On pointwise decay of waves

Analysis of PDEs 2021-07-07 v2

Abstract

This article serves as an introduction to the linear aspects of the recent submission by Krieger, Miao, and the author, see arXiv:2009.08843. It also surveys some of the results obtained on the decay of linear waves on various backgrounds or in the presence of a potential over the past 15 years. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of 0 energy. The techniques are based on spectral and scattering theory. Note that this is not a systematic review, as this would require a book.
