The radiation field on product cones

We consider the wave equation on a product cone and find a joint asymptotic expansion for solutions near null and future infinities. The rates of decay seen in the expansion at future infinity are the resonances of a hyperbolic cone and were computed by the authors in a previous paper. The expansion treats an asymptotic regime not considered in the influential work of Cheeger and Taylor. The main result adapts the blueprint laid out in the asymptotically Minkowski setting with key new elements including propagation estimates near the conic singularities. The proof of the propagation estimates extends prior work of Melrose-Vasy-Wunsch and Gannot-Wunsch.
