Bounds of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds. (English) Zbl 0991.58006

Let \( \varphi \) be an eigenfunction of the Laplacian with eigenvalue \( \lambda \not= 0 \).
The author proves that \[ \|\varphi \|_{\infty} \leq c _1 \cdot \lambda ^{\frac{n-1}{4}} \|\varphi \|_2 \] where \( n \) is the dimension of \( M \) and \( c _1 \) depends only upon a bound for the absolute value of the sectional curvature of \( M \) and a lower bound for the injectivity radius of \( M \).
