Abstract

Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension n. Let φ_λ be an eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator corresponding to an eigenvalue λ. We show that the volume of {φ_λ > 0} ∪ B is ≥ C|B|/λⁿ, where B is any ball centered at a point of the nodal set. We apply this result to prove that each nodal domain contains a ball of radius ≥ C/λⁿ. The results in this paper extend previous results of Nazarov, Polterovich, Sodin and of the author.
