Propagation of global analytic singularities for Schrödinger equations with quadratic Hamiltonians (Q2149501)

The author considers the Cauchy problem for Schrödinger equations with Hamiltonians given by quadratic forms \(q\) having negative real part. The Weyl operators with symbols q are maximally accretive and generate a contraction semigroup, see [\textit{L. Hörmander}, Math. Z. 219, No. 3, 413--449 (1995; Zbl 0829.35150)]. The action of such propagators on the micro-singularities of the initial datum was studied recently by many authors in terms of the global wave front set of [\textit{L. Hörmander}, Lect. Notes Math. 1495, 118--160 (1991; Zbl 0761.35004)], re-considered under the name Gabor wave front in \textit{L. Rodino} and \textit{P. Wahlberg} [Monatsh. Math. 173, No. 4, 625--655 (2014; Zbl 1366.42030)]. In particular, a result of propagation can be expressed by using the so-called singular space \(S\) of \(q\) and the Hamiltonian flow associated to \(q\), see for example [\textit{K. Pravda-Starov}, Math. Ann. 372, No. 3--4, 1335--1382 (2018; Zbl 1405.35270)]. In this context, the author considers in the present paper the \(s\)-Gelfand-Shilov variant of the Gabor wave front set, extending to the limit case \(s=1/2\) the results of \textit{M. Cappiello} and \textit{R. Schulz} [Complex Var. Elliptic Equ. 61, No. 4, 538--561 (2016; Zbl 1339.35014)], \textit{E. Carypis} and \textit{P. Wahlberg} [J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 23, No. 3, 530--571 (2017; Zbl 1377.35228)]. The proof uses a new approach, based entirely on FBI techniques, see [\textit{J. Sjöstrand}, Astérisque 95, 1--166 (1982; Zbl 0524.35007)]. In particular, by a calculus of Fourier integral operators in the complex domain, the author obtains a sharp propagation identity for the 1/2 Gelfand-Shilov wave front of the initial datum. The result is interesting and surprising, since the preceding contributions for the Gabor wave front provided only an inclusion.
