Abstract
The beautiful and historical note of Louis [B78], is about one of the most important results on the behavior in the complex domain of the eigenfunctions of a self-adjoint non negative elliptic operator P on a real analytic compact manifold M. Let (f k ) be an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions of P with Pf k = λ k f k . Under a convexity assumption on the principal symbol p(x, ξ) of P, the result asserts that there exists a natural family of strictly pseudo-convex tubular neighborhoods B ɛ of M in its complexification X such that a function f = ∑ k a k f k on M extends holomorphically in B ɛ , with a L 2 boundary value on ∂ B ɛ , iff the series \(\sum _{k}\lambda _{k}^{-(n-1)/2}e^{2\varepsilon \lambda _{k}}\vert a_{ k}\vert ^{2}\) is convergent. This result applies in particular to the Laplace operator in the Riemannian case. This work of Louis has been a source of inspiration for many authors, and is the starting point of the numerous applications of the properties of analytic continuation of eigenfunctions: nodal geometry, analytic wave front sets, tunneling estimates, random-waves…The proof of the above result suggested by Louis involves FIO’s in the complex domain.
