Abstract

We investigate the dispersive properties of evolution equations on waveguides with a non flat shape. More precisely we consider an operator H=ΔxΔy+V(x,y)H=-\Delta_{x}-\Delta_{y}+V(x,y) with Dirichled boundary condition on an unbounded domain Ω\Omega, and we introduce the notion of a \emph{repulsive waveguide} along the direction of the first group of variables xx. If Ω\Omega is a repulsive waveguide, we prove a sharp estimate for the Helmholtz equation Huλu=fHu-\lambda u=f. As consequences we prove smoothing estimates for the Schr\"odinger and wave equations associated to HH, and Strichartz estimates for the Schr\"odinger equation. Additionally, we deduce that the operator HH does not admit eigenvalues.
