Abstract: We announce asymptotic lower bounds for the spectral function of the Laplacian and for the remainder in the local Weyl's law on Riemannian manifolds. In the negatively curved case, methods of thermodynamic formalism are applied to improve the estimates. Our results develop and extend the unpublished thesis of A. Karnaukh. We discuss some ideas of the proofs; for complete proofs see our extended paper on the subject.
