Abstract:

In this talk I will describe the existence and asymptotic properties of the Feynman propagator in three model singular settings: the scalar wave equation on cones, the scalar wave equation on Minkowski space with an inverse square potential, and the massless Dirac equation in 3 dimensions coupled to a Coulomb potential. The proof combines techniques of Gell-Redman–Haber–Vasy as well as prior work with Booth, Gell-Redman, Marzuola, Vasy, and Wunsch. One novelty of the proof is that it does not rely on Wick rotation (though a shadow of it survives in some special function analysis at infinity).
