| contents | We study two-dimensional spatio-spectral limiting operators \[ T_R := P_{D(R)} B_S P_{D(R)} : L^2(\mathbb{R}^2) \rightarrow L^2(\mathbb{R}^2), \] where $D(R)$ is a disk of radius $R>1$, $S\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a domain with well-shaped boundary, $P_{D(R)}$ is the orthogonal projection on the subspace of functions supported on $D(R)$, and $B_S$ is the orthogonal projection on the subspace of functions whose Fourier transform is supported on $S$. We construct a disk-adapted wave-packet frame for $L^2(D(R))$ with frame bounds uniform in $R$ using Gevrey-$s$ cutoffs ($s>1$) to obtain near-exponential Fourier localization. Exploiting these localization estimates, we bound the size of the eigenvalue plunge-region for $T_R$ and prove that for each $s>1$ and each $\varepsilon\in(0,1/2)$, \[ \#\{k : λ_k(T_R)\in(\varepsilon,1-\varepsilon)\} = O\!\left(R (\log(R/\varepsilon))^{1+2s}\right), \] with constants depending on $s$ and the geometric parameters of $S$. This bound improves existing plunge-region estimates in the classical setting where both domains are disks, when $\varepsilon$ scales like $R^{-ν}$ for a fixed $ν> 0$. By an affine transformation, the same result holds if $D(R)$ is a scaled ellipse. |
