Resolvent Estimates for Normally Hyperbolic Trapped Sets

We give pole free strips and estimates for resolvents of semiclassical operators which, on the level of the classical flow, have normally hyperbolic smooth trapped sets of codimension two in phase space. Such trapped sets are structurally stable and our motivation comes partly from considering the wave equation for Kerr black holes and their perturbations, whose trapped sets have precisely this structure. We give applications including local smoothing effects with epsilon derivative loss for the Schr?dinger propagator as well as local energy decay results for the wave equation.     

Closed Geodesics in Homology Classes for Convex Co-Compact Hyperbolic Manifolds

Let be a convex co-compact, torsion-free, discrete group of isometries of real hyperbolic space H ⁿ⁺¹. We compute the asymptotics of the counting function for closed geodesics in homology classes for the quotient manifold X = \H ⁿ⁺¹, under the assumption that H ¹(X, Z) is infinite. Our results imply asymptotic equipartition of geodesics in distinct homology classes.     

Resolvent Estimates for the Laplacian on Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds

Combining results of Cardoso-Vodev [6] and Froese-Hislop [9], we use Mourre’s theory to prove high energy estimates for the boundary values of the weighted resolvent of the Laplacian on an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold. We derive estimates involving a class of pseudo-differential weights which are more natural in the asymptotically hyperbolic geometry than the weights used in [6]. submitted 28/04/05, accepted 26/09/05     

Minimal Geodesics on Manifolds with Discontinuous Metrics

The paper describes some qualitative properties of minimizerson a manifold M endowed with a discontinuous metric. The discontinuityoccurs on a hypersurface disconnecting M. Denote by ₁ and₂ the open subsets of M such that M\ =₁₂. Assume that and are endowed with metrics ·, · ₍₁₎ and ·,·₍₂₎, respectively, such that (i=1, 2) is convex or concave. The existence of a minimizerof the length functional on curves joining two given pointsof M is proved. The qualitative properties obtained allows therefraction law in a very general situation to be described.     

Weighted Strichartz Estimates for the Radial Perturbed Schrödinger Equation on the Hyperbolic Space

In this paper, we study the radial Schrödinger equation perturbed with a rough time dependent potential on the hyperbolic space. It is natural to expect that the curvature of the manifold has some influence on the dispersive properties, indeed we obtain the weighted Strichartz estimates for the perturbed Cauchy problem. We shall notice that our weighted Strichartz estimates makes possible to treat the nonlinearity of the form g(Ω, u) which are unbounded as |Ω| → ∞.     

Strichartz Estimates on Asymptotically de Sitter Spaces

In this article we prove a family of local (in time) weighted Strichartz estimates with derivative losses for the Klein–Gordon equation on asymptotically de Sitter spaces and provide a heuristic argument for the non-existence of a global dispersive estimate on these spaces. The weights in the estimates depend on the mass parameter and disappear in the “large mass” regime. We also provide an application of these estimates to establish small-data global existence for a class of semilinear equations on these spaces.     

Counting Hyperbolic Manifolds with Bounded Diameter

Let ρ _n (V) be the number of complete hyperbolic manifolds of dimension n with volume less than V . Burger et al [Geom. Funct. Anal. 12(6) (2002), 1161–1173.] showed that when n ≥ 4 there exist a, b > 0 depending on the dimension such that aV log V ≤ log ρ _n (V) ≤ bV log V, for V ≫ 0. In this note, we use their methods to bound the number of hyperbolic manifolds with diameter less than d and show that the number grows double-exponentially with volume. Additionally, this bound holds in dimension 3.     

Commensurability of Hyperbolic Manifolds with Geodesic Boundary

Suppose , let M ₁, M ₂ be n-dimensional connected complete finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with nonempty geodesic boundary, and suppose that π₁ (M ₁) is quasi-isometric to π₁ (M ₂) (with respect to the word metric). Also suppose that if n=3, then ∂M ₁ and ∂M ₂ are compact. We show that M ₁ is commensurable with M ₂. Moreover, we show that there exist homotopically equivalent hyperbolic 3-manifolds with non-compact geodesic boundary which are not commensurable with each other. We also prove that if M is as M ₁ above and G is a finitely generated group which is quasi-isometric to π₁ (M), then there exists a hyperbolic manifold with geodesic boundary M′ with the following properties: M′ is commensurable with M, and G is a finite extension of a group which contains π₁ (M′) as a finite-index subgroupMathematics Subject Classification (2000).

Strichartz Estimates for Wave Equations with Coefficients of Sobolev Regularity

Wave packet techniques provide an effective method for proving Strichartz estimates on solutions to wave equations whose coefficients are not smooth. We use such methods to show that the existing results for C ^{1, 1} and C ^{1, α} coefficients can be improved when the coefficients of the wave operator lie in a Sobolev space of sufficiently high order.     

Strichartz Estimates for Schr(?)dinger Equations with Non-degenerate Coefficients

In the present paper,the full range Strichartz estimates for homogeneous Schr(?)dinger equations with non-degenerate and non-smooth coefficients are proved.For inhomogeneous equation,the non-endpoint Strichartz estimates are also obtained.     

Strichartz and Smoothing Estimates for Dispersive Equations with Magnetic Potentials

We prove global smoothing and Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger, wave, Klein–Gordon equations and for the massless and massive Dirac systems, perturbed with singular electromagnetic potentials. We impose a smallness condition on the magnetic part, while the electric part can be large. The decay and regularity assumptions on the coefficients are close to critical.     

Resonances on Some Geometrically Finite Hyperbolic Manifolds

Abstract

We first prove the meromorphic extension to ? for the resolvent of the Laplacian on a class of geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds with infinite volume and we give a polynomial bound on the number of resonances. This class notably contains the quotients Γ\ ⁿ⁺¹ with rational nonmaximal rank cusps previously studied by Froese-Hislop-Perry.

Families Index for Manifolds with Hyperbolic Cusp Singularities

Manifolds with fibered hyperbolic cusp metrics include hyperbolicmanifolds with cusps and locally symmetric spaces of -rank 1. We extend Vaillant's treatment of Dirac-typeoperators associated to these metrics by weakening the hypotheseson the boundary families through the use of Fredholm perturbationsas in the family index theorem of Melrose and Piazza, and bytreating the index of families of such operators. We also extendthe index theorem of Moroianu and Leichtnam–Mazzeo–Piazzato families of perturbed Dirac-type operators associated tofibered cusp metrics (sometimes known as fibered boundary metrics).     

Strichartz Estimates for Schr(o)dinger Equations with Non-degenerate Coefficients

In the present paper, the full range Strichartz estimates for homogeneous Schr(o)dinger equations with non-degenerate and non-smooth coefficients are proved. For inhomogeneous equation, the non-endpoint Strichartz estimates are also obtained.     

Hyperbolic Volume of Manifolds with Geodesic Boundary and Orthospectra

In this paper we describe a function F _n : R ₊ → R ₊ such that for any hyperbolic n-manifold M with totally geodesic boundary ${\partial M \neq \emptyset}In this paper we describe a function F _n : R ₊ → R ₊ such that for any hyperbolic n-manifold M with totally geodesic boundary ?M 1 ?{\partial M \neq \emptyset} , the volume of M is equal to the sum of the values of F _n on the orthospectrum of M. We derive an integral formula for F _n in terms of elementary functions. We use this to give a lower bound for the volume of a hyperbolic n-manifold with totally geodesic boundary in terms of the area of the boundary.     

Effective Bounds on Holomorphic Mappings into Complex Hyperbolic Manifolds

We give an explicit upper bound on the number of non-constantholomorphic maps from a quasi-projective manifold into a complexhyperbolic manifold of finite volume. This gives an effectiveversion of the results of Sunada and Noguchi.     

The Isoperimetric Inequality on Manifolds of Conformally Hyperbolic Type

We prove that the maximal isoperimetric function on a Riemannian manifold of conformally hyperbolic type can be reduced to the linear canonical form P(x) = x by a conformal change of the Riemannian metric. In other words, the isoperimetric inequality , relating the volume V(D) of a domain D to the area of its boundary, can be reduced to the form , known for the Lobachevskii hyperbolic space.
