The semilinear wave equation on the (outer) Schwarzschild manifold is studied. We prove local decay estimates for general (non-radial) data, deriving a-priori Morawetz type inequalities.

The causal boundary construction of Geroch, Kronheimer, and Penrose has some universal properties of importance for general studies of spacetimes, particularly when equipped with a topology derived from the causal structure. Properties of the causal boundary are detailed for spacetimes with spacelike boundaries, for multi-warped spacetimes, for static spacetimes, and for spacetimes with group a...
