Dimock, J. Scattering for the wave equation on the Schwarzschild metric. (English) Zbl 0618.35088 Gen. Relativ. Gravitation 17, 353-369 (1985). The scattering problem for the massless scalar field in Schwarzschild’s space-time is studied at length. Special (tortoise) coordinates are used, in which the horizon is placed at infinity. This implies that the wave operator has to be constructed in two distinct asymptotic domains, namely the horizon and the Minkowski regions of space-time. The existence of the wave operator follows from the adaption of the existence theorem for a general class of asymptotically flat space-times.
