Further Information

We consider semiclassical Schrödinger operators on the real line of the form H(ħ) = ―ħ2 / d2 dx2+ V(·; ħ) with ħ > 0 small. The potential V is assumed to be smooth, positive and exponentially decaying towards infinity. We establish semiclassical global representations of Jost solutions f± (·, E; ħ) with error terms that are uniformly controlled for small E and ħ, and construct the scattering matrix as well as the semiclassical spectral measure associated with H(ħ). This is crucial in order to obtain decay bounds for the corresponding wave and Schrödinger flows. As an application we consider the wave equation on a Schwarzschild background for large angular momenta ℓ were the role of the small parameter ħ is played by ℓ―1. It follows from the results in this paper and Donninger et al. (Commun Math Phys 2009, ar-Xiv:0911.3179), that the decay bounds obtained in Donninger et al. (Adv Math 226(1):484―540, 2011) and Donninger and Wilhelm (Int Math Res Not IMRN 22:4276―4300, 2010) for individual angular momenta ℓ can be summed to yield the sharp t―3 decay for data without symmetry assumptions.
