The paper explores global index formulas for one-dimensional holomorphic foliations.

We study continuous maps between differential manifolds from a microlocal point of view. In particular, we characterize the Lipschitz continuity of these maps in terms of the microsupport of the constant sheaf on their graph. Furthermore, we give lower and upper bounds on the microsupport of the graph of a continuous m…

Study non-integer power-law potentials for Schrödinger operators using Lie-Rinehart algebras.

We study the microlocal properties of the geodesic X-ray transform $\mathcal{X}$ on a manifold with boundary allowing the presence of conjugate points. Assuming that there are no self-intersecting geodesics and all conjugate pairs are nonsingular we show that the normal operator $\mathcal{N} = \mathcal{X}^t \circ \math…

We give a detailed microlocal study of X-ray transforms over geodesics-like families of curves with conjugate points of fold type. We show that the normal operator is the sum of a pseudodifferential operator and a Fourier integral operator. We compute the principal symbol of both operators and the canonical relation as…

The paper explains how microlocal analysis solves geometric inverse problems.

Let X be a C-infinity manifold. We construct a microlocalization functor $μ_X$ from the derived category of bounded complexes of ind-sheaves on X to the one on the cotangent bundle of X. This functor generalizes the classical theory of microlocalization.

Proves analyticity of quasinormal modes in Kerr and Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes.

To be prudent, the paper has been withdrawn by the authors, due an error (missing complex conjugate sign) in Equation (2.5). We are very grateful to Marco Brunella for pointed out the error.

This is the first paper of a series in which we plan to study spectral asymptotics for sub-Riemannian Laplacians and to extend results that are classical in the Riemannian case concerning Weyl measures, quantum limits, quantum ergodicity, quasi-modes, trace formulae.Even if hypoelliptic operators have been well studied…

This is the third and last in our series of papers concerning rough solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations expressed relative to wave coordinates. In this paper we prove an important result concerning Ricci defects of microlocalized solutions, stated and used in the proof of the crucial Asymptotics Theorem in our s…

The paper connects Legendrian links to cluster algebras via microlocal methods.

We obtain some improved essentially sharp Kakeya-Nikodym estimates for eigenfunctions in two-dimensions. We obtain these by proving stronger related microlocal estimates involving a natural decomposition of phase space that is adapted to the geodesic flow.

For convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds $Γ\backslash \mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ for which the dimension of the limit set satisfies $δ_Γ< n/2$, we show that the high-frequency Eisenstein series associated to a point $ξ$ "at infinity" concentrate microlocally on a measure supported by (the closure of) the set of points in the …

Rectangular peg problem solved for many curves.

Let $(M,g)$ be a simple Riemannian manifold. Under the assumption that the metric $g$ is real-analytic, it is shown that if the geodesic ray transform of a function $f\in L^{2}(M)$ vanishes on an appropriate open set of geodesics, then $f=0$ on the set of points lying on these geodesics. The approach is based on a micr…

Researchers extend microlocal analysis across event horizons of rotating black holes.

We study the geodesic X-ray transform $X$ on compact Riemannian surfaces with conjugate points. Regardless of the type of the conjugate points, we show that we cannot recover the singularities and therefore, this transform is always unstable (ill-posed). We describe the microlocal kernel of $X$ and relate it to the con…

The study estimates Reeb chords using sheaf theory and persistence.

This article deals with stability issues related to geodesic X-ray transforms, where an interplay between the (attenuation type) weight in the transform and the underlying geometry strongly impact whether the problem is stable or unstable. In the unstable case, we also explain what types of artifacts are expected in te…

We complete the microlocal study of the geodesic X-ray transform on Riemannian manifolds with Anosov geodesic flow initiated by Guillarmou and pursued by Guillarmou and the second author. We prove new stability estimates and clarify some properties of the operator $Π_m$, the generalized X-ray transform. These estimates…

In this article, we consider a generalized Radon transform that comes up in ultrasound reflection tomography. In our model, the ultrasound emitter and receiver move at a constant distance apart along a circle. We analyze the microlocal properties of the transform $R$ that arises from this model. As a consequence, we sh…

Let (M,g) be an analytic, compact, Riemannian manifold with boundary, of dimension n >= 2. We study a class of generalized Radon transforms, integrating over a family of hypersurfaces embedded in M, satisfying the Bolker condition [23]. Using analytic microlocal analysis, we prove a microlocal regularity theorem for ge…

This is the second in a series of three papers in which we initiate the study of very rough solutions to the initial value problem for the Einstein vacuum equations expressed relative to wave coordinates. By very rough we mean solutions which cannot be constructed by the classical techniques of energy estimates and Sob…

A systematic geometric theory for the ultradifferentiable (non-quasianalytic and quasianalytic) wavefront set similar to the well-known theory in the classic smooth and analytic setting is developed. In particular an analogue of Bony's Theorem and the invariance of the ultradifferentiable wavefront set under diffeomorp…

Several examples of non-compact manifolds $M_0$ whose geometry at infinity is described by Lie algebras of vector fields $V \subset Γ(TM)$ (on a compactification of $M_0$ to a manifold with corners $M$) were studied by Melrose and his collaborators. In math.DG/0201202 and math.OA/0211305, the geometry of manifolds desc…

Consider the Chern-Simons topological quantum field theory with gauge group SU(2) and level k. Given a knot in the 3-sphere, this theory associates to the knot exterior an element in a vector space. We call this vector the knot state and study its asymptotic properties when the level is large. The latter vector space b…

We propose two new approaches to the Tannakian Galois groups of holonomic D-modules on abelian varieties. The first is an interpretation in terms of principal bundles given by the Fourier-Mukai transform, which shows that they are almost connected. The second constructs a microlocalization functor relating characterist…

We use microlocal sheaf theory to show that if two knots have Legendrian isotopic conormal tori, then the knots are isotopic or mirror images.

On a Weinstein manifold, we define a constructible co/sheaf of categories on the skeleton. The construction works with arbitrary coefficients, and depends only on the homotopy class of a section of the Lagrangian Grassmannian of the stable symplectic normal bundle. The definition is as follows. Take any, possibly high …
