Abstract
We use microlocal and paradifferential techniques to obtain L 8 norm bounds for spectral clusters associated with elliptic second-order operators on two-dimensional manifolds with boundary. The result leads to optimal L q bounds, in the range 2⩽q⩽∞, for L 2 - normalized spectral clusters on bounded domains in the plane and, more generally, for two-dimensional compact manifolds with boundary. We also establish new sharp L q estimates in higher dimensions for a range of exponents q̅n⩽q⩽∞.
