The main purpose of this work is to study the propagation of the wave front set in Gevrey classes \(WF_{G(\kappa)}u\) of the solutions of the Cauchy problem for hyperbolic equations with characteristics of variable multiplicities. The authors reduce this problem to the analysis of the first order pseudo-differential system \({\mathcal L}u(t)=0\), \(u(0)=f\) when the principal symbol of \({\mathcal L}\) is diagonal. They prove that the wave front \(WF_{G(\kappa)}u(t)\) is included in the set \(\Gamma (t,WF_{G(\kappa)}(f))\). Roughly speaking, the set \(\Gamma(t,V)\) is formed by the conic hull of the set of end points at \(\sigma =t\) of all \(\epsilon\)-admissible trajectories \(\gamma(\sigma)\) issued from \((y,\eta)\in V\). The \(\epsilon\)-admissible trajectories represent an \(\epsilon\)-approximation of the so called broken null-bicharacteristics. The proofs are based on a deep and careful examination of Fourier integral operators in Gevrey classes and on their multiproducts.
