Abstract

We study asymptotics for solutions of Maxwell's equations, in fact of the Hodge-de Rham equation (d+δ)u=0(d+\delta)u=0 without restriction on the form degree, on a geometric class of stationary spacetimes with a warped product type structure (without any symmetry assumptions), which in particular include Schwarzschild-de Sitter spaces of all spacetime dimensions n4n\geq 4. We prove that solutions decay exponentially to 00 or to stationary states in every form degree, and give an interpretation of the stationary states in terms of cohomological information of the spacetime. We also study the wave equation on differential forms and in particular prove analogous results on Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetimes. We demonstrate the stability of our analysis and deduce asymptotics and decay for solutions of Maxwell's equations, the Hodge-de Rham equation and the wave equation on differential forms on Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes with small angular momentum.
