Abstract

We study $L^p$-$L^q$ bounds on the spectral projection operator $\Pi_\lambda$ associated to the Hermite operator $H=|x|^2-\Delta$ in $\mathbb R^d$. We are mainly concerned with a localized operator $\chi_E\Pi_\lambda\chi_E$ for a subset $E\subset\mathbb R^d$ and undertake the task of characterizing the sharp $L^p$--$L^q$ bounds. We obtain sharp bounds in extended ranges of $p,q$. First, we provide a complete characterization of the sharp $L^p$--$L^q$ bounds when $E$ is away from $\sqrt{\lambda}\mathbb S^{d-1}$. Secondly, we obtain the sharp bounds as the set $E$ gets close to $\sqrt\lambda\mathbb S^{d-1}$. Thirdly, we extend the range of $p,q$ for which the operator $\Pi_\lambda$ is uniformly bounded from $L^p(\mathbb R^d)$ to $L^q(\mathbb R^d)$.
