Abstract

We use a purely dynamical argument on circle maps to improve a result in our accompanying article, [5], on real analytic surfaces possessing eigenfunctions that achieve maximal sup norm bounds. The improved result is that there exists a ‘pole’ so that all geodesics emanating from are smoothly closed.
