The formal asymptotic expansion of an oscillatory integral whose phase function has one nondegenerate critical point is a formal distribution supported at the critical point which is applied to the amplitude. This formal distribution is called a formal oscillatory integral (FOI). We introduce the notion of a formal oscillatory distribution supported at a point. We prove that a formal distribution is given by some FOI if and only if it is an oscillatory distribution that has a certain nondegeneracy property. We also prove that a star product ⋆ on a Poisson manifold M is natural in the sense of Gutt and Rawnsley if and only if the formal distribution f ⊗ g ↦ ( f ⋆ g ) ( x ) is oscillatory for every x ∈ M.

Forn≥2, letMbe ann-dimensional smooth closed manifold andf:M→Ra smooth function. We setminf(M)=mand assume thatmis attained by unique pointp∈Msuch thatpis a nondegenerate critical point. Then the Morse lemma tells us that ifais slightly bigger thanm,f-1(a)is diffeomorphic toSn-1. In this paper, we relax the condition onpfrom being nondegenerate to being an isolated critical point and obtain the same consequence. Some application to the topology of polygon spaces is also included.

AbstractCritical point behaviour of the diffusion length γ for the solutions of the radiative transfer equation deep in a homogenous medium is studied. The Legendre expansion of the medium's phase function P(cos ψ) is taken to be an infinite series and is characterized by the parameters h0, h1h2,…. A characteristic equation for γ is given in terms of an infinite continued fraction. From this equation it is shown that as any one of the hn, say hp, approaches zero, the others being held constant, γ behaves as , where the critical exponent is found to be vp = ½ for all p = 0, 1, 2,….

AbstractIn this paper we construct a family of variational families for a Legendrian embedding, into the 1-jet bundle of a closed manifold, that can be obtained from the zero section through Legendrian embdeddings, by discretising the action functional. We compute the second variation of a generating funciton obtained as above at a nondegenerate critical point and prove a formula relating the signature of the second variation to the Maslov index as the mesh goes to zero. We use this to prove a generlisation of the Morse inequalities thus refining a theorem of Chekanov.

We consider a biharmonic equation under the Navier boundary condition and with a nearly critical exponent (Pε):∆2u=u9−ε,u>0inΩandu=∆u=0on∂Ω, whereΩis a smooth bounded domain inℝ5,ε>0. We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of (Pε) which are minimizing for the Sobolev quotient asεgoes to zero. We show that such solutions concentrate around a pointx0∈Ωasε→0, moreoverx0is a critical point of the Robin's function. Conversely, we show that for any nondegenerate critical pointx0of the Robin's function, there exist solutions of (Pε) concentrating aroundx0asε→0.

We consider the formal asymptotic expansion of probability distribution of the sums of independent random variables. The approximation was made by using infinitely divisible probability distributions.

The boundary value problem for the steady Navier–Stokes system is considered in a 2D bounded domain with the boundary having a power cusp singularity at the point O. The case of a boundary value with a nonzero flow rate is studied. In this case there is a source/sink in O and the solution necessarily has an infinite Dirichlet integral. The formal asymptotic expansion of the solution near the singular point is constructed and the existence of a solution having this asymptotic decomposition is proved.

The paper is concerned with an asymptotic behaviour of a contour integral with three critical points: a saddle point, a pole and a branch point. Two leading terms of a uniform asymptotic expansion of the integral have been effectively constructed. The expansion remains valid as its critical points approach one another or coalesce. In the special case that the saddle point is bounded away from one of the remaining critical points, or from both, the expansion reduces to simpler in form quasi-uniform and non-uniform expansions, respectively. With the aid of the non-uniform expansion the integral has been interpreted as describing three different waves, each one associated with a corresponding critical point.
