Averaged Pointwise Bounds for Deformations of Schrodinger Eigenfunctions

Let (M,g) be a n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We consider the magnetic deformations of semiclassical Schrodinger operators on M for a family of magnetic potentials that depends smoothly on $k$ parameters $u$, for $k \geq n$, and satisfies a generic admissibility condition. Define the deformed Schrodinger eigenfunctions to be the $u$-parametrized semiclassical family of functions on M that is equal to the unitary magnetic Schrodinger propagator applied to the Schrodinger eigenfunctions. The main result of this article states that the $L^2$ norms in $u$ of the deformed Schrodinger eigenfunctions are bounded above and below by constants, uniformly on $M$ and in $\hbar$. In particular, the result shows that this non-random perturbation "kills" the blow-up of eigenfunctions. We give, as applications, an eigenfunction restriction bound and a quantum ergodicity result.
