We prove a unique continuation from infinity theorem for regular waves of the form $[ \Box + \mathcal{V} (t, x) ]\phi=0$. Under the assumption of no incoming and no outgoing radiation on specific halves of past and future null infinities,…

In this paper, we prove a uniqueness theorem for a system of semilinear wave equations satisfying the null condition in $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$. Suppose that two global solutions with $C_c^\infty$ initial data have equal initial data outside a…
We prove two uniqueness theorems for solutions of linear and nonlinear wave equations; the first theorem is in the Minkowski space while the second is in the domain of outer communication of a Kerr black hole. Both theorems concern ill…
We study solutions to the linear wave equation on the cosmological region of Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetimes. We show that all sufficiently regular finite-energy solutions to the linear equation possess a particular finite-order…
These notes are intended as an introduction to the question of unique continuation for the wave operator, and some of its applications. The general question is whether a solution to a wave equation in a domain, vanishing on a subdomain has…
We study a Lorentzian version of the well-known Calder\'{o}n problem that is concerned with determination of lower order coefficients in a wave equation on a smooth Lorentzian manifold, given the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. In the…
We consider a unique continuation problem for the wave equation given data in a volumetric subset of the space time domain. In the absence of data on the lateral boundary of the space-time cylinder we prove that the solution can be…
