Title:

Boundedness and Decay of Waves on Decelerated FLRW Spacetimes

Abstract:

In this talk, after outlining the stability problem for Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes, we consider the wave equation—as a proxy for the Einstein equations—on decelerated FLRW spacetimes with \( \mathbb{R}^3 \) spatial sections. We demonstrate how dispersion and expansion affect the long-time behaviour of waves. In particular, we present uniform energy bounds and integrated local energy decay estimates across the full decelerated expansion range. Moreover, we describe a hierarchy of \( r^p \)-weighted energy estimates, in the spirit of the Dafermos-Rodnianski \( r^p \)-method, which lead to energy decay estimates.
