Abstract

We prove sharp pointwise bounds on quasimodes of semiclassical Schrödinger operators with arbitrary smooth real potentials in dimension two. This end-point estimate was left open in the general study of semiclassical $L^p$ bounds conducted by Koch et al. [2]. However, we show that the results of [2] imply the two-dimensional end-point estimate by scaling and localization.
