In this global study of solutions to the linear wave equation on Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes we attend to the cosmological region of spacetime which is bounded in the past by cosmological horizons and to the future by a spacelike…

By suitably re-scaling the conformal Einstein's equations we are able to apply recent results in the theory of PDE, and prove that they possess slow solutions in a future neighborhood of an initial surface reaching ${\cal I}^+$. The…
