:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35P20" ], "keywords": [ "two-point weyl law", "compact riemannian manifold", "uniform logarithmic improvement", "monochromatic random wave", "conjugate points locally converges" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
