Recurrence of singularities for second order isotropic pseudodifferential operators

Abstract: Let

H

be a self-adjoint isotropic elliptic pseudodifferential operator of order

2

. Denote by

u (t)

the solution of the Schr"odinger equation

(i p a r t i a l_{t} - H) u = 0

with initial data

u (0) = u_{0}

. If

u_{0}

is compactly supported the solution

u (t)

is smooth for small

t > 0

, but not for all

t

. We determine the wavefront set of

u (t)

in terms of the wavefront set of

u_{0}

and the principal and subprincipal symbol of

H

.
