Introduction

differentiable functions are studied. Likewise, Chapter 2 is devoted to the basic definitions and properties of quasihomogeneous distributions. In particular, it is concerned with meromorphic f u n c t i o n s with values i n t h e set of quasihomogeneous distributions. The central tool for m o s t parts of the rest of the text is the so-called m e t h o d of taking quasihomogeneous averages which for homogeneous distributions was introduced by Girding C61 and the elements of which -again for the homogeneous c a s e - are also found in Volume 1 of Hormander's monograph Clll on linear partial differential equations. The method works w e l l i f X is locally p - b o u n d e d , i.e. if there exist p o s i t i v e continuous (resp. C")

functions on X which are quasihomogeneous of degree 1 .

The corresponding theory is expounded i n Chapters 3 (for functions) and 4 (for distributions). In particular, if X is locally p-bounded then the equation

( ***)

turns o u t to be always solvable in the set of quasihomogeneous distributions. However, the situation is not so nice i n case X is n o t locally p-bounded

(for

example if X = R").Then even for functions it is difficult to develop a sufficiently general theory of quasihomogeneous averages. A convenient way to do t h i s relies

o n meromorphic extension techniques. They, however, require the assumption " P E CO,+aC"

'*.

The corresponding theory is elaborated in Chapter 5. I t turns o u t

that for certain exceptional numbers m the averages obtained are not always quasihomogeneous but o n l y almost quasihomogeneous i n a sense made precise in Chapters 1 and 2 . For distributions on open subsets X of

R"

which are not locally p-bounded the

quasihomogeneous averages are introduced i n Chapter 6 . Since they depend on the quasihomogeneous averages of test functions one has to adhere to the assumption

" P E CO,+coC" ". Moreover, the flaws already found for functions in Chapter 5 entail that for certain values of m sometimes only so-called almost quasihomogeneous

distributions (introduced i n Chapter 2 ) are obtained as the result of t h e averaging procedure.

In C h a p t e r 7 t h e results of the preceding chapters are applied to t h e theory of quasihomogeneous multiplication equations on

IR" and - via the Fourier transform -

t o the theory o f quasihomogeneous linear partial differential equations on IR".

Introduction

As a consequence o f t h e r e s u l t s of C h ap t er 6 , there d o not always exist quasihomo-

geneous, but in general only a l m o s t quasihomogeneous solutions. In particular, in general only a l m o s t quasihomogeneous fundamental solutions e xist. Necessary and sufficient conditions o n q and T a r e given for t h e existence of quasihomogeneous s o l u t i o n s S of t h e equation

( ***).

Several examples a r e tre a te d in detail.

In particular, f o r t h e heat and f o r t h e Schrodinger ope ra tor all t h e quasihomogeneous fundamental s o l u t i o n s which a r e invariant under t h e action of t h e orthogona l g r o u p on t h e space variables ar e determined. C h a p te r 8 d e a l s

- still

under t h e assumption " p E C O , + a C "

"

- with a nothe r a spe c t

of t h e method of taking quasihomogeneous averages, namely t h a t i t a llow s to e x te n d quasihomogeneous distributions o n I R " \ ( O )

to t h e whole of IR".

Finally, in Chapter- 9 - under t h e assumption " p E IO.+mC"

'*

- the singularities of

quasihomogeneous distributions o n IRn a r e studied. The m ost suita ble t o o l s for describing them a r e t he quasihomogeneous wave f r ont sets introduced by R. Lascar and Rodino. In C h a p t e r 9 t h e necessary p a r t s from t h e theory of quasihomogeneous wave f r o n t s e t s a r e presented in a way t h a t keeps close to t h e presentation of (homogeneous) wave f r o n t sets in Hormander's monograph. In a similar spirit quasihomogeneous wave f r o n t sets with respect to Gevrey c la sse s a r e introduced and employed f o r t h e description of singularities of quasihomogeneous distributions. A s an example, f o r t h e h eat and f o r t h e Schrodinger ope ra tor quasihomogeneous wave fr o n t s e t s of the invariant fundamental solutions determined in Cha pte r 7 are computed.

One observes t h a t t h e map I O , + a C -

GL(n ; IR) , t H M, , is a continuous ( o r ra the r

real analytic ) representation of multiplicative g r o u ps. Among all such representations t h e o n e s defined by

(*)

ar e distinguished in t h a t they a r e in real diagonal

f o r m . I t t u r n s o u t t h a t nearly everything of t h e theory sketched above can b e extended to cover generalized functions which ar e quasihomogeneous with respect to an arbitrary continuous representations of 10,+mC in GL ( n ; IR). In particular,

representations which a r e in complex diagonal f o r m a re a dm itte d. The only drawback is t h a t t h e formulations of s o m e of t h e results and many a proof become much more complicated than in t h e real diagonal c a se ( t h i s is particularly so if

M is not se m i - si m p l e) . So, from t h e outset we a r e going

Chapter I

(Almost) Quasihomogeneous Functions. Definitions and Basic Properties

In section ( a ) of the present chapter we collect some basic facts on continuous representations of the multiplicative group 10,+aC in a finite dimensional vector space V . In particular, for the rest of the whole text w e fix such a representation, denoting its infinitesimal generator by M . The basic material on quasihomogeneous functions (with respect to this representation) is introduced in section ( b ) of this chapter. Section ( c ) is devoted to the treatment of quasihomogeneous polynomial functions on V . I f M is semi-simple they are easily described by means of mixed real-complex coordinates which are basic for much of the other material, as well.

If M is not semi-simple then the natural candidates for quasihomogeneous polynomial functions fail to be so but possess a more general type of invariance property, called almost quasihomogeneit,,. Section ( d ) contains some special examples

of quasihomogeneous polynomial functions i n case M is not semi-simple. In section ( e ) general almost quasihomogeneous functions are introduced, and their basic properties are exhibited. The f u l l motivation for the notion of almost quasihomogeneity w i l l come up in Chapter2. Section ( f ) is concerned with smooth positive functions x which are quasihomogeneous of degree 1 and w i t h the hypersurfaces S X : = x - ' ( 1 )associated w i t h them. The set Ltc(M1 of points where functions x a s above exist locally is described in section ( g ) . Finally, in section ( h ) , by means of s u c h functions x so-called quasihomogeneous polar coordinates are introduced and a few applications are given. There are several results of a more technical character which are required in later chapters. They can be skipped o n a first reading.

computation, and since by the Stone- WeierstraR theorem these functions are O

d

uniformly dense i n C ( T , @ ) the general case follows from the special one by approximation (see Arnold C 11 ,

5 11 . C , D , E ) .

Now w e fix a non-empty open subset W of Td. We first suppose that J contains Cb.+aC for some b > O . Let vETd. Denoting by v - '

the inverse of v with respect

to the multiplication of Td and applying (1.17) to non-negative continuous funct i o n s f w i t h support contained i n v

-I

W one finds a number t,ECb,+aC such that

y ( t v ) E V - ' ~ This . implies, in particular, that the set y ( C b . + a C ) is dense in T d , indeed. More generally, since the functions Tc'-Tcl,

z H z y ( t , ) . are continuous

one finds an open neighbourhood Z, of v in Td such that z y ( t , ) E W for every

z E Z , . Since Td is compact one can select a finite subset F of Td such that d

the sets Z, , v E F , cover the whole of T . Setting Rw:={ t,; v E F } we conclude that

( z y ( R w ) ) n W f Q ) for every zETc'.

In case J is bounded from above we apply the case treated above to -pi instead of pi and obtain a finite subset R,

of J having the properties above.

I t follows that the image of J under f o y is dense in K . Note that by (1.16) we have cl

R : = R,

found above has the property

( f ( z ) r ( R ) ) n U = f ( ( z y ( R ) ) n W ) # Q )for every Z E Td . Since f ( T C 1=) K =T(IR) the last part of the assertion is proved. For the proof of the last but one part we observe that t h e image of f o y is equal to K if and only if d = 1 .

Proof of Proposition 1.10. By the chain rule and by (1.5) and ( 1 . 4 ) we have (1.18)

i k ( t ) = t1 M t M x = tI M t i ; ( l ) .

This shows that i,

is immersive a t some point if and only if it is immersive a t

every point of 10,+ a t , Moreover, the equivalence ( a )

If g = m then t h e condition ( b ) means that a j ( z o ;h ) is quasihomogeneous of degree m for every j E Z . However, in general the latter is valid for j = ord (z,; h ) , only. For example, if g ( z ) = z , z c n , then ( b ) reads as

so that aj(z,; h ) is definitely not quasihomogeneous of degree m if j > ord(z,; h ) and if h does not vanish identically.

In order t o obtain information on the behaviour of a j ( z o ; h ) O M , for j > o r d ( z o ; h ) one could compute aj(z,; h o M , ) in terms of the Laurent coefficients of t g h . However, for fixed j only finitely many of them are involved. Therefore we prefer to examine the condition ( b ) for arbitrary finite sequences of distributions not regarding whether or not they appear as coefficients in a Laurent series.

So we fix N E N , distributions To,...,TN o n X , and a sequence of complex numbers c k , k E INN. The analogue of condition ( b ) becomes j-1

we have

a t ( t - r n U i ( t ) ) = t1( - m t - r n w j ( t ) + t - r n w i - l ( t ) ) . Consequently, for arbitrary a < c < d < b partial integration yields: d ( 3,

In general, f m , w can be defined by (5.60) if f m , " and f m , " are well-defined. Conditions ensuring t h i s are obtained by combining t h e results of sections ( a ) and ( b ) . So we assume i n this section that (5.17) holds and that for a fixed i n t e ger k c N o we have

holds for every m € @ \ X ( M ) . Since by ( i v ) the assumptions of Remark 2.54 are satisfied for N = k and j = 0 it follows that the preceding equations hold for arbitrary m E X ( M ) , as well. Moreover, since by property ( i v ) , again, the assumptions of Proposition 2.53 are satisfied for N = k and j = 0 , i.e. k? = - k - 1 , w e conclude that

and

Hence the condition (S.63) follows by property ( i v )

( v ) : by

Proposition 5.19 the assertion is valid for 9Rf,". To prove it for 9Rf,, w e

observe that by Lemma 5.4 i n the defining integral for f,,,,

we may interchange

differentiation and integration. Hence performing the computations done in the proof of Proposition 3.4 and taking (1.38) into account we arrive a t the desired formulas.

(vi):

t h i s is a special case of ( v ) or can similarly be proved directly.

(viil and Iviii): see Remarks 5.5 and 5.6 and Proposition 5.21. (is): One easily verifies that under the assumptions of Theorem 5.37 the results of sections ( b ) , ( c ) ,and ( d ) remain valid if in (5.28) the term if J'," is replaced by

t 0 . Alternatively. one could argue that f m , w . , , O , b , con-

verges pointwise t o f m , w as b + w .

NotationS.38. If k = O we write fm instead of f m . w . Note that under the assumptions of Theorem 5.37.(i) f,

is given by (3.1). More-

over, the assertion of Theorem 5,37.(iii) means that f,

is quasihomogeneous of

degree m in case mi?X(M) but may not be quasihomogeneous in case m € . U ( M ) .

Estimates for f m , w can be obtained from the results i n sections ( a ) - ( d ) . For the purposes i n the following chapters, it suffices to have estimates if f belongs

to

Y(V).Observe

that in this case the growth conditions (5.62) are satisfied.

( i ) , belongs to F. Note that the map P : Y ( V ) - + F , v H Q n , y @ , is linear, conti-

nuous and surjective, hence a homomorphism by Banach's open mapping theorem. Consequently, F is a quotient of the nuclear FrPchet-Schwartz space Y ( V ) , hence a nuclear FrPchet-Schwartz space itself by

Cthen XI = X, , and one obtains the assertion by combining Lemma 3.20 (applied to X,

instead of X )

and Proposition 6 . 3 . 8 . Suppose now that I is bounded, i.e. X I = X . Since for every x E X \ X , ( x ) ~ = { x and ) c ( x ) = O € l the condition ( 6 . 8 ) for

we have

K = ( x ) shows that L is con-

by Proposition 6.3.A.(ii) the same is satisfied i f L is a weakly

(M,I)-bounded subset of X we may assume t h i s to be valid. B u t then (6.8)becomes (3.19)' so that bq Lemma 3.20 the condition ( 6 . 8 ) holds for every compact subset K of X, if and only if L i s an (M,I)-bounded subset of X, . By Proposition6.3.A.(i) t h i s means that L is a weakly (M,I)-bounded subset of X . Hence, to complete the proof w e have t o show that if ( 6 . 8 ) is valid for every compact subset K of X, it is so for everj compact subset K of X , as well.

To prove this we choose such a compact subset K of X and by Remark 5.56 find n V, = J M . By Lemma 5.9 and by (5.70) J is a subset of X , . Since we assumed that L C X , the set c ( L n K M )n I is cona compact subset J of V,

such that

For every R E D ' ( X " I the distribution

on X with support contained in X \ X + which is quasihomogeneous of degree - p . lii)

Proof. (il:Denoting the distribution (6.23) by T we observe that the support of

T , being equal to ( 0 )x supp R , is a closed subset of X . Hence, Remark 4.1 shows that T extends to a distribution d € B ' ( X ) with the same support as T . I t is immediately seen that T is quasihomogeneous of degree -p so that ( d M + p ) T= O . Since d vanishes on X,

so does ( d M + ( l ) d . Hence, ( a M + I i ) d = O ,i.e. d is quasihomo-

geneous of degree - p , a s well.

(iil.

Similarly, applying Proposition 5.13 and Corollaries 5.29

Inserting the preceding equations into (7.53.a) and comparing coefficients w e arrive a t the equations

Observing that t h e elements of 9 , + 2 ( V * )

are precisely the polynomial functions

which are homogeneous of degree g+2 so that a j , k - h , h = 0 and hence A j , k = O i f j + k # g + Z we deduce that bi,k-O if j + k f p . I t follows that the first of the pre-

ceding equations gives (7.55)

a,*2,0.0 = 0

and the other ones lead to

We can now show by induction on k that, actually, the function Bk is a polynomial function of degree 5 k . Indeed, since the coefficients of a polynomial function on !R2are universal linear combinations of its derivatives a t an arbitrarily chosen point of ( l R \ ( O ) ) x l R , say ( l , l ) , we conclude in view of (7.S3.b) that the functions bj,k are linear combinations of t h e functions R-43,

In particular, the functions Bk are C” o n the whole of R . Hence, i n view of (7.56.b) we deduce that the zero order coefficient in A , , a p + l , l , o , vanishes so

Note that in view of Remark 7.55 the polynomial functions q appearing i n Proposition 7.60 satisfy the conditions OF Theorem 7.51 i f M is replaced by Id,;

in other

words, for these q the equation (7.34) has a homogeneous solution S for every homogeneous distribution T on V . Finally, I would like to point out that in case M is not semi-simple I cannot produce an example q such that the conditions of Theorem 7.51 are violated. On the other hand, the q’s appearing i n Proposition 7.60 seem to be too simple as to lend support to the conjecture that in case M is not semi-simple the conditions of Theorem 7.51 be always valid.

I n t h i s section w e suppose that V = I R x l R ” and that for some fixed w = v - i u ~ C \ ( O )

q is of the Form (7.58)

Moreover. in this section we set

Obviously, q is quasihomogeneous (of degree 2 ) . It is also invariant under orthogonal transformations of the space variables. We are going to describe the fundamental solutions of q ( D) having the corresponding invariance properties. For the sake of brevity, in the present section we are going to use the following terminology:

Chapter IX

Quasihomogeneous Wave Front Sets

The present chapter contains the basic theory of quasihomogeneous wave front sets of type M where t h i s t i m e M is a linear endomorphism of V* s u c h that all

of its eigenvalues have positive real part. These types of wave front sets generalize the classical notion of (homogeneous) wave front set (see Hormander C111) which appears a s the special case M=ld,*.

As in t h e classical case, they lead

to a refined description of the singularities of distributions. In fact, the main result of the present chapter (Theorem 9.34 in section ( c ) below) shows that the singu-

larities of distributions on V which are quasihomogeneous of type M* are best described in terms of quasihomogeneous wave front s e t s of type M . With the quasihomogeneous wave front s e t s the basic idea is as follows: for every

v ~ 8 ' ( V )one keeps track of the behaviour of $ along the quasihomogeneous rays

{ M , < ; r E C l , + o o C } , < € S V * ,where by S p we denote the u n i t sphere of V* w i t h respect t o a scalar product satisfying (1.79) w i t h V replaced by V*. In case M is a real diagonal matrix quasihomogeneous wave front sets have been introduced

by R. Lascar in C121 in the context of quasihomogeneous pseudodifferential operators.

In section ( a ) w e treat the basic properties of the quasihomogeneous wave front s e t s keeping as close a s possible to Hormander's way of presenting the theory of (homogeneous) wave front s e t s in C111 (compare also

5 1.6 in

Hormander 1101).

In a similar spirit in section ( b ) we introduce Gevrey type versions of quasihomo-

geneous wave front sets which include those by Rodino C161 ( s e e also Liess-Rodin0 C131 and the literature cited there). Section ( c ) is devoted to the main theorem of t h i s chapter alluded to above. In addition, two further propositions on wave front set inclusions are given. Again, all these results generalize corresponding results in C 11 1 .

Since s u p p T C q-'(O) we deduce from Proposition 9.31, Remark 9.30, and ( 9 . 6 6 ) t h a t

Since t h e distribution Sm*,k defined in (7.60) is real valued it follows t h a t t h e distribution T m , k defined in Theorem 7.77' satisfies t h e assumption of Remark 9.6. ( i i ) .
