On the Fourier Analysis of the Einstein–Klein–Gordon System: Growth and Decay of the Fourier Constants

Abstract

We consider the \((1+3)\)-dimensional Einstein equations with negative cosmological constant coupled to a spherically symmetric, massless scalar field and study perturbations around the anti-de Sitter spacetime. We derive the resonant systems, pick out vanishing secular terms and discuss issues related to small divisors. Most importantly, we rigorously establish (sharp, in most of the cases) asymptotic behaviour for all the interaction coefficients. The latter is based on uniform estimates for the eigenfunctions associated to the linearized operator as well as on some oscillatory integrals.
