In this paper we consider a compact Riemannian manifold (M, g) of class C 1 ∩ W 2,∞ and the damped wave or Schrödinger equations on M , under the action of a damping function a = a(x). We establish the following fact: if the measure of the set {x ∈ M ; a(x) = 0} is strictly positive, then the decay in time of the associated energy is at least...

We study the energy decay rate of the Kelvin-Voigt damped wave equation with piecewise smooth damping on the multi-dimensional domain. Under suitable geometric assumptions on the support of the damping, we obtain the optimal polynomial decay rate which turns out to be different from the one-dimensional case studied in [LR05]. This optimal decay...

In this article, we give probabilistic versions of Sobolev embeddings on any Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. More precisely, we prove that for natural probability measures on $L^2(M)$, almost every function belong to all spaces $L^p(M)$, $p<+\infty$. We then give applications to the study of the growth of the $L^p$ norms of spherical harmonics on...

It is well known that both the heat equation with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are null controlable as soon as the control acts in a non trivial domain (i.e. a set of positive measure, see [10, 11, 12, 1, 6]. In this article, we show that for any couple of initial data (u0, v0) we can achieve the null control for both equations...

In this note we investigate propagation of smallness properties for solutions to heat equations. We consider spectral projector estimates for the Laplace operator with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on a Riemanian manifold with or without boundary. We show that using the new approach for the propagation of smallness from...

Doi proved that the $L^2_t H^{1/2}_x$ local smoothing effect for Schrödinger equation on a Riemannian manifold does not hold if the geodesic flow has one trapped trajectory. We show in contrast that Strichartz estimates and $L^1\to L^\infty$ dispersive estimates still hold without loss for $e^{it\Delta}$ in various situations where the trapped...

We prove that the defocusing quintic wave equation, with Dirichlet boundary conditions, is globally well posed on $H^1_0(\Omega) \times L^2(\Omega)$ for any smooth (compact) domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$. The main ingredient in the proof is an $L^5$ spectral projector estimate, obtained recently by Smith and Sogge, combined with a...
