Geometric counting on wavefront real spherical spaces

Abstract

We provide $L^p$-versus $L^{\infty }$-bounds for eigenfunctions on a real spherical space $Z$ of wavefront type. It is shown that these bounds imply a non-trivial error term estimate for lattice counting on $Z$. The paper also serves as an introduction to geometric counting on spaces of the mentioned type. Section 7 on higher rank is new and extends the result from v1 to higher rank. Final version. To appear in Acta Math. Sinica.
