Uniform Eigenfunction Observability under Mixed Reflection Monodromy

Abstract

We study uniform observability for Laplace eigenfunctions with mixed boundary conditions whose reflection signs do not define a scalar character. For the DDN/NND sectors of the equilateral rhombus, the resulting ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ monodromy is resolved by a degree-two branched arithmetic translation surface of genus two. On an explicit class of admissible open sets, every exact mixed-sector eigenfunction satisfies a local $L^2$ lower bound uniform in the eigenvalue, multiplicity, and choice within the eigenspace. The proof combines exact unfolding, semiclassical defect measures, and the Veech dichotomy to exclude concentration near the saddle/conic network and inside periodic cylinders. We also obtain a reflection-overlap observability result for the full rhombus and isolate the remaining saddle-network obstruction for arbitrary open observation sets.
