Abstract
We use a novel physical space method to prove relatively non-degenerate integrated energy estimates for the wave equation on subextremal Schwarzschild–de Sitter spacetimes with parameters (M,Lambda ). These are integrated decay statements whose bulk energy density, though degenerate at highest order, is everywhere comparable to the energy density of the boundary fluxes. As a corollary, we prove that solutions of the wave equation decay exponentially on the exterior region. The main ingredients are a previous Morawetz estimate of Dafermos–Rodnianski and an additional argument based on commutation with a vector field which can be expressed in the form r1-2Mr-Λ3r2∂∂r,\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\begin{aligned} r\\sqrt{1-\\frac{2M}{r}-\\frac{\\Lambda }{3}r^2}\\frac{\\partial }{\\partial r}, \\end{aligned}$$\\end{document}where partial _r here denotes the coordinate vector field corresponding to a well-chosen system of hyperboloidal coordinates. Our argument gives exponential decay also for small first-order perturbations of the wave operator. In the limit Lambda =0, our commutation corresponds to the one introduced by Holzegel–Kauffman (A note on the wave equation on black hole spacetimes with small non-decaying first-order terms, 2020. arXiv:2005.13644).
