Regularity of Fourier integral operators with amplitudes in general Hörmander classes
AbstractWe prove the global $$L^p$$ L p -boundedness of Fourier integral operators that model the parametrices for hyperbolic partial differential equations, with amplitudes in classical Hörmander classes $$S^{m}_{\rho , \delta }(\mathbb {R}^n)$$ S ρ , δ m ( R n ) for parameters $$0\le \rho \le 1$$ 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 1 , $$0\le \delta <1$$ 0 ≤ δ < 1 . We also consider the regularity of operators with amplitudes in the exotic class $$S^{m}_{0, \delta }(\mathbb {R}^n)$$ S 0 , δ m ( R n ) , $$0\le \delta < 1$$ 0 ≤ δ < 1 and the forbidden class $$S^{m}_{\rho , 1}(\mathbb {R}^n)$$ S ρ , 1 m ( R n ) , $$0\le \rho \le 1.$$ 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 1 . Furthermore we show that despite the failure of the $$L^2$$ L 2 -boundedness of operators with amplitudes in the forbidden class $$S^{0}_{1, 1}(\mathbb {R}^n)$$ S 1 , 1 0 ( R n ) , the operators in question are bounded on Sobolev spaces $$H^s(\mathbb {R}^n)$$ H s ( R n ) with $$s>0.$$ s > 0 . This result extends those of Y. Meyer and E. M. Stein to the setting of Fourier integral operators.
