On a Microlocal Version of Young's Product Theorem

A key result in distribution theory is Young's product theorem which states that the product between two Hölder distributions $u\in\mathcal{C}^α(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and $v\in\mathcal{C}^β(\mathbb{R}^d)$ can be unambiguously defined if $α+β>0$. We revisit the problem of multiplying two Hölder distributions from the viewpoint of microlocal analysis, using techniques proper of Sobolev wavefront set. This allows us to establish sufficient conditions which allow the multiplication of two Hölder distributions even when $α+β\leq 0$.

Besov Wavefront Set

We develop a notion of wavefront set aimed at characterizing in Fourier space the directions along which a distribution behaves or not as an element of a specific Besov space. Subsequently we prove an alternative, albeit equivalent characterization of such wavefront set using the language of pseudo-differential operators. Both formulations are used to prove the main underlying structural properties. Among these we highlight the individuation of a sufficient criterion to multiply distributions with a prescribed Besov wavefront set which encompasses and generalizes the classical Young's theorem. At last, as an application of this new framework we prove a theorem of propagation of singularities for a large class of hyperbolic operators.

Reconstruction Theorem for Germs of Distributions on Smooth Manifolds

The reconstruction theorem is a cornerstone of the theory of regularity structures [Hai14]. In [CZ20] the authors formulate and prove this result in the language of distributions theory on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, without any reference to the original framework. In this paper we generalize their constructions to the case of distributions over a generic $d$-dimensional smooth manifold $M$, proving the reconstruction theorem in this setting. This is done having in mind the extension of the theory of regularity structures to smooth manifolds.
