Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of conformal perturbations on the local smoothing effect for the Schrödinger equation on surfaces of revolution. The paper \citeChWu-lsm studied the Schrödinger equation on surfaces of revolution with one trapped orbit. The dynamics near this trapping were unstable, but degenerately so. Beginning from the metric g from this paper, we consider the perturbed metric gs = esfg, where f is a smooth, compactly supported function. If s is small enough and finitely many derivatives of f satisfy appropriate symbolic estimates, then we show that a local smoothing estimate still holds.
