Scalar waves on a naked-singularity background

We obtain global spacetime weighted-L2 (Morawetz) and L4 (Strichartz) estimates for a massless chargeless spherically symmetric scalar field propagating on a super-extremal (overcharged) Reissner–Nordström background. To do this we first discuss the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for scalar fields on non-globally hyperbolic manifolds, review the role played by the Friedrichs extension and go over the construction of the function spaces involved. We then show how to transform this problem to one about the wave equation on the Minkowski space with a singular potential, and prove that the potential thus obtained satisfies the various conditions needed in order for the estimates to hold.
