Abstract

We show that the "radiation field" introduced by F.G. Friedlander, mapping Cauchy data for the wave equation to the rescaled asymptotic behavior of the wave, is a Fourier integral operator on any non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic or asymptotically conic manifold. The underlying canonical relation is associated to a "sojourn time" or "Busemann function" for geodesics. As a consequence we obtain some information about the high frequency behavior of the scattering Poisson operator in these geometric settings.
