Local smoothing for scattering manifolds with hyperbolic trapped sets (Q842433)

For a noncompact complete Riemannian manifold, an effective way to understand its spectrum is to study its resolvent. A particular nice class of manifolds to which the method of microlocal analysis can be applied is the class of scattering manifolds, introduced by Richard Melrose. The author proves an estimate for the resolvent of a scattering manifold with a hyperbolic trapped set and deduces local smoothing for \(L^2\)-functions.
