Local smoothing for rough wave equations
Abstract
We prove local smoothing estimates for wave equations with $C^{r}$ coefficients, relying on bilinear restriction estimates associated with rough wave propagation. In two and three dimensions, for $C^{1,1}$ coefficients we recover the sharp $L^p$-$L^q$ local smoothing bounds previously established for smooth coefficients. These are implied by stronger $L^{p}$-$L^{q}$ decoupling inequalities with endpoint derivative loss. As a corollary, we obtain non-trivial $L^{p}$-$L^{p}$ local smoothing estimates as well.
