Conserved quantities, for example energy and momentum, play a fundamental role in the analysis of dynamics of particles and fields. For field equations, one manifestation of conserved quantities in a broad sense is the existence of symmetry operators, i.e. linear differential operators which take solutions to solutions. A well known example of a symmetry operator for the scalar wave equation is provided by the Lie derivative along a Killing vector field. It is important to note that other kinds of objects can generate symmetry operators. For waves in the Kerr spacetime there is a symmetry operator associated with Carter's constant. This symmetry, which is "hidden" in the sense that it arises from a Killing spinor, satisfying a generalization of the Killing vector equation, rather than a Killing vector, was an essential ingredient in a proof of decay of scalar waves on the Kerr background by Andersson and Blue. In this talk we will consider what conditions on a spacetime are necessary for existence of symmetry operators for the conformal wave equation, the Dirac Weyl equation, and the Maxwell equation, i.e. for massless test fields of spins 0, 1/2 and 1. We will investigate how the conditions for the symmetry operators for the different field equations are related, and how they are related to existence of conserved currents. Furthermore, these tools lead to the construction of a new energy momentum tensor for a Maxwell field on a Kerr background. This will provide a powerful tool for the study of decay of Maxwell fields on the Kerr spacetime.

Semyon Dyatlov - Spectral gaps for normally hyperbolic trapping

Motivated by wave decay for Kerr and Kerr de Sitter black holes, we study spectral gaps for codimension 2 normally hyperbolic trapped sets with smooth stable/unstable foliations. Using semiclassical defect measures, we recover the gap of Wunsch Zworski and Nonnenmacher Zworski in our case. Under the stronger assumptions of r normal hyperbolicity and pinching, we discover further spectral gaps, meaning that resonances are stratified into bands by decay rates.

Rod Gover - Geometric Compactification, Cartan holonomy, and asymptotics
/ Fanny Bastien
/ Canal-u.fr
Voir le résumé
Voir le résumé
Conformal compactification has long been recognised as an effective geometric framework for relating conformal geometry, and associated field theories ``at infinity'', to the asymptotic phenomena of an interior (pseudo-‐)-‐Riemannian geometry of one higher dimension. It provides an effective approach for analytic problems in GR, geometric scattering, conformal invariant theory, as well as the AdS/CFT correspondence of Physics. I will describe how the notion of conformal compactification can be linked to Cartan holonomy reduction. This leads to a conceptual way to define other notions of geometric compactification. The idea will be taken up, in particular, for the case of compactifying pseudo-‐ Riemannian manifolds using projective geometry. A new characterisation of projectively compact metrics will be given, and some results on their asymptotics near the conformal infinity. This is joint work with Andreas Cap.

Rod Gover - An introduction to conformal geometry and tractor calculus (Part 4)

After recalling some features (and the value of) the invariant ``Ricci calculus'' of pseudo-‐Riemannian geometry, we look at conformal rescaling from an elementary perspective. The idea of conformal covariance is visited and some covariant/invariant equations from physics are recovered in this framework. Motivated by the need to develop a more effective approach to such problems we are led into the idea of conformal geometry and a conformally invariant calculus; this``tractor calculus'' is then developed explicitly. We will discuss how to calculate using this, and touch on applications to the construction of conformal invariants and conformally invariant differential operators. The second part of the course is concerned with the application of conformal geometry and tractor calculus for the treatment of conformal compactification and the geometry of conformal infinity. The link with Friedrich’s conformal field equations will be made. As part of this part we also dedicate some time to the general problem of treating hypersurfaces in a conformal manifold, and in particular arrive at a conformal Gauss equation. Finally we show how these tools maybe applied to treat aspects of the asymptotic analysis of boundary problems on conformally compact manifolds.

I will discuss energy and Morawetz (or integrated local decay) estimates for fields outside black holes. These results build on results for the wave equation and use the Killing tensor, an unusual geometric object that exists in the Kerr spacetime.

I will discuss the initial value problem for the Einstein equations and present results concerning the existence and asymptotic behavior of spacetimes, when the initial data set is assumed to be T2 symmetric and satisfies weak regularity conditions so that the spacetimes may exhibit impulsive gravitational waves and shock waves. This lecture is based on papers written over the period 2004—2014 and available at philippelefloch.org.
