“…In the context of subelliptic operators on compact manifolds, "weighted spectral cluster estimates" were first obtained in the seminal work of Cowling and Sikora [CoSi] for a distinguished sub-Laplacian on SU(2), leading to a sharp multiplier theorem in that case; their technique was then applied to many different frameworks [CoKSi,CCMS,M2,ACMM]. However, the general theory developed in [CoSi], based on spectral cluster estimates involving a single weight function, does not seem to be directly applicable to the spherical Grushin operator L d,k (which, differently from the sub-Laplacian of [CoSi], is not invariant under a transitive group of isometries of the underlying manifold).…”
