SHARP RADIAL ESTIMATES IN BESOV SPACES
JIAN WANG
Abstract. Microlocal radial estimates were introduced by Melrose as a generaliza- tion of outgoing estimates of scattering theory. In this note we prove an end point version of these estimates using Besov spaces.
1. Introduction
1.1. Main results. Radial estimates are powerful tools in microlocal analysis. They were first introduced by Melrose [Me94] in the study of scattering theory for asymptot- ically Euclidean manifolds. They have been developed in various settings since then and part of the literature is listed here. Hassell-Melrose-Vasy [HMV04] used radial estimates to study the scattering theory for zeroth order symbolic potentials. Vasy [Va13] and Datchev-Dyatlov [DaDy13] used radial estimates in the study of asymp- totically hyperbolic scattering theory. Vasy [Va13], Dyatlov [Dy16] and Hintz-Vasy [HiVa18] applied radial estimates to general relativity. In hyperbolic dynamics, radial estimates were introduced by Dyatlov-Zworski [DyZw16]. Radial estimates were also applied to forced waves by Dyatlov-Zworski [DyZw19a] and Colin de Verdi`ere[CdV]. We first review the radial estimates presented in [DyZw19b, §E.4]. We will work in mocrolocal setting and put h = 1 in [DyZw19b, §E.4] correspondingly. Let M be a smooth manifold and P ∈ Ψk(M), k > 0, be a properly supported pseudodifferential operator. We define P +P ∗ P −P ∗ Re P := 2 , Im P := 2i . (1.1) Then Re P, Im P ∈ Ψk(M) are self-adjoint and P = Re P + i Im P .
(1)([DyZw19b, Theorem E.52]) Suppose p, q ∈ Sk(T ∗M; R) are the principal symbols of Re P and − Im P . We consider the rescaled Hamiltonian flow ∗ ϕt := exp(thξiHp) on the compactified cotangent bundle T M, see §2. Suppose − Λ is the radial source of ϕt (for the precise meaning, see §2). If q = 0 near Λ− and

kAukHs ≤ CkB1P ukHs−k+1 + CkχukH−N . (1.3) − Note that since Λ is the radial source, there exists a maximal s− ∈ R such − that (1.5) holds near Λ for any s > s−. (2)([DyZw19b, Theorem E.54]) On the other hand, suppose Λ + is a radial sink + + of ϕt (see §2), q = 0 near Λ and (1.5) is eventually negative on Λ with 0 + respect to p. Then for any B1 ∈ Ψ (M) such that Λ ⊂ ell(B1), there exists 0 + + A, B ∈ Ψ (M) such that Λ ⊂ ell(A), WF(B) ⊂ ell(B1) \ Λ , and there exists ∞ s s−k+1 χ ∈ Cc (M) such that for all N and u ∈ Hloc, P u ∈ Hloc , we have
kAukHs ≤ CkB1P ukHs−k+1 + CkBukHs + CkχukH−N . (1.4) + Note that when Λ is the radial sink, there exists a minimal s+ ∈ R such that + (1.5) holds near Λ for any s < s+. The radial estimates (1.3) and (1.4) can only be applied to Sobolev spaces with re- strictions on the Sobolev regularity. It is natural to ask if we can get similar estimates in other function spaces with critical regularity. In the special setting of general oper- ators on Euclidean spaces, this has been achieved by Agmon-H¨ormander[AgH¨o76] by using Besov spaces on the x side, see also [H¨oII83, Chapter 14]. Instead of radial sets for the Hamiltonian flow, [AgH¨o76] analysed the bounds of solutions as |ξ| → ∞. In this note, we consider the general pseudodifferential operators and prove the following
Theorem 1. Suppose P ∈ Ψk(M), k > 0, and Λ− is the radial source with respect to p = Re σ(P ). Assume that hξi−k Im σ(P ) = 0 near Λ− and there exists T > 0 such that Z T 1−k 1−k Hphξi hξi σk−1(Im P ) + (s− + 2 ) hξi ◦ ϕtdt ≤ 0 (1.5) 0 in a neighborhood of Λ−. Then there exists a conic neighborhood U of Λ−, such that 0 − 0 ∞ for any B1 ∈ Ψ (M) with Λ ⊂ ell(B1) ⊂ U, there exists A ∈ Ψ (M), χ ∈ Cc (M) − 0 s− s such that Λ ⊂ ell(A) and for any u ∈ D (M), if B1u ∈ B2,∞(M), B1P u ∈ B2,1(M) s− for some s > s−, then for any N ∈ R, we have Au ∈ B2,∞ and

Remarks. 1. On the left hand side of (1.8), there is a “bad” term kBuk s+ , which is B2,1 an obstruction to obtaining global estimates in Besov spaces such as
s kukB 0 ≤ CkP uk s1−k+1 + CkχukH−N , (1.9) 2,∞ B2,1 where s0 = min{s−, s+}, s1 = max{s−, s+}. It is not clear if (1.8) is optimal or we can get rid of kBuk s+ term; B2,1 2. When applying radial estimates, one can expect high regularity estimates near the radial source (see for instance (1.3)), and then by principal type of propagation s+ estimates (see [DyZw19b, Theorem E.47]), one has Bu ∈ B2,1. One can apply (1.8) to s+ obtain the boundedness of u in B2,∞ near the radial sink. For completeness we also present the standard real principal type propagation result in Besov spaces. More precisely, we have Theorem 3. Assume P ∈ Ψk(M) is a properly supported operator with σ(P ) = p−iq, k ∗ 0 −k p, q ∈ S (T M; R). Let A, B, B1 ∈ Ψ (M) be compactly supported and hξi q ≥ 0 on WF(B1). If the following control condition holds: for any (x, ξ) ∈ WF(A), there exists T > 0 such that
ϕ−T (x, ξ) ∈ ell(B), and ϕt(x, ξ) ∈ ell(B1), ∀t ∈ [−T, 0]. (1.10) ∞ 0 s Then there exists χ ∈ Cc (M) such that for any s, N ∈ R, if u ∈ D (M), Bu ∈ B2,1, s−k+1 s B1P u ∈ B2,1 , then Au ∈ B2,1 and

2. Preliminaries
2.1. Besov spaces. Let M be a smooth manifold. We fix a metric |·| on the cotangent ∗ ∞ ∗ bundle T M. Let α, α0 ∈ C (T M) such that α0(x, ξ) = 1 when |ξ| ≤ 1, α0(x, ξ) = 0 when |ξ| > 2, α(x, ξ) = 1 when C1 ≤ |ξ| ≤ C2 for some C1,C2 > 0 and α = 0 when |ξ| ≤ C1/2 or |ξ| > 2C2, and
∞ X j 0 < C1 ≤ α0(x, ξ) + α(x, h0ξ) ≤ C2 < ∞ (2.1) j=0
0 with 0 < h0 < 1. A function u ∈ D (M) is in the Besov space B2,1 if the quantity
∞ X −sj j kuk s := kα (x, D)uk 2 + h kα(x, h D)uk 2 (2.2) B2,1 0 L 0 0 L (M) j=0
s s is finite. k · k s is the B norm of u. We can also define the space B by putting B2,1 2,1 2,∞
−sj j kuk s := sup{kα (x, D)uk 2 , h kα(x, h D)uk 2 }. (2.3) B2,∞ 0 L 0 0 L j≥0
s s A function u is in B if and only if the norm kuk s is finite. The space B is the 2,∞ B2,∞ 2,∞ −s dual space of B2,1. We record a mapping property of pseudodifferential operators between Besov spaces.
Lemma 2.1. Suppose P ∈ Ψk(M), k ∈ R. Then
s s−k s s−k P : B2,∞(M) → B2,∞ (M),P : B2,1(M) → B2,1 (M) (2.4) are bounded with norms depend on the seminorms of the principal symbol of P in k ∗ S1,0(T M).
Proof. Without loss of generality, we assume k = 0. Suppose h0 ∈ (0, 1), α ∈ ∞ ∗ C (T M), α(x, ξ) = 1 when C1 ≤ |ξ| ≤ C2 and α(x, ξ) = 0 when |ξ| ≤ C1/2 ∞ ∗ or |ξ| ≥ 2C2 with C1,C2 > 0. Let αe ∈ C (T M) such that αe(x, ξ) = 1 when C1/2 ≤ |ξ| ≤ 2C2 and αe(x, ξ) = 0 when |ξ| ≤ C1/4 or |ξ| ≥ 4C2. Then j j j j kα(x, h0D)P ukL2 =kP α(x, h0D)ukL2 + k[α(x, h0D),P ]αe(x, h0D)ukL2 j ≤kP kL2→L2 kα(x, h0D)ukL2 (2.5) j j + k[α(x, h0D),P ]kH−1→L2 kαe(x, h0D)ukH−1 . For any h > 0, we have in local coordinates that
σ([P, α(x, hD)]) = Hp (α(x, hξ)) = h(Hpα)(x, hξ). (2.6) SHARP RADIAL ESTIMATES 5
Therefore
hξi|β|+1 ∂α∂βσ ([P, α(x, hD)]) x ξ =h|β|+1hξi|β|+1 ∂α∂βH α (x, hξ) x ξ p (2.7) α β α β ≤C ∂x ∂ξ Hpα (x, hξ) ≤ C sup ∂x ∂ξ {p, α} T ∗M This shows that j k[α(x, h0D),P ]kH−1→L2 (2.8) is bounded uniformly by seminorms of P since α = 0 when |ξ| ≤ C1/2 or |ξ| > 2C2. Now (2.5) shows that
kP uk s ≤ Ckuk s , kP uk s ≤ Ckuk s , (2.9) B2,∞ B2,∞ B2,1 B2,1 with C > 0 depends on the seminorms of σ(P ).
2.2. Regularizing operators. In order to regularize distributions, we define for any 0 < τ ≤ 1, r ∈ R, −m −m Xτ := Op hτξi ∈ Ψ (M). (2.10)
We record some useful properties of Xτ (see for instance [DyZw19b, Exercise E.10]):
Lemma 2.2. Let Xτ be as in (2.10). Then
m (1) There exists Yτ ∈ Ψ (M) such that
m Yτ = Op(yτ ), yτ (x, ξ) = y(x, τξ; τ), yτ = hξi + O(τ) m−1 , (2.11) S1,0 and ∞ ∞ Xτ Yτ = I + O(τ )Ψ−∞ ,Yτ Xτ = I + O(τ )Ψ−∞ . (2.12) (2) For any P ∈ Ψk(M), we have
