Uniform Non-Localization under Robin Boundary Perturbations: Spectral Splitting and Bounded Eigenspace Complexity
Abstract
We study the high-energy spectral effect of Robin boundary perturbations on complete Laplace eigenspaces and its consequences for eigenfunction non-localization. Highly degenerate Neumann levels generally split under Robin perturbation, but this splitting need not produce a simple spectrum: distinct modal classes may still contribute to the same Robin eigenvalue. We prove that, for every fixed positive Robin parameter, the number of modal classes contributing to any one eigenvalue is uniformly bounded over the spectrum on the equilateral triangle and on every rectangle with rational squared aspect ratio. On the equilateral triangle, for all sufficiently small Robin parameters, the Neumann complete-eigenspace observation estimate persists with a constant uniform both in the eigenvalue and in the boundary parameter. For an arbitrary fixed positive Robin parameter, a high-frequency shell-splitting analysis gives a spectrum-wide bound on the number of modal classes contributing to any one Robin eigenvalue. In the nonsquare rectangular case, the corresponding splitting is governed by a strongly convex profile on weighted quadratic shells. Since each modal class has uniformly boundedplane-wave complexity, the spectral complexity bound implies observation on every measurable set of positive measure through a multidimensional Turán--Nazarov inequality, without a frequency-separation assumption. Thus, spectral simplicity is not required for complete-eigenspace non-localization: uniformly bounded spectral coincidence complexity is sufficient.
