Endpoint resolvent estimates for compact Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

We prove L^p→L^p′ bounds for the resolvent of the Laplace–Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n in the endpoint case p=2(n+1)/(n+3). It has the same behavior with respect to the spectral parameter z as its Euclidean analogue, due to Kenig–Ruiz–Sogge, provided a parabolic neighborhood of the positive half-line is removed. This is region is optimal, for instance, in the case of a sphere.
