Resumen
Abstract
The paper considers the wave equation, with constant or variable coefficients in ?n, with odd n?3. We study the asymptotics of the distribution ? t of the random solution at time t ? ? as t ? ?. It is assumed that the initial measure ? 0 has zero mean, translation-invariant covariance matrices, and finite expected energy density. We also assume that ? 0 satisfies a Rosenblatt- or Ibragimov–Linnik-type space mixing condition. The main result is the convergence of ? t to a Gaussian measure ? ? as t ? ?, which gives a Central Limit Theorem (CLT) for the wave equation. The proof for the case of constant coefficients is based on an analysis of long-time asymptotics of the solution in the Fourier representation and Bernstein's “room-corridor” argument. The case of variable coefficients is treated by using a version of the scattering theory for infinite energy solutions, based on Vainberg's results on local energy decay.
