Radiation Fields, Scattering and Inverse Scattering on Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds

چکیده
We define the forward and backward radiation fields on an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold and show that they give unitary translation representations of the wave group, and as such can be used to define a scattering matrix. We show that this scattering matrix is equivalent to the one defined by stationary methods. Furthermore, we prove a support theorem for the radiation fields which generalizes to this setting well known results of Helgason and Lax & Phillips for the horocyclic Radon transform. As an application, we use the boundary control method of Belishev to show that an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold is determined up to invariants by the scattering matrix at all energies.

In analogy with radiation fields for asymptotically Euclidean manifolds, introduced by F.G. Friedlander, we define radiation fields for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. We use them to give a translation representation of the wave group and to obtain the scattering matrix for such manifolds. Furthermore, we prove a support theorem for the radiation fields which generalizes to this setting th...
متن کاملEquipartition of Energy in Geometric Scattering Theory
In this note, we use an elementary argument to show that the existence and unitarity of radiation fields implies asymptotic partition of energy for the corresponding wave equation. This argument establishes the equipartition of energy for the wave equation on scattering manifolds, asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds, asymptotically complex hyperbolic manifolds, and the Schwarzschild spacetime. ...
متن کاملInverse Scattering on Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds
Scattering is deened on compact manifolds with boundary which are equipped with an asymptotically hyperbolic metric, g: A model form is established for such metrics close to the boundary. It is shown that the scattering matrix at energy exists and is a pseudo-diierential operator of order 2 + 1 ? dim X: The symbol of the scattering matrix is then used to show that except for a discrete set of e...
متن کاملGeometric Scattering Theory and Applications
Classical scattering theory, by which we mean the scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves and quantum particles, is a very old discipline with roots in mathematical physics. It has also become an important part of the modern theory of linear partial differential equations. Spectral geometry is a slightly more recent subject, the goal of which is to understand the connections between th...
متن کاملScattering Poles for Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds
For a class of manifolds X that includes quotients of real hyperbolic (n + 1)-dimensional space by a convex co-compact discrete group, we show that the resonances of the meromorphically continued resolvent kernel for the Laplacian on X coincide, with multiplicities, with the poles of the meromorphically continued scattering operator for X. In order to carry out the proof, we use Shmuel Agmon’s ...
