Wave equation
gφ = (∂2
t − ∆g)φ + f(φ, ∂φ) = 0
most simple case : linear wave in Rn, g = Id and f = 0. Cauchy problem : given φ|t=0 = φ0, ∂tφ|t=0 = φ1, characterize φ (existence, uniqueness, “good” estimates). More complicated :
◮ f = 0 : f(φ) = ±|φ|p−1φ, f(φ, ∂φ) = (|∂tφ|2 − |∇φ|2)φ ◮ domain Ω = Rn (with boundary conditions) ◮ variable metric g, possibly g(φ)
SLIDE 4
Schrödinger equation
(i∂t + ∆g)ψ + f(ψ, ∂ψ) = 0 Same questions. Likely more difficult (“infinite speed of propagation”) Cauchy problem : given ψ|t=0 = φ0, what are the properties of ψ ?
◮ f = 0 : f(ψ) = ±|ψ|p−1φ ◮ domain Ω = Rn (with boundary conditions) ◮ variable metric g
SLIDE 5 How to pick the right (φ0, φ1) or ψ0 ?
◮ If linear and explicit representations exist, anything that fits

◮ If nonlinear (or variable metric), conservation laws suggest
candidates Possible conservation laws (with suitable f)
◮ NLS : mass

◮ NLW : Hamiltonian (energy)

SLIDE 6 Local theory for cubic NLS in R2 : vector fields

◮ provides time decay at the expense of space decay at t = 0 ◮ leads to global in time solutions ◮ strong link to the convexity of
- x |x|2|u|2 dx (virial identity)
leads to scattering : existence of asymptotic states φ± such that limt→±∞ ψ − e±it∆ψ± = 0

is also a solution (pseudo-conformal transform) The cubic wave equation in R3 is truely conformally invariant : with (X, T) = (x, t)/(t2 − |x|2) and |x|φ = |X|Φ T,XΦ ± Φ3 = 0 and deriving the energy identity for Φ means multiplying φ by the conformal vector field, e.g. Kφ = ((t2 + |x|2)∂t + 2tx · ∇x + 2)φ
SLIDE 8 local energy decay for compactly supported data
Consider the linear wave equation φ = 0, multiplying by Kφ and integrating between times s = 0, t yields control of

SLIDE 9 Morawetz variant
Consider the nonlinear wave equation φ + φp = 0, and the multiplier M = t∂t + x · ∇x + 1. One can rewrite Mφ(φ + φp) = 0 so that 0 = divt,x(tQ + u∂tu, −tP) +

Nφ(φ + φp) = 0 and integrate between time slices. Benefit : Nφ in L2

Boundaries and boundaries
Terms like x · n are positive for star-shaped boundaries. Other interesting cases :
◮ Obstacles which are illumated from the interior ◮ Obstacles which are illuminated from the exterior ◮ “Almost star-shaped” obstacles ◮ Non-trapping obstacles
All but the last can be treated by suitable multipliers, as far as (linear) local energy decay is concerned.

Generalizations
◮ works in any dimensions (fix a direction, take the trace on
an hyperplan)
◮ works for the wave (provides local energy decay in free
space)
◮ suggests for nonlinear waves (NLW or NLS), the boundary
term can be controled philosophy : local smoothing/local energy decay “=” control of the normal derivative at a boundary
SLIDE 20 Going bilinear : 1D
define the mass density N, the current J and the (one dimensional for now !) “tensor” T, N = |u|2, J = 2Im(¯ u∂xu), T = 4|∂xu|2 − ∆N + 2ε(p − 1 p + 1)N

3−n 2 )
◮ the boundary term as no sign, but in dimension n ≥ 3, can
be controled by the usual virial
◮ in Rn, immediatly provides space-time control of nonlinear
n < p < 1 + 4 n−2, implies scattering ◮ works on domains as well ◮ one may recover Bourgain bilinear improvement over
Strichartz (for linear solutions) in a more geometrical way
◮ “good” convex ρ(x − y) will do (flexible)
Main drawback : do not know how to do the same for the wave
- equation. One may form the product of two Schrödinger
solutions in Rn, u(x)u(y), it will be a solution in R2n. Not true for the wave
SLIDE 24 What about 2D NLS (exterior to star-shaped) ?
We have a problem with ∆2ρ. Solution :
◮ use ρ1(x, y) = |x − y| + |x + y| ◮ the boundary term has a weight
∂nρ = x − y |x − y| + x + y |x + y| ∼ 2x |y|
◮ use ρ2(x, y) =
- x2 + y2 (the 4D “usual” weight)
◮ yields a positive boundary term
x · n(x) ρ2(x, y)|∂nu|2(x, t)|u|2(y, t) dσ(x)dy
◮ sum both...
SLIDE 25 Beyond star-shaped ?
Replace x · n(x) > 0 by (x1, εx2) · n(x) > 0. Previous computation works up to ε ≥ 2/3. All ε ? ? go 8D (F . Abou Shakra, 2013). Call X = (x, y) and Y = (w, z), X ′ = (x, −y)
◮ use ρ1(x, y) = |X − Y| + |X ′ + Y| + |X ′ − Y| + |X + Y| ◮ use ρ2(x, y) =
ε + |y|2 ε + |w|2 ε + |z|2 ε (the 8D weight,
compatible with the boundary condition)
◮ use ρ3(x, y) =
ε + |y|2 ε + | w−z √ 2 |2 ε ◮ sum all three...
