Abstract

This is the second paper of a two part work that establishes a definitive quantitative nonlinear scattering theory for asymptotically de Sitter vacuum solutions $(M,g)$ in $(n+1)$ dimensions with $n\geq4$ even, which are determined by small scattering data at $\mathscr{I}^{\pm}.$ In this paper we prove quantitative estimates for systems of wave equations on the $(M,g)$ backgrounds. The systems considered include the Einstein vacuum equations commuted with suitable time-dependent vector fields, where we treat the nonlinear terms as general inhomogeneous factors. The estimates obtained are essential in establishing sharp top order estimates for the scattering map of the Einstein vacuum equations, taking asymptotic data at $\mathscr{I}^-$ to asymptotic data at $\mathscr{I}^+$.
