Conjecture on polyhomogeneity for scattering solutions with infinitely regular data
Conjecture on polyhomogeneity for scattering solutions with infinitely regular data
Let , let solve with no incoming radiation, and let with . For an outgoing null cone with , write for the relevant polyhomogeneous space. Polyhomogeneity conjecture. The restriction of the solution to every such cone satisfies
This concerns the unresolved case of infinitely regular scattering data without a polyhomogeneous expansion. Finite angular regularity can fail to give summable higher-order coefficients, whereas polyhomogeneous data of infinite regularity are known to yield conformal smoothness; a related weaker question asks whether the radiation field has a finite limit at future null infinity.
