Abstract: In this paper we analyse the boundedness of solutions $phi$ of the wave equation in the Oppenheimer--Snyder model of gravitational collapse in both the case of a reflective dust cloud and a permeating dust cloud. We then proceed to define the scattering map on this space-time, and look at the implications of our boundedness results on this scattering map. Specifically, it is shown that the energy of $phi$ remains uniformly bounded going forward in time and going backwards in time for both the reflective and the permeating cases, and it is then shown that the scattering map is bounded going forwards, but not backwards, and is therefore not surjective onto the space of finite energy on $mathcal{I}^{+}cupmathcal{H}^{+}$. Thus there does not exist a backwards scattering map from finite energy radiation fields on $mathcal{I}^{+}cupmathcal{H}^{+}$ to finite energy radiation fields on $mathcal{I}^{-}$. We will then contrast this with the situation for scattering in pure Schwarzschild.

Review text

The author analyses the boundedness of solutions, \(\phi\), of the linear wave equation in the Oppenheimer-Snyder model of gravitational collapse, in both the case of a reflective dust cloud and a permeating dust cloud. He then proceeds to define the scattering map on this space-time and looks at the implications of his boundedness results on this scattering map. Specifically, it is shown that the energy of \(\phi\) remains uniformly bounded going forwards in time and going backwards in time for both the reflecting and permeating cases. It is then shown that the scattering map is bounded going forwards, but not backwards. Hence, the scattering map is not surjective onto the space of finite energy on \(I^+ \cup \, H^+\). Thus, there does not exist a backwards scattering map from finite energy radiation fields on \(I^+ \cup \, H^+\) to finite energy radiation fields on \(I^-\). The author then contrasts this with the the situation for scattering in pure Schwarzschild space-time.
