Global parametrices and dispersive estimates for variable coefficient wave equations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article we consider variable coefficient, time-dependent wave equations. Using phase space methods we construct outgoing parametrices and prove Strichartz-type estimates globally in time. This is done in the context of C^2 metrics which satisfy a weak aymptotic flatness condition at infinity.


Initial value problems for second order hyperbolic inhomogeneous equations with variable coefficients are considered. The purpose of the article is to study the global in time behavior of solutions. Results on Strichartz estimates for second order hyperbolic operators have been published by the second author in a series of articles. The same issues as in the present paper have been studied in an article on Schrödinger equation by the second author [Am. J. Math. 130, No. 3, 571--634 (2008; Zbl 1159.35315)]. There is somehow a parallel discussion with many references to the results and proofs in this article, for instance one adapts here the idea for the outoing parametrix construction. Under some special assumptions on the coefficients, localized energy estimates are obtained and for the half-wave equation the existence of frequency localized outoing parametrices is proved. The rest of the paper is devoted to parametrix constructions and Strichartz type estimates largely following the above mentioned article.
