Strichartz estimates with loss of derivatives under a weak dispersion property for the wave operator (1605.01250v1)

Abstract: This paper can be considered as a sequel of [BS14] by Bernicot and Samoyeau, where the authors have proposed a general way of deriving Strichartz estimates for the Schr{\"o}dinger equation from a dispersive property of the wave propagator. It goes through a reduction of H 1 -- BMO dispersive estimates for the Schr{\"o}dinger propagator to L 2 -- L 2 microlocalized (in space and in frequency) dispersion inequalities for the wave operator. This paper aims to contribute in enlightening our comprehension of how dispersion for waves imply dispersion for the Schr{\"o}dinger equation. More precisely, the hypothesis of our main theorem encodes dispersion for the wave equation in an uniform way, with respect to the light cone. In many situations the phenomena that arise near the boundary of the light cone are the more complicated ones. The method we present allows to forget those phenomena we do not understand very well yet. The second main step shows the Strichartz estimates with loss of derivatives we can obtain under those assumptions. The setting we work with is general enough to recover a large variety of frameworks (infinite metric spaces, Riemannian manifolds with rough metric, some groups, ...) where the lack of knowledge of the wave propagator is a restraint to our understanding of the dispersion phenomenon.
