Microglobal regularity and the global wavefront set (Q2633095): Difference between revisions

The main purpose of the paper under review is to prove global versions of three classical results on the boundary values of ultradistributions, wavefront sets, and characteristic sets of constant coefficient partial differential operators. \par Suppose $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $\mathbb{N}_0=\{0\}\bigcup \mathbb{N}$. Let $M = (M_j)_{j\in \mathbb{N}_0}$ be a sequence of nonnegative numbers. A function $g \in W^{\infty,q}(\Omega)$ is said to satisfy \textit{global} $L^q$ \textit{Denjoy-Carleman estimates of order} $M$ if there exist constants $A,C > 0$ so that for every $d$-tuple of nonnegative integers $\alpha$ $\|D^\alpha g\|_{L^q(\Omega)} \leq C A^{|\alpha|} M_{|\alpha|}$. For a given cone $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{R}^d_y$ define the truncated cone $\Gamma_{\delta}=\Gamma \bigcap B_{\delta}(0)$. The authors provide sufficient conditions to assure the existence of boundary values in the space of ultradistributions of certain continuous functions with controlled growth in $L^p$ defined on wedges $\mathcal{W}:=\Omega \times \Gamma_{\delta}\subset \mathbb{R}_x^d \times \mathbb{R}_x^d$. These ultradistributions are exactly the ones that are dual to the space of global $L^q$ Denjoy-Carleman functions. \par The authors use the Fourier-Brós-Iagolnitzer transform to define \textit{global wavefront sets} and prove a relationship between the inclusion of a direction in the global wavefront set and the existence of boundary values of sums of weighted $L^p$ functions defined in wedges. \par The final result is an application in which a global version of a classical result is proved: the relationship between the global characteristic set of a partial constant coefficients differential operator $P$ and the microglobal wavefront sets of $u$ and $Pu$.
