Popis: We establish space-time dispersive estimates for solutions to the wave equation on compact Riemannian manifolds with bounded sectional curvature, with the same exponents as for $C^\infty$ metrics. The estimates are for bounded time intervals, so by finite propagation velocity the results apply also on non-compact manifolds under appropriate uniform conditions. We assume a priori that in local coordinates the metric tensor components satisfy ${\rm g}_{ij}\in W^{1,p}$ for some $p>d$, which ensures that the curvature tensor is well defined in the weak sense, but this can be relaxed to any assumption that suffices for the local harmonic coordinate calculations in the paper.
