We consider the wave equation on asymptotically Minkowski spacetimes and the Klein-Gordon equation on even asymptotically de Sitter spaces. In both cases we show that the extreme difference of propagators (i.e. retarded propagator minus…
We establish the linear instability of the semiclassical Einstein-Klein-Gordon system linearised about the Minkowski vacuum spacetime. The proof relies on formulating a forcing problem for both metric and state perturbations within the…
We discuss two distinct operator-theoretic settings useful for describing (or defining) propagators associated with a scalar Klein-Gordon field on a Lorentzian manifold $M$. Typically, we assume that $M$ is globally hyperbolic. The term…
We study in this paper an abstract class of Klein-Gordon equations: \[ \p_{t}^{2}\phi(t)- 2\i k \p_{t}\phi(t)+ h \phi(t)=0, \] where $\phi: \rr\to \cH$, $\cH$ is a (complex) Hilbert space, and $h$, $k$ are self-adjoint, resp. symmetric…
We prove a reducibility result for a linear Klein-Gordon equation with a quasi-periodic driving on a compact interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. No assumptions are made on the size of the driving, however we require it to be fast…
A quantum mechanical description of particle propagation on the discrete spacetime of a causal set is presented. The model involves a discrete path integral in which trajectories within the causal set are summed over to obtain a particle…
We construct a class of solutions to the Cauchy problem of the Klein-Gordon equation on any standard static spacetime. Specifically, we have constructed solutions to the Cauchy problem based on any self-adjoint extension (satisfying a…
We prove that all the solutions of a quasi-periodically forced linear Klein-Gordon equation $\psi_{tt}-\psi_{xx}+\mathtt{m}\psi+Q(\omega t)\psi=0 $ where $ Q(\omega t) := a^{(2)}(\omega t, x) \partial_{xx} + a^{(1)}(\omega t, x)\partial_x +…
This is a survey of the author's recent work rather than a broad survey of the literature. The survey is concerned with the global in time solutions of the Cauchy problem for matter waves propagating in the curved spacetimes, which can be,…
We study spacetimes that lead to a separable Klein-Gordon equation in a general dimension. We introduce an ansatz for the metric in higher dimensions motivated by analogical work by Carter in four dimensions and find solutions of the…
We consider propagation of instability fronts in conservative nonlinear wave systems by the Whitham method. Whitham modulation equations for periodic solutions of the generalized Klein-Gordon equation are solved in the limit of…
We give the governing equations for multiple scalar fields in a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) background spacetime on all scales, allowing for metric and field perturbations up to second order. We then derive the Klein-Gordon…
We present a new axially symmetric monochromatic free-space solution to the Klein-Gordon equation propagating with a superluminal group velocity and show that it gives rise to an imaginary part of the causal propagator outside the light…
The discrete Klein-Gordon equation on a two-dimensional square lattice satisfies an $\ell^1 \mapsto \ell^\infty$ dispersive bound with polynomial decay rate $|t|^{-3/4}$. We determine the shape of the light cone for any choice of the mass…
We study a new approach to generally covariant quantum mechanics applied in the case of an FLRW cosmological background. For positive spatial curvature we find a discrete series of solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation that can reasonably…
The Hyperboloidal Foliation Method (introduced by the authors in 2014) is extended here and applied to the Einstein equations of general relativity. Specifically, we establish the nonlinear stability of Minkowski spacetime for…
We prove global in time dispersion for the wave and the Klein-Gordon equation inside the Friedlander domain by taking full advantage of the space-time localization of caustics and a precise estimate of the number of waves that may cross at…
In this paper we discuss some exact results related to the fractional Klein--Gordon equation involving fractional powers of the D'Alembert operator. By means of a space-time transformation, we reduce the fractional Klein--Gordon equation to…
We obtain a dispersive long-time decay in weighted energy norms for solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in a moving frame. The decay extends the results of Jensen, Kato and Murata for the equations of the Schr\"odinger type. We modify…
We show that the spatial part of the Klein-Gordon operator is an essentially self-adjoint operator on the Cauchy surfaces of various classes of spacetimes. Our proof employs the intricate connection between global hyperbolicity and…
