Geometric scattering for nonlinear wave equations on the Schwarzschild metric
Abstract
In this paper, we establish a conformal scattering theory for defocusing semilinear wave equations on Schwarzschild spacetime. We combine the energy and pointwise decay results for solutions obtained in \cite{Yang} with a Sobolev embedding on spacelike hypersurfaces to derive two-sided energy estimates between the energy flux of solutions through the Cauchy initial hypersurface $\Sigma_0 = \{ t = 0 \}$ and that through the null conformal boundaries $\mathfrak{H}^+ \cup \scri^+$ (respectively, $\mathfrak{H}^- \cup \scri^-$). By combining these estimates with the well-posedness of the Cauchy and Goursat problems for nonlinear wave equations, we construct a bounded linear and locally Lipschitz scattering operator that maps past scattering data to future scattering data.
