Unconditional wave decay in dimension two
arXiv:2507.03140
Abstract
We extend Burq's logarithmic decay rate [Bur98] to general compactly supported scatterers in dimension two. The main novelty is using recent results on low-frequency expansions to remove the requirement that the spectrum be regular at zero. This allows us to include, among other examples, arbitrary smooth obstacles with variable boundary conditions.
