Wave decay on convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds

Abstract: For convex co-compact hyperbolic quotients

, we analyze the long-time asymptotic of the solution of the wave equation

u (t)

with smooth compactly supported initial data

f = (f_{0}, f_{1})

. We show that, if the Hausdorff dimension

d e l t a

of the limit set is less than

n / 2

, then

u (t) = C_{d} e l t a (f) e^{(d e l t a - d e m i) t} / G a m m a (d e l t a - n / 2 + 1) + e^{(d e l t a - d e m i) t} R (t)

where

C_{d e l t a} (f) i n C^{i} n f t y (X)

and

| | R (t) | | = m c O (t^{- i n f t y})

. We explain, in terms of conformal theory of the conformal infinity of

X

, the special cases

d e l t a i n n / 2 - n

where the leading asymptotic term vanishes. In a second part, we show for all

e p s > 0

the existence of an infinite number of resonances (and thus zeros of Selberg zeta function) in the strip

- n d e l t a - e p s < R e (l a) < d e l t a

. As a byproduct we obtain a lower bound on the remainder

R (t)

for generic initial data

f

.
