题目: A geometric covering lemma and nodal sets of eigenfunctions

Abstract: In this talk, we mainly present a geometric covering lemma which is akin to, but quite different from,  the classical Besicovitch covering lemma. This covering lemma is closely related to the growth property of eigenfunctions. As an application, we will sharpen some earlier estimates of Donnelly and C. Fefferman, Chanillo and Muckenhoupt, and Lu on the BMO norm estimates for the logarithm of eigenfunctions and lower bound of volume estimates of the nonzero sets of eigenfunctions on Riemannian manifolds. This is a joint work with Xiaolong Han.
