Resolvent and spectral measure on non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds I: Resolvent construction at high energy

Abstract: This is the first in a series of papers in which we investigate the resolvent and spectral measure on non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with applications to the restriction theorem, spectral multiplier results and Strichartz estimates. In this first paper, we use semiclassical Lagrangian distributions and semiclassical intersecting Lagrangian distributions, along with Mazzeo-Melrose 0-calculus, to construct the high energy resolvent on general non- trapping asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds, generalizing the work due to Melrose, Sa Barreto and Vasy. We note that there is an independent work by Y. Wang which also constructs the high-energy resolvent.
