Diffractive propagation on conic manifolds (Q513798)

In the interesting survey under review, the author presents some applications and extensions of the joint results with Richard Melrose regarding propagation of singularities for solutions to the wave equation on manifolds with conical singularities. The results given mainly concern: The local decay of energy on noncompact manifolds with diffractive trapped orbits [\textit{D. Baskin} and \textit{J. Wunsch}, J. Differ. Geom. 95, No. 2, 183--214 (2013; Zbl 1296.53075)]; Singularities of the wave trace created by diffractive closed geodesics [\textit{G. A. Ford} and \textit{J. Wunsch}, Adv. Math. 304, 1330--1385 (2017; Zbl 1378.53050)]; The distribution of scattering resonances associated to such closed geodesics (joint work with Luc Hillairet).
