On the scattering theory of the Laplacian with a periodic boundary condition. II. Additional channels of scattering.
It is proved in [1],[2] that in odd dimensional spaces any uniform decay of the local energy implies that it must decay exponentially. We extend this to even dimensional spaces and to more general perturbations (including the transmission problem) showing that any uniform decay of the local energy implies that it must decay like O(t^(−2n) ), t ≫ 1 being the time and n being the space dimension.
In this paper, we prove propagation estimates for a massive Dirac equation in flat spacetime. This allows us to construct the asymptotic velocity operator and to analyse its spectrum. Eventually, using this new information, we are able to obtain complete scattering results; that is to say we prove the existence and the asymptotic completeness of the Dollard modified wave operators.
