Strichartz estimates for the wave equation on a 2d model convex domain

Abstract: We prove better Strichartz type estimates than expected from the (optimal) dispersion we obtained in our earlier work on a 2d convex model. This follows from taking full advantage of the space-time localization of caustics in the parametrix we obtain, despite their number increasing like the inverse square root of the distance from the source to the boundary. As a consequence, we improve known Strichartz estimates for the wave equation. Several improvements on our previous parametrix construction are obtained along the way and are of independent interest for further applications.
