Abstract:

In this talk I describe the behavior of solutions of the wave equation on asymptotically De Sitter and Anti-de Sitter spaces. De Sitter and AdS spaces are Lorentzian analogues of hyperbolic space. This work is thus part of a larger program to analyze wave-like equations on non-product, non-compact manifolds, similarly to how various types of `ends' have been studied for the Laplacian and other elliptic operators on Riemannian manifolds.
