Semiclassical $L^p$ quasimode restriction estimates in two dimensions

Abstract

We establish the $L^p$ restriction estimates for quasimodes on a smooth curve in two dimensions. Our estimates are sharp for all smooth curves. As an application, we address $L^p$ eigenfunction restriction estimates for Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions on $2$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary and Hermite functions on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. Our method involves a geometric analysis of the contact order between the curve and the bicharacteristic flow of the semiclassical pseudodifferential operator.
