Pseudodifferential operators of Beurling type and the wave front set (Q2470508)

The authors study the action of pseudodifferential operators on ultra-distributions of Beurling and Roumieu types. For a weight function \(\omega\) appearing in the definition of the space of ultradistributions [see, for example, \textit{R.\,W.\thinspace Braun, R.\,Meise} and \textit{B.\,A.\thinspace Taylor}, Result.\ Math.\ 17, No.\,3/4, 206--237 (1990; Zbl 0735.46022)], denote by \(WF_{\{ \omega \}}u\) the Roumieu \(\omega\)-wave front set of an ultra-distribution \(u\). It is shown that \[ WF_{\{\omega\}}u=\overline{\bigcup_{\sigma\in S}WF_{(\sigma )}u}, \] where \(WF_{(\sigma )}u\) is the Beurling \(\sigma\)-wave front set and \(S\) is a suitable family of weights dominated by \(\omega\). The main result of the paper is a theorem stating that the Beurling wave front set is reduced under the action of pseudodifferential operators of an appropriate class. This implies a micro-hypoellipticity property. Micro-hypoellipticity results in the Roumieu setting are also obtained.
