Abstract: We study a class of hyperbolic Cauchy problems, associated with linear operators and systems with polynomially bounded coefficients, variable multiplicities and involutive characteristics, globally defined on R^n. We prove well-posedness in Sobolev-Kato spaces, with loss of smoothness and decay at infinity. We also obtain results about propagation of singularities, in terms of wave-front sets describing the evolution of both smoothness and decay singularities of temperate distributions. Moreover, we can prove the existence of random-field solutions for the associated stochastic Cauchy problems. To this aim, we first discuss algebraic properties for iterated integrals of suitable parameter-dependent families of Fourier integral operators, associated with the characteristic roots, which are involved in the construction of the fundamental solution. In particular, we show that, also for this operator class, the involutiveness of the characteristics implies commutative properties for such expressions.


The paper under review considers Cauchy problems for a class of weakly hyperbolic operators on \(\mathbb R^n\). Short time solutions and their wave front sets are described in terms of SG Fourier integral operators. A stochastic version is also studied.
