Abstract

We establish Strichartz estimates for the Schr\"odinger equation on Riemannian manifolds (Ω,\g)(\Omega,\g) with boundary, for both the compact case and the case that Ω\Omega is the exterior of a smooth, non-trapping obstacle in Euclidean space. The estimates for exterior domains are scale invariant; the range of Lebesgue exponents (p,q)(p,q) for which we obtain these estimates is smaller than the range known for Euclidean space, but includes the key Lt4LxL^4_tL^\infty_x estimate, which we use to give a simple proof of well-posedness results for the energy critical Schr\"odinger equation in 3 dimensions. Our estimates on compact manifolds involve a loss of derivatives with respect to the scale invariant index. We use these to establish well-posedness for finite energy data of certain semilinear Schr\"odinger equations on general compact manifolds with boundary.
