Asymptotics of radiation fields in asymptotically Minkowski space

Understand

We consider a non-trapping $n$-dimensional Lorentzian manifold endowed with an end structure modeled on the radial compactification of Minkowski space.

• We find a full asymptotic expansion for tempered forward solutions of the wave equation in all asymptotic regimes.
• The rates of decay seen in the asymptotic expansion are related to the resonances of a natural asymptotically hyperbolic problem on the "northern cap" of the compactification.
• For small perturbations of Minkowski space that fit into our framework, we show a rate of decay that improves on the Klainerman--Sobolev estimates.
