Introduction Let M be a compact connected manifold, with C ~ Riemannian metric. The Laplacian A of M is a negative definite, setf-adjoint, elliptic operator. Suppose that Fis a real eigenfunction of A with eigenvalue 2,A F = - 2F. The nodal set N of F is defined to be the set of points x ~ M where F(x)= 0. The unique continuation theorem \[1\] states that F never vanishes to infinite order. This places strong restrictions on the zeroes of F. By developing the machinery of Aronszajn \[1\], we establish a number of quantitative results concerning the nodal set. These theorems eem most interesting for large 2. One of our main conclusions is Theorem 1.1, The eigenfunction F vanishes at most to order c\[//2, for any point in M. When M is two dimensional, it follows from the work of Cheng \[5\], that F vanishes at most to order c2.
