Abstract. — We prove the (local in time) Strichartz estimates (for the full range ofparameters given by the scaling unless the end point) for asymptotically flat and nontrapping perturbations of the flat Laplacian in Rn, n ! 2. The main point of theproof, namely the dispersion estimate, is obtained in constructing a parametrix. Themain tool for this construction is the use of the FBI transform.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF THE RESULT
The purpose of this work is to provide a proof of the full (local in time) Strichartzestimates for the Schrodinger operator related to a non trapping asymptotically flatperturbation of the usual Laplacian in Rn.
Let "0 be in ]0, 1[. We introduce a space of symbols which decay like "x#!1!!0
where "x# = (1 + |x|2)1/2. More precisely we set(1.0.1)
B!0 =!a $ C"(Rn) : %# $ Nn, &C" > 0 : |$"a(x)| " C"
"x#1+|"|+!0, %x $ Rn

Let P be a second order di!erential operator,

j,k=1 gjk(x) %j %k. (Here gjk = gkj).We shall make the following assumptions.
'(((()

(i) The coe"cients gjk, bj , V are real valued, 1 " j " k " n.
(ii) There exists "0 > 0 such that gjk ' &jk $ B!0 , bj $ B!0 .Here &jk is the Kronecker symbol.
(iii) V $ L"(Rn).
(1.0.3)
There exists ' > 0 such that for every (x, %) in Rn ( Rn, p(x, %) ! ' |%|2.(1.0.4)
Then P has a self-adjoint extension with domain H2(Rn).Now we associate to the symbol p the bicharacteristic flow given by the following
equations for j = 1, . . . , n,

xj(t) =$p
$%j(x(t), %(t)), xj(0) = xj ,
%j(t) = ' $p
$xj(x(t), %(t)), %j(0) = %j .
We shall denote by (x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %)) the solution, whenever it exists, of the system(1.0.5). In fact it is an easy consequence of (1.0.3) and (1.0.4) that this flow exists for

all t in R. Indeed by (1.0.4) we have
' |%(t)|2 " p(x(t), %(t)) = p(x, %),
and it follows from (1.0.4) that

Our last assumption will be the following.

|x(t, x, %)| = +).
This means that the flow is not trapped backward nor forward. Now let us denote bye!itP the solution of the following initial value problem

*i$u
$t' Pu = 0
u(0, ·) = u0.
Then the main result of this work is the following.
Theorem 1.0.1. — Assume that the operator P satisfies the conditions (1.0.3),(1.0.4), (1.0.6). Let T > 0 and (q, r) be a couple of real numbers such that q > 2 and2q = n
2 ' nr . Then there exists a positive constant C such that
(1.0.8) *e!itP u0*Lq([!T,T ],Lr(Rn)) " C *u0*L2(Rn),
for all u0 in L2(Rn).
Such estimates are known in the literature under the name of Strichartz estimates.They have been proved for the flat Laplacian by Strichartz [Str] when p = q = 2n+4
n
and extended to the full range of (p, q) given by the scaling by Ginibre-Velo [GV]and Yajima [Y]. The limit case q = 2 (the end point) when n ! 3 is due to Keel-Tao[KT]. These estimates have been a key tool in the study of non linear equations. Veryrecently several works appeared showing a new interest for such estimates in the caseof variable coe"cients. Sta"lani-Tataru [ST] proved Theorem 1.0.1 under conditions(1.0.4) and (1.0.6) for compactly supported perturbations of the flat Laplacian. In [B]Burq gave an alternative proof of this result using the work of Burq-Gerard-Tzvetkov[BGT]. In the same work Burq announced without proof that if you accept to replacein the right hand side of (1.0.8) the L2 norm by an H# norm, for any small ( > 0,then you can weaken the decay hypotheses on the coe"cients of P in the sense thatyou may replace in the definition (1.0.1) of B!0 the power |#| + 1 + "0 by |#| + "0.We have also to mention a recent work of Hassell-Tao-Wunsch [HTW1] who provedin dimension n = 3 a weaker form of our result corresponding to the case whereq = 4, r = 3, under conditions similar to ours. Still more recently these three authorsannounced the same result as ours under hypotheses on the coe"cients similar to ours(see [HTW2]).

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF THE RESULT 3
It is also worthwhile to mention the work of Burq-Gerard-Tzvetkov who investigatethe Strichartz estimates on compact Riemannian manifolds. In that case they showthat such estimates hold with the L2 norm replaced by the H1/q norm. In the samepaper these authors show that the same result holds on Rn when the coe"cients oftheir Laplacian (and its derivatives) are merely bounded. Let us note also that theseestimates concern also the wave equation and many works have been devoted to thiscase. However we would like to emphasize that, due to the finite speed of propagation,the extension to the variable coe"cients case appear to be much less technical (see[SS]).
Let us now give some ideas on the proof. It is by now well known that a proofof the Strichartz estimates can be done using a dispersion result, duality argumentsand the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev lemma. This has been formulated as an abstractresult in the paper [KT] as follows. Assume that for every t $ R we have an operatorU(t) which maps L2(Rn) to L2(Rn) and satisfies,
')
*(i) *U(t) f*L2(Rn) " C *f*L2(Rn), % t $ R, C independent of t,
(ii) *U(s)(U(t))# g*L!(Rn) " C |t ' s|!n/2 *g*L1(Rn), t += s,
then the Strichartz estimates (1.0.5) hold for U(t). It is not di"cult to see that theserious estimate to be proved is (ii). In the case when U(t) = eit!0 (the flat Laplacian)this estimate is obtained by the explicit formula giving the solution in term of thedata u0. In the variable coe"cients case such a formula is of course out of hope andthe better we can have is a parametrix. However due to strong technical di"culties(which we try to explain below) which seem to be serious we are not able to writea parametrix for e!itP so we have to explain what we do instead. First of all let)0 $ C"
0 (Rn) be such that )0(x) = 1 if |x| " 32 and supp)0 , ['1, 1]. With a large
R > 0 we write
e!itP u0(x) = )0
+ x
R
,e!itP u0(x) +
+1 ' )0
+ x
R
,,e!itP u0(x) = v + w.
It is not di"cult to see that the Strichartz estimates for v will be ensured by the resultof Sta"lani-Tataru [ST] while the same estimate for w leads to consider an operatorwhich is a small perturbation of the Laplacian (see Chapter 2).
Now it is not a surprise that microlocal analysis is strongly needed in our proof.So let %0 $ Rn, |%0| = 1 be a fixed direction. Let *0 $ C"(R), *0(s) = 1 if s " 3
4 ,*0(s) = 0 if s ! 1, 0 " *0 " 1 and let us set *+(x) = *0
$'x · %0/&1
%, *!(x) =
*0
$x · %0/&1
%, &1 > 0. We set U+(t) = *+ e!itP , U!(t) = *! e!itP . Now since
*+(x) + *!(x) ! 1 for all x in Rn then Strichartz estimates separately for U+(t) andU!(t) will give the result. It is therefore su"cient to prove the estimate (ii) abovefor U+(s) (U+(t))# = *+ ei(s!t)P *+ (and for U!(s)(U!(t))#). In our proof we shallconstruct a parametrix for these operators.

4 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF THE RESULT
Our construction relies heavily on the theory of FBI transform (see Sjostrand [Sj]and Melin-Sjostrand [MS]) viewed as a Fourier integral operator with complex phase.One of the reason of our choice is that in our former works on the analytic smoothinge!ect [RZ2] we have already done similar constructions (but only near the outgoingpoints: see below). Let us explain very roughly the main ideas. The standard FBItransform is given by
(1.0.9) Tv(#, +) = cn +3n/4

where # = (#x, #%) $ Rn ( Rn and cn is a positive constant.Let us note that the phase can be written i+)0 where )0(y, #) = i
2 (y'(#x+i#%))2.Then T maps L2(Rn) into the space L2(R2n, e!$|"!|2 d#). The adjoint T # of T is givenby a similar formula (see (6.1.2)) and we have,
(1.0.10) T #T is the identity operator on L2(Rn).
We embed the transform T into a continuous family of FBI transform

Let us set U(!, t, #, +) = T&[K±(t)u0](#, +), where K±(t) = *± e!itP *±. Then it isshown that if ) satisfies the eikonal equation,

and if the symbol a satisfies appropriate transport equations then U is a solution ofthe following equation +$U

It follows that essentially we have, U(!, t, #, +) = V (! ' +t, #, +). In particular thisshows that U(0, t, #, +) = U('+t, 0, #, +). Written in terms of the transformations T&
this readsT [K±(t)u0](#, +) = T!$t[*2
± u0](#, +).Applying T # to both members and using (1.0.10) we obtain
K±(t)u0(x) = T #{T!$t[*2± u0](·, +)}(t, x).
Thus we have expressed the solution in terms of the data through a Fourier integraloperator with complex phase.
This short discussion shows that as usual the main point of the proof is to solvethe eikonal and transport equations. Let us point out the main di"culties whichoccur in solving these equations. They are of three types: the bad behavior of theflow from incoming points and for large time, the global (in !, x) character of allour constructions and the mixing of C" coe"cients and complex variables (comingfrom the non real character of our phase). Let us discuss each of them. First of all

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF THE RESULT 5
whatever the method you use to solve an eikonal equation (symplectic geometry oranother one) a precise description of the flow of the symbol p is needed. Let us recall(see (1.0.5)) that our flow (x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %)), issued from the point (x, %) $ T #Rn!0,is defined for all t $ R. In the case of the flat Laplacian we have %(t, x, %) = % andx(t, x, %) = x + 2t%. Let now (x, %) $ T #Rn ! {0} and assume that x · % ! 0. Thenit is easy to see that |x(t, x, %)|2 ! |x|2 + 4t2 |%|2 for t ! 0 so that |x(t, x, %)| becomeslarger and larger while x(t, x, %) may vanish for a large t < 0. Such a point is called“outgoing for t ! 0” and “incoming for t < 0”. In the case of a perturbed Laplacianthis distinction between the directions is very important. Indeed although the flowfrom outgoing points for t ! 0 is very well described for t ! 0 and has very similarproperties to the flat case, it has a bad behavior for t < 0 in what concerns itsderivatives with respect to (x, %). For instance (xj
(%k(t, x, %) does not behave at all as
2t &jk. This is of great importance and causes some trouble in the proof. Howeverstill when t < 0, the flow behaves correctly as long as the point (x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %))is outgoing for t ! 0. Roughly speaking that is the reason why we are not able toconstruct a parametrix for e!itP while it is possible for the operator *± e!itP *±. TheChapter 3 is entirely devoted to a careful study of the flow. Let us now describe ourmethod of resolution of the eikonal equation. The classical method uses the ideasof symplectic geometry. Roughly speaking the manifold constructed from the flowis a Lagrangian manifold on which the symbol , + p(x, %) is constant. If it projects(globally) and clearly on the basis then it is a graph of some function ) which is thedesired phase. However this general method leads immediately to a di"culty in ourcase. Indeed since we want that for ! = 0 the phase ) coincides with the phase )0 ofthe FBI transform (see (1.0.9)) which is non real, we should take, in solving the flow,data which are non real, so the flow itself would be non real; but our symbol has merelyC" coe"cients. To circumvent this di"culty a method has been proposed by Melin-Sjostrand [MS] which uses the almost analytic machinery. Another method, di!erentin spirit, that the one described above and known under the name of “Lagrangianideals”, has been introduced by Hormander [H]. Here the initial data in the flow arekept real. Let us set uj(x, %) = %j ' ('0
(xj(x, %) = %j '#j
% ' i(xj '#jx). Then obviously
we have {uj, uk} = 0 if j += k (where {, } denotes the Poisson bracket). Now let usset vj(!, x, %) = uj(x('!, x, %), %('!, x, %)), j = 1, . . . , n. Then for every ! in R thePoisson bracket of vj and vk still vanishes if j += k. Thus the ideal generated by thevj ’s is closed under the Poisson bracket. The main step in Hormander’s method is toshow that this ideal is generated by functions of the form %j ' #j(!, x, #). This willimply that one can find a function ) = )(!, x, #) such that ('
(xj(!, x, #) = #j(!, x, #)
and it turns out that ) is the desired phase. To achieve its main step, Hormanderuses a precise version of the Malgrange preparation theorem which is discussed in [H],tome 1. This is the way we chose to use in our case. It occupies all Chapter 4 of thepaper. The proof is made separately for outgoing and incoming points. Since the vj ’sare defined by mean of the backward flow, in both cases we encounter the di"culty

caused by the bad behavior of the flow from incoming points. As it can be seen manytechnical di"culties arise in the procedure.
The next step in the proof is the resolution of the transport equations. Here alsothe cases of outgoing and incoming points have to be separated. We have also tobe careful since these are first order equations with non real C" coe"cients. Thefirst case is easier. Indeed due to the good behavior of the flow and the decay of theperturbation one can cut the Taylor expansion of the coe"cients of the vector field tosome order and thus reduce ourselves to the case of polynomial coe"cients. Then byclassical holomorphic methods one can solve the equations modulo flat terms whichwill be enough for our purpose. In the second case there is no more such an asymptoticand the situation is much more intricate. So we use the classical idea which consists instraightening the vector field. This forces us to enter in the almost analytic machineryof Melin-Sjostrand [MS] (see Chapter 5). Of course all the constructions made aboveare done microlocally and in a neighborhood of the bicharacteristic. Therefore todefine the general FBI transform T& (see (1.0.11)) as well as to pass from the standardT to T!$t we have to insert many microlocal cut-o!. Of course we have to check ateach microlocalization that the remainder leads to an acceptable error. This is thegoal of Chapter 6. At this stage of the proof the operator K±(t) = *± e!itP *± iswritten as
K±(t)u0(x) =-
k±(t, x, y)u0(y) dy
wherek±(t, x, y) =
-ei$F (!$t,x,y,") a(+t, x, y, #) d#.
Thus the dispersion estimate would follow from the bound
|k±(t, x, y)| " C
|t|n/2
for 0 < |t| " T .Here we have two regimes according to the fact that |+t| ! 1 or |+t| " 1. In the
first case on the support of a(+t, x, y, #) we could be very far from the critical pointof F . Fortunately the phase F has enough convexity to produce the desired boundof k±. In the second regime we are close to the critical point of F so we expect astationary phase method to work. However since the phase F is non real and since thedeterminant of its Hessian in # degenerates in some direction when |+t| . 0 we cannotapply the standard results as they appear in [H]. Instead, after a careful study ofthe phase F we use merely an integration by part method with an appropriate vectorfield to conclude. This is done in Chapter 7. The rest of this part is devoted, usingthe Littlewood-Paley theory, to the end of the proof of our main Theorem.
Finally an Appendix gathers the proofs of some technical results used in the paper.

CHAPTER 2
PRELIMINARIES AND REDUCTION TO THE CASE OFA SMALL PERTURBATION OF THE LAPLACIAN
2.1. Preliminaries
We begin by recalling several earlier results which will be used in the sequel.The first result concerns the case of compactly supported perturbations of the
Laplacian.
Theorem 2.1.1 (Sta"lani-Tataru [ST]). — Let P be defined by (1.0.2). Assumethat P satisfies (1.0.4), (1.0.6) and
(2.1.1) for j, k = 1, . . . , n, gjk ' &jk, bj , V are compactly supported.
Then the Strichartz estimates (1.0.8) hold.
The second result which we recall is the extension to the variable coe"cients caseby Doı [D] of the Kato smoothing e!ect. Let us introduce the following space. Weset for s, µ in R
Hsµ(Rn) = {u $ S% : "x#µ (I ' $)s/2 u $ L2(Rn)}
with its standard norm.
Theorem 2.1.2 (Doı [D]). — Let P be defined by (1.0.2) and assume it satisfies theconditions (1.0.3), (1.0.4), (1.0.6). Then for all T > 0 and all " > 1
2 one can find aconstant C ! 0 such that,
(2.1.2) *e!itP u0*L2([!T,T ],H1/2"# (Rn))
" C *u0*L2(Rn),
for all u0 in L2(Rn).
We shall also use the following result.
Lemma 2.1.3 (Keel-Tao [KT]). — Let (X, dx) be a measure space, H a Hilbert spaceand T > 0. Suppose that for each time t $ ['T, T ] we have an operator U(t) : H .L2(X) which satisfies the following estimates.

(i) There exists C1 ! 0 such that for all t $ ['T, T ] and all f $ H,
*U(t) f*L2(X) " C1 *f*H .
(ii) There exists C2 ! 0 such that for all t, s $ ['T, T ], t += s and all g $ L1(X),
*U(t)(U(s))# g*L!(X) " C2 |t ' s|!n/2 *g*L1(X).
Let (q, r) be a couple of real numbers such that q ! 2, r < +) and 2q = n

there exists C ! 0 such that for all f in H
*U(t) f*Lq([!T,T ],Lr(X)) " C *f*H .
This result will be used in the sequel with H = L2(Rn), X = Rn.Finally let’s recall the following technical lemma.
Lemma 2.1.4 (Christ-Kiselev [CK]). — Let X, Y be two Banach spaces and K(t, s)be a continuous function taking its values in B(X, Y ), the space of bounded linearmappings from X to Y . Let ') " a < b " +) and set
Sf(t) =- b
aK(t, s) f(s) ds
Wf(t) =- t

Let 1 " p < q " +). Then if we can find a constant C > 0 such that
*Sf*Lq((a,b),Y ) " C *f*Lp((a,b),X)
it follows that
*Wf*Lq((a,b),Y ) " 2!2( 1p! 1

Using these results we shall see that Theorem 1.0.1 will be a consequence of thefollowing Theorem.
Theorem 2.1.5. — Let us set $g =&n

Let us show how Theorem 2.1.5 implies Theorem 1.0.1.Let us set I = [0, T ]. (The case I = ['T, 0] is symmetric). Using (1.0.2) we can

Gathering the informations given by (2.1.4), (2.1.5), (2.1.7) and (2.1.11) we obtainthe conclusion of Theorem 1.0.1. So we are left with the proof of Theorem 2.1.5.
2.2. Reduction to a small perturbation
The purpose of this Section is to show that, using the result of 2.1 one can reducethe proof of Theorem 2.1.5 to the case of a small perturbation of the flat Laplacian.
Let ) be in C"0 (Rn). We write eit !gu0 = u and
(2.2.1) u = )u + (1 ' ))u = v + w.

one can write
(2.2.2) (i $t + $g) v = (i $t + $ + )1($g ' $))1) v = [$g, )] u
and )1($g ' $) is a compactly supported perturbation of the flat Laplacian. Let usset 2P = '$ ' )1($g ' $))1. We have, from (2.2.2)
(2.2.3) v = e!it eP )u0 +- t

To estimate the second term in the right-hand side of (2.2.3) we shall use Lemma 2.1.4with a = 'T , b = T , Y = Lr(Rn), p = 2, X = H!1/2(Rn). For this one first remarkthat if U = e!it eP then Theorem 2.1.2 shows that U is continuous from L2(Rn) toL2(['T, T ], H1/2

L2(Rn) is continuous and is given by U#f(x) =1 T0 e!is eP [f(s, ·)] ds. It follows that

Then, using again Theorem 2.1.1 and the above continuity of U# we get

since f(s, ·) has compact support in x and q > 2.Moreover since [$g, )] is first order we have, using again Theorem 2.1.2,
*f*L2([!T,T ],H"1/2(Rn)) " C *-u*L2([!T,T ],H1/2(Rn)) " C% *u0*L2(Rn)
where - $ C"0 (Rn), - = 1 on the support of ). This gives the estimate of the
second term in the right hand side of (2.2.3) which, together with (2.2.4) shows thatv satisfies the Strichartz estimate.

Theorem 2.2.1. — Let (q, r) be such q ! 2 and 2q = n

then there exists C > 0 such that
*e!itP v0*Lq([!T,T ],Lr(Rn)) " C *v0*L2(Rn)

Let us assume that we have proved this result. Then we can applied it to theoperator occurring in (2.2.5) with R large enough. We have,
w = e!itP (1 ' )R)u0 +- t
0e!i(t!s)P [fR(s, ·)] ds.
It follows from Theorem 2.2.1 that
(2.2.8) *e!itP (1 ' )R)u0*Lq([!T,T ],Lr(Rn)) " C *u0*L2(Rn)
and the same argument as used in the estimate of v, namely the use of Theorem2.2.1,and Lemma 2.1.4 shows that

Then using (2.2.8) we see that the second term w in the right hand side of (2.2.1)satisfies the Strichartz estimate which completes the proof of Theorem 2.1.5.
Our goal now is to prove Theorem 2.2.1. The first step is to make a careful studyof the flow.

and we denote by (x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %)) the solution of (3.1.2) whenever it exists (or(x(t), %(t)) for short if no confusion is possible).
Let us remark that when p(x, %) = |%|2 then
(3.1.3)7
x(t, x, %) = x + 2t%%(t, x, %) = %
In general case assuming ( so small that ( A0 " 110 we see that 9

so that

Using the first equation of (3.1.2) we see then, that the solution of (3.1.2) exists forall t in R and is a C" function with respect to (x, %). Moreover we have the followinglemma.

Using Euler’s identity we obtain

3.3. THE FORWARD FLOW FROM POINTS IN S+ AND BACKWARD FROM S" 19
Proof. — See Appendix, Paragraph A.2.
We introduce now the following definition which distinguish microlocally the pointsin the cotangent bundle.
Definition 3.2.2. — LetS+ =
:(x, %) $ T #Rn ! {0} : x · % ! ' 1
4 "x# |%|;
S! =:(x, %) $ T #Rn ! {0} : x · % " 1
4 "x# |%|;.
Then S+ (resp. S!) is called the set of outgoing points for t ! 0 (resp. t " 0).
Of course the constant 14 in the above definition is unimportant and could be
replaced by any fixed small constant. The reason for this definition is the following.If (x, %) $ S+ then, for t ! 0
1 + |x + 2t%|2 ! 12
("x#2 + t2 |%|2).
Since x + 2t% will be an approximation of x(t; x, %), then S+, will be the set of points(x, %) for which the projection of the bicharacteristic goes to +) when t . +) instaying away from the origin.
3.3. The forward flow from points in S+ and backward from S!
Our goal is to obtain for these points a nice global representation of the flowtogether with precise estimates of its derivatives with respect to x and %.
Proposition 3.3.1. — There exists (0 > 0 depending on the constants A0, A1 in(3.1.1) such that for ( in ]0, (0[ the solution of (3.1.2) with (x, %) in S+ (resp. S!)and 1

6x(t; x, %) = x + 2t %(t; x, %) + z(t; x, %)

Then I is an interval which is non empty by the local Cauchy-Lipschitz Theorem. LetT # = sup I. If T # = +) we are done. Otherwise let T < T #. Since 1

(1 ' ( A0)|%(t)|2 " p(x(t), %(t)) = p(x, %) " (1 + ( A0)|%|2.
Now, for t in [0, T ] we have
1 + |x(t)|2 = "x#2 + 4t2 |%|2 + 4t2 |1(t)|2 + |z(t)|2 + 4t x · %< => ?(1)

.
Since (x, %) $ S+ we have for t ! 0, (1) ! ' 12 ("x#2 + t2 |%|2). Now, by the definition
of I we have on [0, T ] if ( max(A0, A1) is small enough.

|(6)| " C5(n) t(( max(A0, A1))2 " 10!2 (1 + t2).
It follows that
"x(t)#2 ! 12("x#2 + t2) ' 4 · 10!2("x#2 + t2) ! 1

The same computation shows that "x(t)#2 " 40("x#2 + t2). It follows that on [0, T ]we have

3.4. PRECISIONS ON THE FLOW IN THE GENERAL CASE 21
(since we may assume that 1 + "0 < 32 and (
/6)1+!0 < 4). It follows from (3.3.5)
that
|zj(t)| " 132 (
(1 + t)1+!0max(A0, A1), |1j(t)| " 60 (
(1 + t)1+!0max(A0, A1).
Therefore we have on [0, T ]
|zj(t)| " 132"0
( max(A0, A1), |1j(t)| " 60"0
( max(A0, A1).
Since z(t) and 1(t) exist for all t ! 0 and are smooth we still have the above estimateson [0, T #]. By continuity it will exist 2 > 0 such that |zj(t)| " 2·102
!0( max(A0, A1)
and |1j(t)| " 2·102
!0( max(A0, A1) on [0, T # + 2]. This contradicts the maximality of
T # and proves that T # = +).
Now we estimate the derivatives of the flow with respect to (x, %).
Proposition 3.3.2. — With the notations of Proposition 3.3.1, for every integer kone can find a positive constant Mk such that for all (A, B) $ Nn ( Nn such that|A| + |B| " k, all t ! 0 (resp. t " 0) and (x, %) in S+ (resp. S!) we have,

Proof. — See Appendix A.3.
Corollary 3.3.3. — Keeping the notations of Proposition 3.3.1 we have, for allt ! 0 (resp. t " 0) and all (x, %) $ S+ (resp. S!)
$xj
$%k(t, x, %) = 2t &jk + O(("t#), $xj
$xk(t, x, %) = &jk + O(("t#)

$%k(t, x, %) = &jk + O((),
$%j
$xk(t, x, %) = O((), j, k = 1, . . . , n,
where &jk is the Kronecker symbol and O(() means “bounded by C ( where C is inde-pendent of (x, %)”. In particular we have
(3.3.6)$%j
$%k(t, x, %) ' i
$xj
$%k(t, x, %) = (1 ' 2it) &jk + O(("t#), j, k = 1, . . . , n .
3.4. Precisions on the flow in the general case
The results obtained above allow us to give a rough form of the flow through anypoint in T #Rn ! {0} for t $ R.
Proposition 3.4.1. — Let (x, %) $ T #Rn ! {0} with |%| " 2. Then,(i) the function s 0. "x(s, x, %)#!(1+!0) belongs to L1(R),
SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE FRANCE 2005
22 CHAPTER 3. STUDY OF THE FLOW
(ii) for t $ R we have,6
x(t, x, %) = x + 2t % + r(t, x, %),
%(t, x, %) = % + 1(t, x, %),
where |r(t, x, %)| " C ( "t#, |1(t, x, %)| " C ( with C independent of (x, %).
Before going into the proof let us note that in general we do not have good estimateson the derivatives of r with respect to (x, %) (in the spirit of those given in Proposition3.3.1 for instance). In particular we do not have a good control of (xj
(%k(t, x, %). This
occurs for instance for points (x, %) such that |x| is very large and the bicharacteristiccrosses back a neighborhood of the origin. That’s why we used the term rough forthis description.
Proof of Proposition 3.4.1. — If |x · %| " ' 14 "x# |%| then Proposition 3.3.1 gives the
claimed description of the flow for t ! 0 and t " 0. If x · % " ' 14 "x# |%| the same
Proposition applies for t " 0 so we are left with the case t ! 0. (The case x · % !' 1
4 "x# |%| is symmetric). It follows from Lemma 3.1.1 that, if ( A1 is small enough,we have limt$+" x(t) · %(t) = +). Since x · % " 0 one can find t# > 0 such thatx(t#, x, %) · %(t#, x, %) = 0. If we set x# = x(t#, x, %) %# = %(t#, x, %) then, according toDefinition 3.2.2, we have (x#, %#) $ S+ !S! so we can use Proposition 3.3.1 for t $ R.Now we have by the flow property for t ! 0,
x(t, x, %) = x(t ' t#, x#, %#).
Using Proposition 3.3.1 we deduce the following lower bound
(3.4.1) "x(t, x, %)# = "x(t ' t#, x#, %#)# ! 1/3"t ' t##.
This proves the part (i) in Proposition 3.4.1. To prove part (ii) we use the formulas(3.1.2) for the flow. Then we see that for t ! 0,
%*(t, x, %) = %* + 1*(t, x, %), 1*(t, x, %) = '(
- t
0
n#
jk=1
$bjk
$x*(x(s)) %j(s) %k(s) ds.
Then using (3.1.1), (3.4.1), (3.1.4) and the fact that |%| " 2 we see that |1*(t, x, %)| "C (, where C depends only on A1.
On the other hand we have
xj(t, x, %) = 2%j + 21j(t, x, %) + 2(n#
k=1
bjk(x(t, x, %)) %k(t, x, %).
Integrating between 0 and t and using the above estimates we obtain the claimeddescription of x(t, x, %).

3.5. THE FLOW FROM POINTS IN (S+ & S")c 23
3.5. The flow from points in (S+ ! S!)c
We study now, more carefully the flow from points (x, %) $ T #Rn ! {0}, such that,
(3.5.1) |x · %| > c0 "x# |%| and12
" |%| " 2.
Even if, as we said before, we do not have a nice representation of the flow for all t inR we shall see that such a representation is available for limited values of t.
Since the description is symmetric, we shall assume that
(3.5.2) x · % " 'c0 "x# |%|.
Then (x, %) $ S! and Proposition 3.3.1 give a good description of the flow for t " 0.
Definition 3.5.1. — Let (x, %) satisfying 3.5.2. We set
I+ =!
t ! 0 : x(t, x, %) · %(t, x, %) " 14"x(t, x, %)# |%(t, x, %)|
".
In other words I+ is the set of t ! 0 such that (x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %)) belongs to S!.
The main result of this Section is the following description of the flow on I+.
Proposition 3.5.2. — Let (x, %) satisfying 3.5.2. Then for t in I+ we have
x(t, x, %) = x + 2t% ' z('t, x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %)),
%(t, x, %) = % ' 1('t, x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %)),
where z and 1 have been defined in Proposition 3.3.1. Moreover for j, k = 1, . . . , n wehave,
$xj
$xk(t, x, %) = &jk + O((),
$xj
$%k(t, x, %) = 2t &jk + O(("t#)
$%j
$%k(t, x, %) = &jk + O(("t#), $%j
$xk(t, x, %) = O(()
where &jk is the Kronecker symbol and O(A) means “bounded by CA” with C inde-pendent of (x, %). In particular we have
$%j
$%k(t, x, %) ' i
$xj
$%k(t, x, %) = (1 ' 2it) &jk + O(("t#).
Proof. — As said before, for t $ I+ the point 0(t, x, %) = (x(t, x, %), %(t, x, %)) belongsto S!. Therefore we can apply Proposition 3.3.1 for ! " 0. We get
x(!, 0(t, x, %)) = x(t, x, %) + 2! %(!, 0(t, x, %)) + z(!, 0(t, x, %))
%(!, 0(t, x, %)) = %(t, x, %) + 1(!, 0(t, x, %)).
Taking ! = 't with t ! 0 we obtain
x = x(t, x, %) ' 2t% + z('t, 0(t, x, %)),
% = %(t, x, %) + 1('t, 0(t, x, %)) .
This proves the first part of Proposition 3.5.2. To prove the claim on the derivativeswe use Lemma 3.1.2 and Corollary 3.3.3.

THE PHASE EQUATION
The goal of this section is to solve approximatively the phase equation$)
$!+ p(x,
$)
$x) = 0, )(0, x, #) = )0(x, #),
(see Theorem 4.1.2). In the case of the flat Laplacian this problem can be solvedexactly and we have
)(!, x, #) =(x ' #x)#% + i
2 |x ' #x|2 + 12i |#%|2
1 + 2i!
In the general case the classical method using the symplectic geometry leads to amajor di"culty. Indeed the symbol p has C" coe"cients but since )0 has to be nonreal we must deal with a non real flow. Instead we use here a method introduced byHormander [H] called method of ”Lagrangian ideals” which keeps real the data of theflow. It is briefly described in the Introduction (section 1).
The main result of this section is Theorem 4.1.2 whose proof is fairly long andcould be skipped in a first lecture. One of the reasons for the length of the proof isthat we have to consider separately the cases of outgoing and incoming points andthen to match them. Moreover in the case of incoming points the flow behaves badlyfor large time which leads to serious di"culties.
4.1. Statement of the result
Let p(x, %) = |%|2 + ( q(x, %), q(x, %) =&n
j,k=1 bjk(x) %j %k where the coe"cients bjk
satisfy the condition (3.1.1).In this Section # = (#x, #%) will be a fixed point in T #Rn such that 1
2 " |#%| " 2.Let us recall that (x(t, #), %(t, #)) denotes the flow of p starting for t = 0 at thepoint #.
We introduce now several sets.
Definition 4.1.1. — Let & > 0, c0 > 0, c1 > 0 be small constants (chosen later on).
26 CHAPTER 4. THE PHASE EQUATION
(i) If |#x · #%| " c0 "#x# |#%| we set,

(4.1.3) %+ =:(!, x) $ R ( Rn : |x ' x(!, #)| " & "!#, x · #% " c1 "x# |#%|

Let us give some explanations on this Definition.Taking c0 and c1 small with respect to 1
4 we see from Definition 3.2.2 that the case(i) corresponds to points (#x, #%) which are outgoing for ! ! 0 and ! " 0. Then %+
is simply a conic neighborhood of the projection of the bicharacteristic. In the case(ii) the point (#x #%) is outgoing for ! ! 0 and %+ can be written as follows.
%+ =:(!, x) $ (0, +)) ( Rn : |x ' x(!, #)| " & "!#
;2:(!, x) $ ('), 0) ( Rn :
|x ' x(!, #)| " & "!# and x · #% ! 'c1 "x# |#%|;.
(4.1.4)
Indeed if |x ' x(!, #)| " & "!# and ! ! 0 we have by Proposition 3.4.1, x · #% =(x' x(!, #)) ·#% + #x ·#% + 2! |#%|2 +O(( "!#). Since |#%| ! 1
2 and we are in case (ii)we deduce that x · #% ! c0 "#x# |#%| + 1

In the case (iii) we have the same discussion changing ! ! 0 to ! " 0.The purpose of this Section is to prove the following result.
Theorem 4.1.2. — There exist & > 0, c0 > 0, c1 > 0 such that for any # $ T #Rn

4.2. THE PREPARATION THEOREM 27
The proof of this result is based on the theory of Lagrangian ideals of L. Hormander([H], vol 4, chap. XXV). It will require several steps. The first one is a slight extensionof Theorem 7.5.4 in [H], vol. 1 to the case of higher dimensions.
4.2. The preparation theorem
The aim of this Section is to prove the following result.
Lemma 4.2.1. — Let g $ S(Rn% ) and z $ Cn. Then there exist functions qj(%, z, g),
j = 1, . . . , n, r(z, g) which are C" with respect to % and z, which depend linearly ong such that
(4.2.1) g(%) =n#

Proof. — We proceed by induction on the dimension n. If n = 1 this follows fromTheorem 7.5.4 of [H]. Let n ! 2 and let us set %% = (%1, . . . , %n!1). For fixed %% $ Rn!1
we apply Theorem 7.5.4 of [H] to the function %n 0. g(%%, %n). We get
(4.2.3) g(%%, %n) = q(%n, zn, g(%%, ·))(%n + zn) + r(zn, g(%%, ·)).
Let us set Qn(%, zn, g) = q(%n, zn, g(%%, ·)) and 2r(zn, %%, g) = r(zn, g(%%, ·)). Since ris linear in g we have $"
%# 2r(zn, %%, g) = r(zn, $"%# g(%%, ·)) and the estimates (4.2.2) for
n = 1 show that %% 0. 2r(zn, %%, g) is in S(Rn!1). Therefore we can apply, by theinduction, the Lemma to the function %% 0. 2r(zn, %%, g) and to z% = (z1, . . . , zn!1). Weobtain the existence of qj , j = 1, . . . , n'1 and R satisfying the estimates (4.2.2) suchthat
2r(zn, %%, g) =n!1#
j=1
qj(%%, z%, 2r(zn, ·, g)(%j + zj) + R(z%, 2r(zn, ·, g)).
Using (4.2.3) we obtain therefore
g(%) = Qn(%, zn, g)(%n + zn) +n#
j=1
qj(%%, z%, 2r(zn, ·, g))(%j + zj) + R(z%, 2r(zn, ·, g)).
If we set
(4.2.4)
6Qj(%, z, g) = qj(%%, z%, 2r(zn, ·, g)), j = 1, . . . , n ' 1
r(z, g) = R(z%, 2r(zn, ·, g))
SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE FRANCE 2005
28 CHAPTER 4. THE PHASE EQUATION
we obtain (4.2.1) at the level n. Moreover Qj and r are linear in g since qj , R arelinear in 2r(zn, ·, g) and 2r is linear in g. Let us look to the estimate (4.2.2) for r. Wehave

The proof of the estimates for the q%js is the same.
Remark 4.2.2. — Let us set z = a + ib and let us write r(z, g) = r(a, b, g) andqj(%, z, g) = qj(%, a, b, g). If we take in (4.2.1) b = 0, % = 'a we obtain
(4.2.6) r(a, 0, g) = g('a).
If we di!erentiate (4.2.1) with respect to bk and then take z = a $ Rn, % = 'a, weget
(4.2.7)$r
$bk(a, 0, g) = 'i qk('a, a, 0, g), k = 1, . . . , n.
Finally if we di!erentiate (4.2.1) with respect to %* and then take z = a $ Rn, % = 'awe obtain
(4.2.8)$g
$%*('a) = q*('a, a, 0, ), / = 1, . . . , n.

" |#%| " 2, |#x · #%| " c0 "#x# |#%|;.
We shall use the following notations
(4.3.2)
62%+ = {(!, y) $ R ( Rn : |y| " & "!#}sgn ! = 1 (resp. ' 1) if ! > 0 (resp. ! < 0).
Let now *0 $ C"0 (Rn), *1 $ C"

*1(!) = 1 if |!| " 1, *1(!) = 0 if |!| ! 2 and 0 " *1 " 1.
Then we can state the following result.
Theorem 4.3.1. — There exist small positive constants µ0, & such that if we set for# $ S, ! $ R, y $ Rn, 2 $ Rn, j = 1, . . . , n,

30 CHAPTER 4. THE PHASE EQUATION
Let us make some comments about the above Theorem. First of all we have skippedfor convenience the dependence of gj with respect to (!, y, #) which are consideredhere as parameters. The main object to be considered is vj(!, x, %). Since x has to beclose to x(!, #) we have set x = y + x(!, #). For small |!| (*1 3 1) % has to be closeto %(!, #) that’s why we have set % = 2 + %(!, #). For large |!| we have *1 3 0. Inthis region for technical reasons we need to renormalize the variable 2 and to isolate
the first term of a. This is the reason for the expression2
"!# +12
sgn !
"!# y. Finally
the two regimes |!| small and |!| large have to be matched. This is the reason forintroducing *1.
Proof. — According to Definition 3.2.2 we have S , S+ ! S!. Moreover
(4.3.3) B(#, c0) := {2# $ T # Rn : |# ' 2#| " c0} , S+ ! S!.
We start with the following Lemma.
Lemma 4.3.2. — There exists a small positive constant µ0 such that for all (!, y)with ! $ R, |y| " µ0 "!# and all 2 in Rn such that |2| " 2 µ0 there exists a unique. = .(!, y, #, 2) in B(#, c0) such that

4.3. THE CASE OF OUTGOING POINTS 31
Proof. — The system (4.3.4) with . $ B(#, c0) , S+!S! is equivalent by Proposition3.3.1 to the following
(4.3.7)

*
.x + 2!%(!, .) + z(!, .) = y + #x + 2!%(!, #) + z(!, #)
.% + 1(!, .) = *1(!) 2 +1 ' *1(!)

sgn ! yA+ #% + 1(!, #).
Using again (4.3.4) the left hand side of the first line of (4.3.7) can be written
.x + 2! *1(!) 2 +2!
"!# (1 ' *1(!)) 2 +|!|"!# (1 ' *1(!)) y + 2!%(!, #) + z(!, .).
Finally (4.3.7) is equivalent to
(4.3.8)
'(((((()
((((((*
.x = #x +@1 ' |!|
"!# (1 ' *1(!))Ay ' 2!

Writing this system .x = #x(.) .% = #%(.) and setting #(.) = (#x(.), #%(.)) weare going to solve it using the fixed point theorem in B(#, c0).
(i) # maps B(#, c0) in itself.We have 0 < 1 ' |&|

(ii) Let ., .% be in B(#, c0). Then t . + (1 ' t).% $ B(#, c0) , S+ ! S! for all t in(0, 1). It follows that
|#(.) ' #(.%)| " |z(!, .) ' z(!, .%)| + |1(!, .) ' 1(!, .%)| " C ( |. ' .%|
by Proposition 3.3.2. Here C depends only on the constants A0, A1 in (3.1.1). Taking( so small that C ( < 1 we see that we can apply the fixed point theorem in B(#, c0).This proves the existence of . satisfying (4.3.4) and (4.3.5) by (4.3.8). Now (i) in(4.3.6) follows from (4.3.5) taking ( small enough since |Z(!, #)'Z(!, .)| " C ( |#'.|if Z = z or 1. The claim (ii) is obtained by di!erentiating the equations (4.3.5) withrespect to 2k and using Proposition 3.3.2. Then (iii) follows easily from (4.3.5) and(ii). Finally (iv) is obtained by an induction on |A| + |B|.
From now on we fix the constant µ0 occurring in Lemma 4.3.2.Now for j = 1, . . . , n let gj be the function introduced in the statement of Theorem

(4.3.10) r(a, b, gj(·)) = 0, j = 1, . . . , n.
Let us now take (!, y) $ 2%+, that is ! $ R, |y| " & "!# where 0 < & < 12 µ0 is to be

Finally using (4.3.17), (4.3.18), (4.3.20) and the fact that in E we have |b| " 2 |y|'&( " 2&
we see easily that(3) " C (( + &)(|a1 ' a2| + |b1 ' b2|).

Therefore we can apply the fixed point theorem to solve (4.3.19) which is equivalentto (4.3.10). This proves the claims (i) and (ii) in Theorem 4.3.1.
Let us now prove the point (iii). We state a Lemma.

Proof. — We shall use an induction on |A|, starting with the formulas (4.3.19). Butbefore we need some intermediate results. We introduce the following space of func-tions.
Let f = f(!, y, #) be a function from 2%+ ( R2n to C. We shall say that f $ G± ifwe can write

We use now the Faa di Bruno formula (see Appendix A.1). Let Z be z or 1 then

The term (1) can be bounded by C0 ( |$Ay f(y)| (where C0 depends on A0, A1 in

On the other hand in the term (2) it is easy to see that |/j | " |A| ' 1. Indeed if wehad a j0 such that |/j0 | = |A| it would follow from (4.3.31) that j0 = 1, s = 1 and|k1| = 1 ; but then |k1| = 1 = |'| which is in contradiction with |'| ! 2. Therefore wecan use (4.3.27), (4.3.31) to write,

Then (4.3.29) follows from (4.3.30) and (4.3.32).

The proof is exactly the same as in the Claim 2. We use the Faa di Bruno formula,the estimates on a, b given by the induction, the estimate (4.3.16) to obtain (4.3.33).We are ready now to prove the part b) of Lemma 4.3.3 when |A| = N + 1.
We use the equations (4.3.19), (4.3.20) which we di!erentiate |A| times with respectto y. Since Zj

term Hj* b ·b is handled by (4.3.33), the Leibniz formula and the induction hypothesis.

So let us set in the statement of Theorem 4.3.1 22 = k(!) 2+ 12 (1'*1(!)) (sgn !) y ; then
we obtain the decomposition of 2gj in Corollary 4.3.5 with 2a* = k(!) a*, 2b* = k(!) b*
and the estimates on 2q*, 2a*, 2b* follow easily from the correspondent one for q*, a*, b*
stated in Theorem 4.3.1.
Lagrangian ideals and the phase equation. — We pursue here the proof of Theorem4.1.2. Let us set
(4.3.36) O =!(!, y, 2) $ R(Rn(Rn : |y| < & "!#,

We introduce now a space of families (f(·, #))"+S of functions on O.
Definition 4.3.6. — We say that (f(·, #))"+S belongs to H if(i) For all # in S, (!, y, 2) 0. f(!, y, 2, #) belongs to C"(O).(ii) For every A, B in Nn there exists CAB > 0 independent of # such that
sup(&,y,-)+O
|$Ay $B
- f(!, y, 2, #)| " CAB, for all # $ S.
Remark 4.3.71) H is closed under multiplication and derivation with respect to (y, 2).2) If we set, with notation (4.2.10)
f(!, y, 2, #) = vj(!, y + x(!, #),2
"!# + %(!, #), #)
then (f(·, #))"+S belongs to H. This follows from (4.3.6).
Definition 4.3.8. — Let F = (F (·, #))"+S . We say that F $ J if we can write
F (!, y, 2, #) =n#

F (!, y, 2, #) = 2k ' 12
(1 ' *1(!) (sgn !) yk + (2ak + i2bk)(!, y, #), k $ {1, 2, . . . , n}.
Then F $ J .
This follows from Corollary 4.3.5. Indeed the matrix (2q*(2,2a,2b, 2gj))j,* is invertibleif ( + & is small enough and according to the estimate (v) if we set (d*j) = (2q(· · · ))!1
then (djk(·, #))"+S belongs to H so our claim follows from Remark 4.3.7.Now if F = (F (·, #))"+S , G = (G(·, #))"+S we set

4.3. THE CASE OF OUTGOING POINTS 43
Lemma 4.3.10. — J is closed under the Poisson bracket (4.3.37).
Proof. — Recall (see (4.2.10)) that vj(!, x, %, #) = uj 4 *!&(x, %) where uj(x, %, #) =%j ' #j
% ' i(xj ' #jx) and *!&(x, %) = (x('!; x, %), %('!; x, %)) is the symplectic map
defined by the flow. Since {uj, uk} = 0 we have, denoting by { , } the Poisson bracketin (x, %), {vj , vk} = {uj 4 *!&, uk 4 *!&} = {uj, uk} 4 *!& = 0. It follows that, in thecoordinates (y, 2),
!vj(!; y + x(!; #),

Since fj , gk, vj belong to H it follows from Remark 4.3.7 (i) and Definition 4.3.8 that{F, G} $ J .
Here is an important lemma which is a generalization to our context of Lemma7.5.10 of [H].
According to Corollary 4.3.5, we shall set(4.3.38)
-k(!, y, #) =12
(1 ' *1(!)) (sgn !) yk ' (2ak(!; y, #) + i2bk(!; y, #)), k = 1, . . . , n.
Lemma 4.3.11. — Let R = (R(·, #))"+S $ J where R(!, y, #) is independent of 2.Then for every N $ N one can find CN > 0 such that for every (!, y) in 2%+ (see(4.3.2)) and # in S we have
|R(!, y, #)| " CN | Im -(!, y, #)|N .
Proof. — We are going to show by induction on N $ N# that we can write for (!, y, #)in 2%+ ( S,

where
rk(!, y, 2, #) =n#

fj(!, y, 2, #) 2qk(2,2a,2b, 2gj).
Now it follows from Corollary 4.3.5 and Remark 4.3.7 that (rk(·, #))"+S belongs toH. Therefore (4.3.39) holds when N = 1. Assume now that (4.3.39) is true at thelevel N . Then apply Lemma 4.2.1 to the function

(4.3.40) g,(!, y, 2, #) =n#
k=1
qk(2, a, b, g,)(2k ' -k(!, y, #)) + r(a, b, g,).
For the q%ks and r we have the estimates (4.2.2). If we set
(4.3.41)
6h,(!, y, #) = r(a(!, y #), b(!, y, #), g,(!, y, ·, #))
w,j(!, y, 2, #) = qj(2, a(!, y, #), b(!, y, #), g,(!, y, ·, #)).
We deduce from (4.2.2) and Corollary 4.3.5 that (h,(·, #))"+S and (w,j(·, #))"+Sbelong to H. Then using (4.3.39) at the level N and (4.3.40), (4.3.41) we obtain(4.3.39) at the level N+1. Let us take now in (4.3.39) 2 = Re -(!, y, #)+s Im -(!, y, #)where s $ [0, 1]. We obtain(4.3.42)

$yj
,(!, y, #) = {2j ' -j , 2k ' -k}(!, y, #)
defines an element of J . Since Rjk does not depend on 2 we can apply Lemma 4.3.11and the conclusion follows.
So far we have worked in the coordinates (y, 2). Let us go back to the originalcoordinates (x, %) and let us summarize the results already obtained.
We set x = y + x(!, #), % = -'&( + %(!, #). Then (!, x) $ %+ (see (4.3.1)). Let us
recall that,
vj(!, x, %, #) = %j('!, x, %) ' #j% ' i(xj('!, x, %) ' #j

It follows then that the matrix (cjk) is uniformly invertible. Let us set (djk(!, x, %)) =

Recall that (fjk) = ((qk(2 ' 12 sgn !(1 ' *1(!)) y,2a,2b, gj))!1). Using (4.3.5) we see
that ()(& $ H. Then di!erentiating (4.3.19) with respect to ! we see that ("

remains to prove that the functions h(!, y, 2, #) = (p(%$

Denoting by gij the coe"cients of p we can write

To see that this belongs to J(x,%) we use (4.3.45). In the coordinates (y, 2) we have
"!# (a) = '$gij
$xk(y + x(!, #))

then (i) will follow according to (4.3.48). By (4.3.43), Corollary 4.3.5 and Theorem4.3.1 we have
#j(0, x, #) = #j% ' (2aj + i 2bj)(0, x ' #x, #) = #j

Now Example 4.3.9 (for ! = 0) shows that 2j + aj(0, y, #) + i bj(0, y, #) belongs tothe ideal J introduced in Definition 4.3.8. On the other hand, since by (4.2.10) for! = 0 gj(2) = *0( 1
µ02)(2j ' i yj) it follows that 2j ' i yj belongs also to J . Thus the
di!erence aj(0, y, #) + i bj(0, y, #) + i yj belongs also to J and does not depend on 2.It follows from Lemma 4.3.11 that for all N $ N,
aj(0, y, #) = O(| Im -(0, y, #)|N )
bj(0, y, #) + yj = O(| Im -(0, y, #)|N ).

58 CHAPTER 4. THE PHASE EQUATION
Then the system (4.4.3) to be solved is equivalent in E to the equation
(#1(a, b), #2(a, b)) = (a, b).
Let us set #(a, b) = (#1(a, b), #2(a, b)). We shall use the fixed point theorem in E(see (4.4.4)).
(i) #(E) , E.Let us recall that (y + x(!; #)) · #% " c0 "y + x(!; #)# |#% |.
Case 1. — Assume that
(4.4.13) x(!; #) · #% ! 2 c0 "x(!; #)# |#% |.
It follows that
(4.4.14) |y| ! c0
2"x(!; #)# ! c0

Indeed one can write
2 c0 "x(!; #)# |#% | " (x(!; #) + y) · #% ' y · #%
" c0 "y + x(!; #)#|#% | + |y| · |#%|" c0 "x(!; #)# |#% | + c0 |y| · |#%| + |y| · |#%|.
Therefore c0 "x(!; #)# " 2 |y|. Here we have used the inequality "a + b# " "a# + |b|.Let !# ! 0 be such that x(!#; #) · #% = 0 (this is possible since #x · #% " 0 and
x(!; #) · #% ! #x · #% + ! |#%|2 . +) if ! . +)). Then the point (x(!#; #), #%) isoutgoing for ! ! 0 and ! " 0.
We can write by Proposition 3.3.1,
x(!; #) = x(! ' !#; x(!#; #), %(!#; #))
= x(!#; #) + 2(! ' !#) %(! ' !#; x(!#; #), %(!#; #)) + z(! ' !#, · · · )= x(!#; #) + 2(! ' !#) %(!; #) + z(! ' !#; x(!#; #), %(!#; #)).
It follows that
x(!; #) · #% = 2(! ' !#) |#%|2 + O(() |! ' !#| + z(! ' !#; x(!#, #), %(!#; #)) · #%.
Since |z(! ' !#, · · · )| " C ( |! ' !#| we deduce the estimate,
2 |! ' !#| |#%|2 " |x(!, #)| · |#%| + C% ( |! ' !#|.
Therefore if ( is small enough we obtain
(4.4.15) |! ' !#| " 5 |x(!, #)|.
Now let us introduce
(4.4.16) u(!) = x(!; #) ' #x ' 2! #%.
We claim that
(4.4.17) |u(!)| " C ( "! ' !##.
MEMOIRES DE LA SMF 101/102
4.4. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 59
Indeed we have u(0) = 0 and for all ! in R,
u(!) = x(!; #) ' 2 #% = 2(%(!; #) ' #%) + 2( b(x(!; #)) · %(!; #).
It follows from Proposition 3.4.1 that
|u(!)| " C (.
Now since x(!#; #) · #% = 0 it follows from Proposition 3.5.2 that
x(!#; #) = #x + 2!# #% ' z('!#; x(!#; #), %(!#; #)).
This implies that |u(!#)| " C1 (. Now we write
|u(!) ' u(!#)| "555- &
&$|u(s)| ds
555 " C2 ( |! ' !#|
and|u(!)| " C1 ( + C2 ( |! ' !#| " C3 ( "! ' !##.
It follows then from (4.4.14) to (4.4.17) that,
|x(!; #) ' #x ' 2! #%| " C3 ( "! ' !## " 5 C3 ( "x(!; #)#

Since the point (y +x(!; #), #%) is outgoing we can use Proposition 3.3.2, (4.4.11) andthe fact that |b| " 2 |y|

The same estimates as those used in the first case show that

Thus (4.4.20) is proved if ((+&) is small enough. Then the fixed point theorem showsthat the system (4.4.3) has a unique solution in E.
Case 2. — Assume that

These estimates imply (4.4.23) since in this case |y| = inf(1, |y|). Summing up wehave proved that # maps E into itself.
We show now the estimate (4.4.22). But it is easy to see that the proof givenin Case 1 works also in Case 2. Using again the fixed point theorem we see thatthe system (4.4.3) has a unique solution in E. This proves the points (i) and (ii) ofTheorem 4.4.2.

4.4. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 65
Let us assume that (iii) is true for 1 " |A| " k and let |A| = k + 1 ! 2.We claim that for F $ F* and |B| " k we have

Indeed the term we want to estimate is a finite sum of terms of the following form(see Section A.1).
(4.4.32) R), s = ($)x $,

I1 = {j : |/j | = 1}, |I2| = {j : |/j | ! 2}.
For j $ I1 we have $*jy gk = O(1), $
*jy hk = '$
*jy 2a + O
$1'&(%. For j $ I2 we have
$*jy gk 3 0. Therefore the only terms which are present are those for which k%
j = 0. Itfollows that
&sj=1 k%
j =&

j = .. Moreover $*jy h = '$

The result follows then, since&s

Let us now prove the last step of the induction. We apply $Ay to both members of
(4.4.25), (4.4.26). Then we estimate each term of the right hand side using (4.4.31),(4.4.33). We obtain

If ( + & is small enough (compared with a finite number of fixed constants) we canabsorb the term C0(( + &)(|$A
y 2a| + |$Ay2b|) by the left hand side and we obtain the
estimate given in (iii).Let us now prove (iv). First of all since the point (y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #)) belongs
to S! and '! " 0 we deduce from Proposition 3.3.2 that
|$,% %('!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #))| + |$,
% x('!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #)| " C, "!#.
It follows then, from (4.4.2) and Lemma 4.2.1 that555$qk

Therefore we will have,
|qk(2, a, b, gj) ' qk('a, a, 0, gj)| " C "!# (|2 + a| + |b|).
Now if |2| "/

By Corollary 3.3.3 we have
qk('a, a, 0, gj) = (1 + 2i!) &jk + O(( "!#).
Finally we obtain,
|qk(2, a, b, gj) ' (1 + 2i!) &jk| " C (( +/
&) "!#,
which is precisely the claim of point (iv).The last point (v) can be easily deduced from Proposition 3.3.2 and Lemma 4.2.1.
This ends the proof of Theorem 4.4.2.
MEMOIRES DE LA SMF 101/102
4.4. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 67
We continue the proof of Theorem 4.1.2 in the case (4.4.1). We follow basically thesame method as in Section 4.3 with small changes. For the convenience of the readerwe give some details.
Let us set,
(4.4.34)
'()
(*
O =:(!, (y, 2)) $ R+ ( R2n :
|y| < &"!#, (y + x(!, #)) · #% " c1 "y + x(! #)#|#% |; |2| "/
&;
2' =:# $ T #Rn : 1
2 " |#%| " 2, #x · #% " 'c0 "#x#|#%|} .
We consider families (f(·, #))"+e# of function on O.
Definition 4.4.3. — We say that (f(·, #))"+e# belongs to H if
(i) for all # $ 2', (!, y, 2) 0. f(!, y, 2, #) is C" on O.(ii) For every A, B in Nn there exists CAB > 0 such that
sup(&,y,")+O*e#
|$Ay $B
- f(!, y, 2, #)| " CAB.
Remark 4.4.41) H is closed under multiplication and derivation with respect to (y, 2).2) If we set, with the notation (4.2.10),
f(!, y, 2, #) =1"!# vj(!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #))
=1"!#@%j('!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #)) ' #j
%
' i(x('!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #)) ' #jx)A
then (f(·, #))"+e# $ H. This is a consequence of Proposition 3.3.2.
Definition 4.4.5 (Lagrangian ideals). — The Lagrangian ideal J is defined as theset of families F = (F (·, #))"+e# which can be written as
F (!, y, 2, #) =n#
j=1
fj(!, y, 2, #)1"!# vj(!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #))
for all (!, y, 2) in O and # in 2', where (f(·, #))"+e# $ H.
Example 4.4.6. — Let us set
F (!, y, 2, #) = 2k ' -k(!, y, #)
with
(4.4.35) -k(!, y, #) = '(ak + i bk)(!, y, #),
where ak, bk are those given in Theorem 4.4.2. Then (F ((·, #))"+# $ J .
SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE FRANCE 2005
68 CHAPTER 4. THE PHASE EQUATION
Indeed if |2| "/
& < 12 c0 then *0(2) = 1 so it follows from (4.4.2) and Theorem
4.4.2 that we have
vj(!, y + x(!, #), %(!, #) + 2) =n#
k=1
qk(2, a, b, gj)(2k ' -k(!, y, #)).
Since qk(2, a, b, gj) = (1+2i!) &jk +O(((+/
&)"!#) (by (v)) it follows that the matrix(qk(2, a, b, gj))!1 = (djk(!, y, 2, #))1!j,k!n exists. Moreover ("!# djk(·, #))"+e# $ H.Now we have
2k ' -k(!, y, #) =n#
j=1
"!# djk(!, y, #) · 1"!# vj(!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #)).
This proves our claim.
Lemma 4.4.7. — For F and G in J let us define
{F, G}(!, y, 2, #) =n#
j=1
+ $F
$2j
$G
$yj' $F
$yj
$G
$2j
,(!, y, 2, #).
Then {F, G} $ J .
Proof. — Since vj(!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #) = uj 4 *!&(y, 2) where uj(x, %, #) = %j '#j
%'i(xj '#jx) and *!&(y, 2) = (x('!, y, 2), %('!, y, !)) is the symplectic map defined
by the flow we have
{vj, vk}(!, y, 2, #) = {uj, uk}(*!&(y, 2)) = 0
because {uj, uk} 3 0.Let F =
&fj
1'&( vj , G =
&gk
1'&( vk be two elements of J with fj $ H, gk $ H.
Then a straightforward computation and the Remark 4.4.4 give the conclusion (seethe proof of Lemma 4.3.10).
Lemma 4.4.8. — Let R = (R(·, #))"+e# $ J and assume that R(·, #) does not dependon 2. Then for every N $ N one can find CN > 0 such that for every (!, y) in 2%+
and # in 2' we have|R(!, y, #)| " CN | Im -(!, y, #)|N .
Proof. — We are going to show by induction on N ! 1 that we can write
(4.4.36) R(!, y, #) =#
0<|,|<N
h,(!, y, #)(2 ' -), +#
|,|=N
g,(!, y, #, 2)(2 ' -),
where (h,(·, #))"+e# and (g,(·, #))"+e#) belong to H.For N = 1 the first sum in the right hand side of (4.4.36) is empty and by assump-
tion we have
R(!, y, #) =n#
j=1
fj(!, y, 2, #)1"!# vj(!, y + x(!, #), 2 + %(!, #)).
MEMOIRES DE LA SMF 101/102
4.4. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 69
Using Theorem 4.4.2 we obtain since *0(2) = 1 when |2| "/

R(!, y, #) =n#
k=1
+ n#
j=1
1"!# fj(!, y, 2, #) qk(2, a, b, gj)
,(2k ' -k(!, y, #)).
Since fj and 1'&( qk belong to H this shows that (4.4.36) is true when N = 1. Assume
now it is true up to the order N . We can apply Lemma 4.2.1 to the function
2g,(!, y, 2, #) = *0(2) g,(!, y, 2, #), |3| = N
with zj = '-j(!, y, #). It follows that
(4.4.37) 2g,(!, y, 2, #) =n#
k=1
qk(2, a, b, 2g,)(2k ' -k(!, y, #)) + r(a, b, 2g,).
For the q%ks and r we have the estimates (4.2.2). Let us set
(4.4.38)
6h,(!, y, #) = r(a(!, y, #), b(!, y, #), 2g,(h, y, ·, #))
g,(!, y, 2, #) = qk(2, a(!, y, #), b(!, y, #), 2g,(!, y, ·, #)).
It follows from (4.2.2) and Theorem 4.4.2 that (h,(·, #))" and (g, k(·, #))" belong toH. Using (4.4.36) at the level N and (4.4.37), (4.4.38) we deduce that (4.4.36) holdsat the level N + 1.
Now let us take in (4.4.36) 2 = (Re - + s Im -)(!, y, #) when s $ [0, 1]. Then thesame argument as in the end of the proof of Lemma 4.3.11 gives the result.
Corollary 4.4.9. — For every N $ N there exists a constant CN > 0 such that555+$-j

Proof. — Identical to the proof of Corollary 4.3.12.
Now we go back to the original coordinates
x = y + x(!, #), % = 2 + %(!, #)
and we set for k = 1, . . . , n,
(4.4.39) #k(!, x, #) = -k(!, x ' x(!, #), #) = %k(!, #) ' (ak + i bk)(!, x ' x(!, #), #)

by (4.4.4). Then (iv) follows from Theorem 4.4.2 (ii) as well as (v). The point (vi) isobvious since ak = bk = 0 when y = 0. To prove (vii) we use Corollary 4.4.9, (4.4.35),(4.4.39) and (iv) of Theorem 4.4.10. We obtain

Then exactly as in Lemma 4.4.7 J(x,%) is closed under the Poisson bracket in (x, %)and we have the analogue of Lemma 4.4.8. In fact J(x,%) is just the image of J underthe di!eomorphism x = y + x(!, #), % = 2 + %(!, #). Then we have

4.4. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 71
Proof. — We follow word by word the proof of Lemma 4.3.16 and Corollary 4.3.17.Let us just sketch the proof.
We begin by the proof of the theorem when #(!, x, #) is replaced by %. By Theorem4.4.10 (i) we have
%k ' #k(!, x, #) =#
ejk (!, x, %, #) vj(!, x, %).
Then we set x('!, x, %) = X , %('!, x, %) = & that is x(!, X, &) = x, %(!, X, &) = %.The above identity reads
%k(!, X, &) ' #k(!, x(!, X, &), #) =n#
k=1
ejk(!, x(!, X, &), %(!, X, &), #)uj(X, &).
We di!erentiate this equality with respect to ! using the equations of the flow given by(3.1.2). Then we use Theorem 4.4.10 (ii) and we come back to the original coordinates(x, %). Finally we write % = % ' #(!, x, #) + #(!, x, #) as in the proof of Corollary4.3.17. Details are left to the reader.
Corollary 4.4.13. — For every N $ N one can find CN > 0 such that555'

Proof. — Use Theorem 4.4.12 and Lemma 4.4.8 in the coordinates (x, %).
We are ready now to define the phase ), as we did in Proposition 4.3.19 for theoutgoing points, but we find here a slight problem. Indeed if we look to formula(4.3.48) we see that ) is defined by mean of #(!, s x + (1 ' s)x(!, #)), s $ [0, 1].In the present case when ! ! 0, #(!, z, #) is defined for z · #% " c0 "z# |#%| and|z ' x(!, #)| " & "!# and it is easily seen that the point z = s x + (1 ' s)x(!, #)does not satisfy these conditions. Therefore we have to modify the expression of ) in(4.3.48) to take care of this problem. We split the discussion into several cases givingin each of them a di!erent expression of ). Our purpose is to prove the followingresult.
Let us set,

Lemma 4.4.15. — In the case 1 we have s x+(1' s)x(!, #) $ %+, for s $ [0, 1], thatis

Proof. — Since |a ' b|2 " |a|2 + 1 we have 2a · b ! '1, it follows that
|(1 ' s) a + s b|2 = (1 ' s)2 |a|2 + 2s(1 ' s) a · b + s2 |b|2 ! (1 ' s)2 |a|2

((1 ' s) |a| + s |b|))2 ' 12.
Therefore "(1 ' s) a + s b#2 ! 12 ((1 ' s)|a| + s|b|)2.
Let us now apply Lemma 4.4.16 to a = x(!, #), b = x. Using our hypotheses weobtain

By (4.4.42) we have |x| " 2& "!# " 2& "!#|A| since |A| ! 1 and setting t = |x| s inthe integral above we see that (2) is uniformly bounded in (!, x, #). This shows (v).Finally by (4.4.43),

Using Theorem 4.4.10, (iv) and (4.4.42) we obtain (vi). This completes the proof ofProposition 4.4.14 in the case 2.
Case 3. — We consider here the case where
(4.4.48) (!, x) $ O+ and x(!, #) · #% >c0

(See Figure 2).Let us recall that we are dealing in this Section 4.4 with the case where
#x · #% " 'c0 "#x# |#%|, (see (4.4.1)).(1) The continuous function t 0. x(t, #) · #% is then strictly negative for t = 0 and
strictly positive for t = !. It follows that
(4.4.49) there exists !# $ ]0, ![ depending only on # such that x(!#, #) · #% = 0.
Then we have the following Lemma.

x(!, #) = x(! ' !#, 0#) = x(!#, #) + 2(! ' !#)#% + O(( |! ' !#|) + O(().
It follows that
(4.4.50) x(!, #) ' x(!#, #) = 2(! ' !#)#% + O(( |! ' !#|) + O(().

2(! ' !#) |#%|2 ! c0

Taking ( small compared to c0 and C1 we obtain (ii). Then (i) follows easily from(4.4.50) if ( 7 c0. Now the first inequality in (iii) being obvious, let us prove thesecond one. We write
(4.4.51)
'()

|x ' x(!, #)|2 = (1) + (2)
(1) = |x ' x(!#, #)|2 + |x(!#, #) ' x(!, #)|2
(2) = 2(x ' x(!#, #))(x(!#, #) ' x(!, #)).
If we use (4.4.50), (i) and (ii) we obtain,
(2) = '4(! ' !#)(x ' x(!#, #)) · #% + O(((1)),
so by (4.4.49),(2) = '4(! ' !#)x · #% + O(( (1)).
Now since (!, x) belongs to O+ (see (4.4.40)) we have

4.4. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 79
If c0 and ( are small enough we find (1) + (2) ! 16 (1) so (iii) is proved using (4.4.51).
Finally (iv) follows from (i) and (iii) taking & small enough.
Then we split the case 3 in two subcases.
Case 3.1. — (!, x) $ O+, x(!, #)·#% > c03 "x(!, #)# |#% | and |x'x(!#, #)| " "x(!#, #)#.
It follows then that
(4.4.52) s x + (1 ' s)x(!#, #) $ %+ for all s $ [0, 1].
Indeed, using Lemma 4.4.16 with a = x(!#, #), b = x we obtain
s |x| "/
2 "s x + (1 ' s)x(!#, #)#
so if (!, x) $ O+ we get
(s x + (1 ' s)x(!#, #)) · #% = s x · #% " c0
10s "x# |#%| " c0 "s x + (1 ' s)x(!#, #)# |#%|.
Moreover by Lemma 4.4.17,
|s x + (1 ' s)x(!#, #) ' x(!, #)| " s |x ' x(!, #)| + (1 ' s) |x(!#, #) ' x(!, #)|" s |x ' x(!, #)| + (1 ' s) 5 |x ' x(!, #)|" 5 |x ' x((!, #)| " & "!#
since in O+, |x ' x(!, #)| " +10 "!#.
Therefore we can define ) on this part of O+ by the following formula.

Our goal now is to show that ) satisfies the claims (i) to (vi) of Proposition 4.4.14.The point ! = 0 does not belong, by (4.4.48), to this part of O+. Thus the claim
(i) is empty. Let us check (ii). We have

On the other hand if y belongs to the union of the two segments [0, x] and [0, x(!#, #)]then (y, !) belongs to %+, the set (defined in (4.1.4)) on which # is defined. Indeed,by (4.4.40), if s $ (0, 1) then s x · #% " s · c0

So using (4.4.65) to (4.4.67) we derive the point (iii). The last non trivial point to beproved is the point (vi).
Using the expression of Im # given by Theorem 4.4.10, (4.4.62) and (4.4.59) to(4.4.61) which are valid also in the Case 3.2, we can write

Aand let us consider the function on [0, +)[(I,

(i) For all c in I the function [0, +)[(R, s 0. g(s, c) is strictly increasing.(ii) For all c in I there exists a unique !(c) > 0 such that
g(!(c), c) = 0.
(iii) The function I . [0, +)[, c 0. !(c) is strictly increasing.Moreover we have the following estimates

Proof(i) We have
$g
$s(s, c) = x(s, #) · #% ' c

Thus (g(s (s, c) ! 1

$g
$c(!(c), c) = 0.
By the above computation of (g(s we can write
!%(c) ="x(!(c), #)# |#% |

which proves (iii). Now we have
x(!(c), #) ' x(!#, #) =- &(c)
&$x(s, #) ds = 2#%(!(c) ' !#) + O((|!(c) ' !#|)
from which (iv) follows easily. Let us prove (v). By definition of !(c) and !# we canwrite

so by (iv),c0

The first inequality in (vi) being trivial let us prove the second one. We write
|x ' x(!, #)|2 = |x ' x(!#, #)|2 + |x(!#, #) ' x(!(c), #)|2< => ?(1)

We have(2) = 2(x ' x(!#, #))[2(!# ' !(c))#% + O(( |!# ' !(c)|].
It follows from (iv) that
(2) = '4(!(c) ' !#)x · #% + O(((1)), where !(c) ' !# ! 0.
Now in O+ we have x · #% " c010 "x# |#%|. It follows that

if c0 is small enough. This implies (vi). Let us prove (vii). We have
x(!(c), #) = x(!#, #) + 2(!(c) ' !#) · #% + O(().
It follows that

We are going first to match )1 and )2, )4 and )5. The matched phase will be definedon a smallest set than O+ defined in (4.4.40) namely for (!, x) where x $ 2O+(!) (see(4.4.69)). We show first that the point (!, 0) belongs to the sets where )1 and )2

(4.4.70) )1(!, 0, #) = )2(!, 0, #).
By the same way we may assume that the domain where )5 is defined containspoints (!, x) where x $ 2O+(!). So let x be such that |x ' x(!, #)| " +

So the point (!, 0) belongs also to the sets where )4 and )5 are defined and by (4.4.53),(4.4.63) we have

Let us match )1 and )2. Let x $ 2O+, ! $ [0, !] be such that

the function ) defined in (4.4.107) satisfies all the requirements of Proposition 4.4.14.The proof of Proposition 4.4.14 will be therefore complete when we will construct
the path 3(", x) satisfying (4.4.74) to (4.4.79).
Construction of 3(", x). — Let us set a = x(!, #). We first show that we can joinany point x to a point a ' |x ' a|#% by path remaining in the set

|"!| = ('1, 0, . . . , 0),a = (a1, a2, 0, . . . , 0), x = (x1, x2, x3, 0, . . . , 0). Therefore it will be su"cient to restrictourselves to the dimension three. We will construct our path on planes so we beginby the dimension two. Let us set with D $ ]0, 1[, k > 0,

Proof(i) Let b = (b1, b2) and h(t) = b1 + t + D

h(0) = b1 + DN
k2 + b22 ! 0 and h%(t) = 1 +

Since D |y| < 1 we have D |b2 + t y| |y|PO
k2 + (b2 + t y)2 < 1. It follows that h%(t) > 0so h(t) > h(0) ! 0.
The proof of (ii) is the same.

Now to join 0 to x we join 0 to z1 = (a1+|a|, a2, 0) then x to z2 = (a1+|x'a|, a2, 0)and since the segment [z1, z2] is included in D by Lemma 4.4.21 (i), the path joins0 to x and its length is smaller than C(|x ' a| + |a|).

To handle this term we shall make use of the Faa di Bruno formula given in Ap-pendix A.1, with F = Z, Y = (!, y, 2, #), U1(Y ) = '!, U1+j(Y ) = yj + xj(!, #),U1+n+j(Y ) = 2j + %j(!, #), j = 1, . . . , n. Since Z $ E we find easily, using (4.5.3) that(1) " C ( |!|1!* which proves our claim.
Another property of gj which will be used in the sequel is the following.
(4.5.6) For ! = 0, gj(2) = *0(2)(2j ' i yj) is independent of #.
Now according to our procedure we have solved the equations (see (4.3.14)),

(4.5.8).According to (4.5.6), (4.4.2), Theorem 4.4.2 and Theorem 4.3.1 for ! = 0 aj and
bj do not depend on # and moreover we have,

To prove the first estimate we di!erentiate both sides of (4.5.9) with respect to !.Since the terms in Z belong to E and using (4.5.8), the fact that x(!, #), %(!, #) arebounded, we obtain

Let us set Y = (!, y, #), ' = (/, 3, A) and let us apply the operator $#Y to both
sides of (4.5.9). We have

We are ready now to show that the remainder R satisfies the estimates given inTheorem 4.5.1.

5.1. Statement of the result and preliminaries
Let P =&n
j,k=1 gjk(x)Dj Dk be a second order di!erential operator of the form(2.2.7) We shall denote by tP the transposed operator.
In Chapter 4 we have constructed a phase function for P . The purpose now is toconstruct an amplitude.
Recall that the set %+ have been introduced in Definition 4.1.1.The main result of this Section is the following.
Theorem 5.1.1. — For every # $ T #Rn with 12 " |#%| " 2, every N $ N and every

108 CHAPTER 5. THE TRANSPORT EQUATIONS
In flat case RN and R%N are bounded by CN+!N , but no explicit formula for eN is
available.
Proof. — We have just to set aN(!, x, #, +) = "!#!n/2 eN (!, x ' x(!, #), #, +) whereeN has been defined in Theorem 5.1.1.
Proof of Theorem 5.1.1. — We have tP =&n

Then it follows from (5.2.20), (5.2.19) that eN0 satisfies the conditions (i), (ii), (iii) inTheorem 5.1.1.
So we are left with the proof of Lemma 5.2.2.
Proof of Lemma 5.2.2. — We are going to straighten the principal part of the oper-ator L given by (5.2.16). Recall that we have L = L0 + dN0(!, z, #) with

In that follows all the objects will depend on # $ 2S± but all the estimates will beuniform with respect to #.
Let us set

If !0 $ R± we shall denote by Y (!, !0) the unique n(n matrix solution of the problem
(5.2.23)
6Y (!, !0) = H(!)Y (!, !0), ! $ R±,
Y (!0, !0) = Id .
Since by (5.2.21) (iii) the entries of the matrix H(!) are bounded by C/"!#2, theGronwall inequality shows that there exists M0 ! 1 such that
(5.2.24) *Y (!, !0)* " M0, for all !, !0 $ R± and # $ 2S±.
Moreover since Y (!, !0)!1 = Y (!0, !) we have also,
(5.2.25) *Y (!, !0)!1* " M0, for all !, !0 $ R± and # $ 2S±.
Now using (5.2.21) we see that the problem

zj(0) = yj ,

is equivalent, setting z = (zj)1!j!n, g = (gj)1!j!n, to
(5.2.27) z(!) = Y (!, 0) y +- &
0Y (!, t) g(t, z(t), #) dt.
Then we have the following Lemma.
Lemma 5.2.3. — One can find 2 > 0 such that for all y $ Cn such that |y| " 2,the problem (5.2.27) has a unique global solution z such that |z(!)| " 2M02 for all! $ R±. This solution will be denoted by z(!, y). Moreover one can find a constantC(N0, M0) ! 0 such that
(i)00$ (zj

(ii) |$,y z(!, y)| " C, , for all ! ! 0 and |y| " 2.
Proof. — Let 2 > 0 (to be chosen). Assume |y| " 2 and set A = {T > 0 such that(5.2.27) has a solution for ! $ [0, T ] satisfying |z(!)| " 2M0 2}. Since (5.2.27) (which isequivalent to (5.2.26)) has a continuous solution for small ! and since |z(0)|| = |y| " 2there exists (0 > 0 such that (0 $ A. Thus A is non empty and it is obviously aninterval. Let T # = sup A. If T # = +) we are done so assume T # < +). Let us takeT $ ]0, T #[. Then on [0, T ] we have
|z(!)| " |Y (!, 0) y| +- &
0*Y (!, t)* |g(t, z(t), #)| dt.
Now by (5.2.21) (ii) and (iii) we have
|g(t, z(t), #)| " KN0
"t#2 2M0 2 |z(t)|
if 2M0 2 " 1, where KN0 =&

It follows from (5.2.24) that,
|z(!)| " M0 2 +- &

"t#2 |z(t)| dt.
Then the Gronwall inequality implies that
|z(!)| " M0 2 exp.2M2

"t#2/.
Therefore taking 2 small (compared to M0 and KN0) we can achieve that|z(!)| " 3
2 M0 2 for all ! $ [0, T ]. A classical argument shows that z(T #) can bedefined and |z(T #)| " 3
2 M0 2. Then solving again (5.2.26) with data z(T #) we seeeasily that this contradicts the definition of T # as the supremum of A. ThereforeT # = +).
Now di!erentiating (5.2.27) with respect to yk yields

The Gronwall inequality shows that one can find K = K(N0, M0) such that55 (z(yk

Finally the estimate on $,y z, which is true for |3| = 0, 1 by the above results, can be
easily obtained by induction on |3| using (5.2.27), (5.2.21) and the Gronwall Lemma.
In the sequel we shall take 2 so small that C(M0, N0) 2 " 12 .
Let us now consider the map
(5.2.30)7
# : R± ( {y $ Cn : |y| " 2} '. R± ( Cn,(!, y) 0'. (!, z(!, y)).
We claim that # is injective. Indeed for a fixed ! $ R± if we have yj , j = 1, 2 suchthat |yj| " 2 and z(!, y1) = z(!, y2) then
0 =n#

$z
$yk(!, t y1 + (1 ' t) y2)(yk

Since |t y1+(1't) y2| " 2 when t $ [0, 1] we can use the estimate given in Lemma 5.2.3to ensure that
|Y (!, 0)(y1 ' y2)| " C%(N0, M0) 2 |y1 ' y2|.According to (5.2.25) this implies that y1 = y2 if 2 is small enough.
It follows that # is bijective on its range. We show now that
(5.2.31)7
If & is small enough we haveR± ( {z $ Cn : |z| " &} , #(R± ( {y $ Cn : |y| " 2}).
This equivalent to show that for fixed ! $ R±,
(5.2.32)7
for all z $ Cn such that |z| " & there exists y $ Cn
such that |y| " 2 and z(!, y) = z.
According to (5.2.27) the equation to solve is equivalent to the equation y = F (y)where
(5.2.33) F (y) = Y (!, 0)!1 z ' Y (!, 0)!1

Let B = {y $ Cn : |y| " 2}. We shall show that if & and 2 are small enoughcompared to N0, M0 then F maps B into B and there exists (0 < 1 such that|F (y1) ' F (y2)| " (0 |y1 ' y2| for all y1, y2 in B. Then (5.2.32) will follow from thefixed point Theorem. Since Y (!, 0)!1 = Y (0, !) and Y (0, !)Y (!, t) = Y (0, t) it followsfrom (5.2.24) and (5.2.21) that if |z| " & we have

Since by Lemma 5.2.3 we have |z(t, y1)' z(t, y2)| " C%(M0)|y1 ' y2| we obtain finally
|F (y1) ' F (y2)| " C%(M0, N0) 2 |y1 ' y2|.
Taking 2 small enough we obtain (5.2.32).We can now straighten the vector field L0 which is the principal part of L given
in (5.2.16). Let us make the change of variables, (!%, y) 0. (!, z(!, y)). Then we have,according to (5.2.26)

To end the proof of Lemma 5.2.2 we are left with the uniform estimates (ii).
MEMOIRES DE LA SMF 101/102
5.3. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 117
First of all, using the estimate in (5.2.14), (5.2.15), Lemma 5.2.3 (ii) and the Faadi Bruno formula we see that,
(5.2.34) |$,y (dN0(!%, z(!%, y), #)| " C,
"!%#2 .
Denoting by 5(!, z) the inverse map of y 0. z(!, y), that is 5(!, z(!, y)) = y and usingLemma 5.2.3 we see that,
(5.2.35) |$,z 5(!, z)| " C, for ! ! 0 and |z| " &.
Then let us set for / = 0, . . . , N0 + 1
A*(!, z, #) = 2A*(!, 5(!, z), #).
Using (5.2.34), (5.2.35), (5.2.16), (5.2.15) and the estimate in (5.2.12) we see that(A*)*=0,...,N0+1 satisfy all the requirements of Lemma 5.2.2. This ends the proof ofTheorem 5.1.1 in the case of outgoing points.
We consider now the case of incoming points.
5.3. The case of incoming points
We assume here that # $ T #Rn is such that 12 " |##| " 2 and
(5.3.1) #x · #% " 'c0 "#x# |#%|.
Since such points belong to S! (see Definition 3.2.2) the case where ! " 0 is coveredby the Section 5.2. We focus now on the case ! ! 0. Here the method used inSection 5.2 does not work for many technical reasons. For instance, when |#x| is verylarge, #% = '#x/|#x| and ! = 1
2 |#x| we can see that "x(!, #)# is of magnitude one.Therefore we are far from the estimate "x(!, #)# ! 1)
2"!# used for instance to get
(5.2.3). Here also we shall use the method which consists to straighten the vectorfield X , defined in (5.1.3). This is done by a change of variables in (!, x) deducedfrom the flow of X . The problem here is that X has non real coe"cients (because of('(xj
) which are merely C". Therefore we are led to push the problem in the complexdomain by extending all the functions almost analytically as in [MS] for instance.So we begin our Section by a Lemma on almost analytic extensions adapted to oursituation. In that follows we shall consider together two cases. Case 1: % = Rn
x , case2: % = %+ (see Definition 4.1.1). We shall denote by X the variable in % that isX = x in the first case, X = (!, x) in the second one.

and (5.3.9).Our aim is to show that if M1, M2, M3 are correctly chosen then A = [0, !].Let us show that the set A is not empty. Indeed if t = ! the estimates (5.3.6) to
(5.3.12) are satisfied with strict inequalities if M1 > 1, M2 > 2 C2, M3 > 1 (usingLemma 5.3.3). It follows that they still hold for T = ! ' (, if ( is small enough.
On the other hand A is an interval. Let T# = inf A. If T# = 0 then the theorem5.3.2 is proved. Assume then that T# > 0 and let T ! T#. Then on [T, !], (5.3.6) to(5.3.12) hold.
Remark 5.3.4. — If the case 2 is not empty then the point z0 = 0 satisfies all therequirements of case 1. Indeed if there exists z1 such that |z1 ' x(!, #)| > |x(!, #)|then |x(!, #)| < &2 "!# so |0 ' x(!, #)| < &2 "!# and the other requirements are trivial.Therefore if the case 2 is not empty then X(t, !, 0) is well defined on [T, !] and satisfies(5.3.6) to (5.3.9).

5.3. THE CASE OF INCOMING POINTS 121
Let us show that we have (t, X(t, !, z)) $ %C+ (see (5.3.3)). This is the case if
M1 &2 " &, M2 " c0, 2 M3 &2 " &. Indeed the only non trivial point is to prove that|X(t, !, z) ' x(t, #)| " & "t# in case 2. We have
|X(t, !, z) ' x(t, #)| " |X(t, !, z) ' X(t, !, 0)| + |X(t, !, 0) ' x(t, #)| = (1) + (2).
It follows from (5.3.10) that (1) " M1 |z| 't('&( and from (5.3.6) with z = 0, that
(2) " M1 |x(!, #)| 't('&( . Now by Lemma 5.3.3 (ii) we have |Re z| + |x(!, #)| < 3 |Re z
'x(!, #)|; since | Im z| " &2 we will have (1) + (2) " M1(&2 + 3 |Re z ' x(!, #)|) 't('&( .
Since |Re z ' x(!, #)| " &2 "!# we obtain finally (1) + (2) " 4 M1 &2 "t# " & "t#.In the sequel we shall denote by C or O(1) the constants which may depend on
bounds of p, # but are independent of M1, M2, M3. Moreover for the sake of simplicitywe shall write
(5.3.13)
6X(t) = X(t, !, z)2X(t) = x(t, #) in case 1, X(t, !, 0) in case 2.
In particular 2X(!) = x(!, #) in case 1 and 2X(!) = 0 in case 2. Our goal is to show thatthe estimates (5.3.6) to (5.3.12) hold on [T, !] with better constants than M1, M2, M3.
a) Improvement of (5.3.7) and (5.3.11). — By Theorem 4.4.10 (iii) we have#(!, x, #) ' #% = O(( + &) if (!, x) $ %+ and by Lemma 5.3.1 this estimate stillhold on %C

|#(t, X(t), #) ' #(t, 2X(t), #)| " C|Z(t)|"t# + |(1)| + |(2)|.
On the other hand (5.3.7), (5.3.11) with s = 0 imply that M1 "Re 2X(t)# ! "! ' t#.Therefore using the decay of the coe"cients bjk of q and the estimates (5.3.20), (5.3.21)we obtain

Gathering the estimates (5.3.20) to (5.3.23) we obtain the claim of the Lemma.
Next we state the following Lemma.
Lemma 5.3.6. — Let 0 " T < !. Let Y (t) = (Y1(t), . . . , Yn(t)) $ Cn be such thatY $ C1([T, !]) and satisfies on [T, !] the inequality
555Y (t) ' 22t ' i

Coming back to Y (t) we obtain the claim of the Lemma.
Corollary 5.3.7. — Let Z(t) be defined by (5.3.17). Then if (+& is small comparedto M1 we have

We can now show the improvement of (5.3.6) and (5.3.10). In the case 1 wehave 2X(!) = x(!, #) and in the case 2, 2X(!) = 0. Therefore in case 1 we find byCorollary 5.3.7,
|X(t, !, z)' x(t, #)| " 4"t#"!# |z ' x(!, #)|,
and in case 2,
|X(t, !, z) ' X(t, !, 0)| " 4"t#"!# |z|.
Taking M1 > 4 this shows that (5.3.6) and (5.3.10) have been improved.

We can now finish the proof of the improvement of (5.3.9).Indeed we have U(!) = Im(X(!, !, z) ' 2X(!, !, 0)) = Im z. Therefore Corol-

End of the proof of Theorem 5.3.2 in the cases 1 and 2. — The estimates (5.3.5) to(5.3.12) improved are true for t $ [T, !] for all T > T#. By continuity they continueto hold on [T#, !]. Now we consider problem (5.3.5) with data at t = T# equal toX(T#, !, #). For this problem the estimates (5.3.6) to (5.3.12) hold on [T# ' (0, T#]which contradicts the fact that T# = inf A.

If M4 is large enough, M5 > c1, M6 > 0 one can find (0 > 0 such that !' (0 $ A. LetT# = inf A. We want to prove that T# = !# if M4, M5, M6 are correctly chosen; letus assume T# > ! and let t ! T#.

true is equal to [!#, !].We can now give the proof of Theorem 5.3.2 in the case 3. Indeed (5.3.34) to
(5.3.36) imply the estimates (ii) to (iv) in this Theorem. To prove (i) we just remarkthat
|X(t, !, x) ' x(t, #)| " |X(t, !, x) ' x| + |x ' x(!, #)|

since "t# - "!# when t $ [!#, !]. Therefore we are done for t $ [!#, !]. For t $ [0, !#]we first remark that
X(t, !, x) = X(t, !#, X(!#, !, x)).
We would like to apply the cases 1 and 2 already done, with ! = !# and z = X(!#, !, x).So we have to prove that

First of all (i) is trivial since x(!#, #) · ## = 0. Now we have,
|X(!#, !, x) ' x(!#, #)| " |X(!#, !, x) ' x| + |x ' x(!#, #)| = (1) + (2).

X(t, !#, X(!#, !, x)) satisfies the estimates (5.3.5) to (5.3.9) in case 1 and (5.3.9) to(5.3.12) in case 2. Therefore we have the following estimate,

Here we have used (5.3.33), Lemma 4.4.17 and "!## - "!#. Therefore we obtain (i) of(5.3.5) if K ! C M1(1 + M4). Now (5.3.9) implies that

Using (5.3.36) and the same argument as in the term (1) we obtain

Thus (ii) in (5.3.5) is satisfied if K ! C(M1, M4, M6).From (5.3.15) (ii) with s = 1 we have
(3) = "Re X(t, !#, X(!#, !, x))# ! 15

Then using Lemma 5.3.6 and the fact that $Ax X(!, !, x) = 0 since |A| ! 2 we obtain
(5.3.45) for |A| = q + 1.
We need another lemma. Let us recall that we have set Lj(!, x) = (p(%j
(x, #(!, x, #)).
Lemma 5.3.14. — Let uj(t) = (Xj
(& (t, !, x) +&n
k=1(p(%k
(x, #(!, x, #)) (Xj
(xk(t, !, x).
Then for every integer N > 0 one can find a constant CN > 0 such that for allt $ [0, !] and all (!, x) in %+ we have

Proof. — First of allwe claim that uj(!) = 0. Indeed since Xj(!, !, x)+ (Xj

(xk(!, !, x) = &jk. Now
uj(t) =$Xj
$!(t, !, x) +

Using (5.3.4) we obtain

It follows then from (5.3.45) that with u(t) = (u1(t), . . . , un(t)),555uj(t) '

so Lemma 5.3.14 follows from Lemma 5.3.6 since uj(!) = 0.

We first state the following result.
Proposition 5.3.15. — Let u0 = u0(z) be a C" function in a neighborhood ofD0 = {z $ Cn : |z ' #x| " &1} such that for any N $ N one can find CN ! 0 suchthat for every j = 1, . . . , n and z $ D0,
555$u0
$zj(z)555 " CN | Im z|N .
For (!, x) $ R ( Rn, (!, x) $ D we set u(!, x) = u0(X(0, !, x)). Then for any N ! 0we can find C%
N ! 0 such that

(5.3.56) u(0, x) = u0(x)
(5.3.57)7
For any 3 $ Nn one can find C, ! 0 such that|$,
x u(!, x)| " C, for every (!, x) in D ! R ( Rn.
Proof. — First of all by (5.3.5) (i) we have for (!, x) $ D ! R ( Rn,
|X(0, !, x) ' #x| " K|x ' x(!, #)|
"!# " K&1
K= &1.
Therefore u(!, x) = u0(X(0, !, x)) is well defined and satisfies (5.3.57) by Proposi-tion 5.3.12, the fact that u0 is C" in a neighborhood of D0 and the Faa di Brunoformula (Chapter 7.2). Now since X(0, 0, x) = x, (5.3.56) is obvious. Let us check(5.3.55). We set
(1) =$u

and we write (1) = (A) + (B).By Lemma 5.3.14 with t = 0, the term (A) satisfies (5.3.55). By the hypothesis

Using (5.3.45) and the fact that # and the coe"cients of p are bounded we deducethat the term (B) satisfies also (5.3.55).

By (5.3.54) and (5.3.5)(iii) we have55 (a(zj

using Lemma 5.3.14 we obtain (5.3.58) for the term (A).Now it follows from (5.3.53) and (5.3.54) by interpolation that

Thus using (5.3.45), (5.3.5) (ii), (iii), we obtain (5.3.58) for the term (B) since # andthe coe"cients of p are uniformly bounded.
This is the last result before the final one solving the transport equations.
Proposition 5.3.17. — Let b be C" on D satisfying (5.3.52) and (5.3.53). Let usset B(s, !, x) = b(s, X(s, !, x)), s $ [0, !], (!, x) $ D ! R ( Rn. Then,

Assume that we show that for all . $ Nn, 3 $ N2n one can find C), ! 0 such that
(5.4.3) |$)z $,
" A*(!, z, #)| " C),
if |!| " 1 and 12 " |#%| " 2. It will follow from (5.4.1) to (5.4.3) and the Faa di Bruno

if |!| " 1, |x ' x(!, #)| " & "!#, 12 " |#%| " 2, which is the claim of Proposition 5.4.1.
So we are left with the proof of (5.4.3). By (5.2.8), (5.2.9) and (5.4.2) for all µ $ Nn,3 $ N2n there exists Cµ, ! 0 such that
|$µy $,

" hj(!, z, #)| " C), ,
for all |!| " 1, |z| " &, 12 " |#%| " 2. And we see easily from (5.2.5), (5.4.2), (5.2.15),
(5.2.16) that hN0j , dN0 , kN0
/ satisfy also the bound (5.4.5). By induction on the sizeof derivation, using the Faa di Bruno formula and the Gronwall Lemma we see easilythat the solution z = z(!, y, #) of (5.2.26) satisfies the bound
(5.4.6) |$µy $,
" z(!, y, #)| " Cµ,
uniformly for |!| " 1, |y| " 2, 12 " |#%| " 2. Moreover by Lemma 5.2.3, if we denote

" 5(!, z, #)| " C),

CHAPTER 6
MICROLOCAL LOCALIZATIONS AND THE USE OFTHE FBI TRANSFORM
In this Chapter using the phase and the amplitude constructed in Chapters 4and 5 we shall define general FBI transforms which will lead to a parametrix for theSchrodinger equation. These constructions will be microlocal so we will need severalmicrolocal localizations.
6.1. Preliminaries
6.1.1. The semi-classical calculus. — We shall work with semi-classical pseudo-di!erential operators (p.d.o) and we shall use the Weyl calculus described by Hor-mander. We refer to [H] for notations and details.
Let p $ Sm1,0(Rn) (the usual class of symbol of order m) and let us set
a(x, %) = p$x, %
$
%, + ! 1. It is easy to see that a $ S(M, g) where,
g = dx2 +d%2
+2 + |%|2 , M = +!m(+2 + |%|2)m/2.
The p.d.o associated to the symbol a is denoted by p$x, D
$
%. Then we have the
following symbolic calculus.i) Let p $ Sm
1,0, q $ Sm#
1,0. Then one can find /$ $ Sm+m#
1,0 such that
p+x,
D
+

The semi norms of /$ are uniformly bounded when + ! 1 and for any N $ N# wehave

where rN $ Sm+m#!N1,0 uniformly for + ! 1.

for every u $ L2(Rn) and + ! 1. As a consequence, for all s $ R and all p $ Sm1,0 one

6.1.2. The FBI transform. — We recall here the definition of the classical FBItransform as described in Sjostrand [Sj]. We set for # = (#x, #%) $ T #Rn, + ! 1,u $ L2(Rn) and cn = 2!n/24!3n/4,
(6.1.1) Tu(#, +) = cn +3n/4
-

ei$(y!"x)·"'!"2 |y!"x|2+ "
2 |"!|2 u(y) dy.
Then T maps continuously the space L2(Rn) to the space of functions v = v(#) suchthat e!
"2 |"!|2 v $ L2(R2n).
The adjoint of T is then given by the formula
(6.1.2) T #v(x, +) = cn +3n/4
-e!i$(x!"x)·"!!"
2 |x!"x|2!"2 |"!|2 v(x) d#.
Then we have
(6.1.3) T #T is the identity operator of L2(Rn).
We shall need also the expressions of T and T # by means of the Fourier transform.We have,

Let us consider now a self adjoint operator,
(6.1.5) P =n#

(Dj bj + bj Dj) + b0
with gjk = &jk + ( bjk, where ( is a small positive constant, &jk is the Kroneckersymbol and,

"x#k+1+!0, k = 0, 1, . . . , x $ Rn, "0 > 0.
Then by interpolation and duality we can prove the following estimates. For all s $ Rthere exists C ! 1 such that for all u $ C"

(6.1.6)1C*u*Hs " *(I + P )s/2 u*L2 " C *u*Hs .

6.2. The microlocalization procedure
We begin by introducing several cut-o! functions. Generally speaking we shalldenote by * (resp. -) cut-o! functions in the space (resp. frequency) variables.
Let %0 $ Rn, |%0| = 1 be fixed.Let *0 $ C"(R) be such that,
(6.2.1) *0(s) = 1 if s " 34, *0(s) = 0 if s ! 1, 0 " *0 " 1.
With &1 > 0 to be chosen later on we set
(6.2.2)
'()
(*
*+1 (x) = *0
+' x · %0
&1
,, *+
2 (x) = *0

2 (x) = *0
+x · %0
2&1
,, *+
3 (x) = *0
+x · %0
3&1
,.
These cut-o! functions will correspond to outgoing and incoming points. Now forconvenience we shall set,
(6.2.3) a =610
, b =1910
,
and with &2 " 1/100 (chosen later on) we introduce the following cut-o! functions.Let -0 $ C"(Rn) be such that 0 " -0 " 1 and
(6.2.4)

-0(%) = 1 if555

Let -1 $ C"0 (Rn) be such that, 0 " -1 " 1 and
(6.2.5)
6-1(%) = 1 if a ' &2 " |%| " b + &2,
supp -1 ,:% : a ' 2&2 " |%| " b + 2&2
;.
We shall set
(6.2.6) -2(%) = -0(%)-1(%).
Now we introduce for t $ R the operators,
(6.2.7)
'()
(*
U+(t) = *+1 (x)-2
+D
+
,e!itP ,
U!(t) = *!1 (x)-2
+D

Let now -3 $ C"0 (Rn) be such that 0 " -3 " 1 and

|%| + %0
555 " 4&2 and a ' 4&2 " |%| " b + 4&2
".
The first localization result requires to introduce the following Definition.
Definition 6.2.1. — We shall call R the set of families of operators R = (R$(t))depending on + $ [1, +)[ and t $ ['T, T ] such that for every N in N one can find aconstant CN ! 0 such that for every u $ S(Rn),
(6.2.10) *R$(t)u*H2N (Rn) " CN *u*H"2N (Rn)
uniformly with respect to (+, t) $ [1, +)[(['T, T ].
Then we can state the following result.
Theorem 6.2.2. — Let T > 0. For every t $ ['T, T ] and + ! 1 one can write
(6.2.11) K+(t) = *+1 -2

3 (#x)-3(#%)Ty$"
.e!itP *+
2 -2
+D
+

1
/
+ R+$ (t)
where (R+$ (t)) $ R. The same formula is true with the sign ' instead of +.
The proof of this Theorem requires several steps.
Lemma 6.2.3. — There exist a constant C > 0 such that000-2

for every v such that e!"2 |"!|2v $ L2(R2n).
Proof. — We claim that on the support of -2(%)(1 ' -3(#%)) we have
(6.2.12) |% + #%| ! 12
&2 |#%|.
Indeed, according to (6.2.4) to (6.2.6) and (6.2.9) we have on this support55 %|%| ' %0| " 2&2, a ' 2&2 " |%| " b + 2&2 and either |#%| " a ' 3&2 or |#%| ! b + 3&2 or

Let us introduce now the following set.

3 (#x) · -3(#%));
where *±3 and -3 have been defined in (6.2.2) and (6.2.9).
Then we can state the main result of this Section.
Theorem 6.3.1. — We have for t $ ['T, T ], and # $ W+,
T@e!itP *+
2 vA(#, +)
= +3n/4

where the operator J+$ is such that, for any M $ N one can find a constant CM > 0
such that for all + ! 1 and t $ ['T, T ]00e!

and the same is true with the minus sign.
Proof. — Let us introduce the following family of operators. We set for # $ W+
(6.3.7) Sv(!, t, #, +)

-
Rn
ei$'(&,y,") a(!, y, #, +)*+4 (y)*5

2 vA(y) dy.
We must verify that the right hand side is indeed well defined.On the support of *5 we have |y'x(!, #)| < &"!# (which is one of the conditions for
(!, y) to be in %+). If # $ W+ then either |#x ·##| " c0"#x#|##| or |#x ·##| > c0"#x#|##|and (#x, ##) $ supp(*+
2 ·-3). In the first case by (6.3.1) *+4 (y) = 1 but (!, y) $ %+ for

(6.2.2) and (6.2.9), #x · %0 ! '3&1 and55 "!

|#%|= '#x · %0 + #x ·
+ #%
|#%|+ %0
," 7 &1 "#x#.
SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE FRANCE 2005

On the other hand we have |#x · #%| > c0 "#x#|#%|. According to (6.3.8) we cannothave #x · #% > c0 "#x#|#%| if &1 7 c0 ; thus we must have #x · #% < 'c0"#x#|#%|. Sowe are in the case (iii) for the definition of %+. Since in the integral, on the supportof *+
4 (y) we have by (6.3.1), y · %0 ! '5 &1 ! '5 &1 "y#, we deduce that
y · #%
|#%|= 'y · %0 + y ·

|#%|+ %0

Therefore (!, y) $ %+ and the right hand side of (6.3.7) is well defined. Of course thesame argument is valid in the case of the minus sign.
Now let us set for s $ [0, t] if t > 0 (resp. s $ [t, 0] if t < 0)
(6.3.9) g(s) = Sv(+(s ' t), s, #, +).
Since g%(s) = (+$& + $t)(Sv)(+(s ' t), s, #, +) we obtain

Proof of Theorem 6.3.1 in the following cases
(6.3.16)
6(i) |#x · #%| " c0 "#x# |#%| and t $ ['T, T ],
(ii) |#x · #%| > c0 "#x# |#%| and t $ [0, T ].
In both these cases we are going to show, with the notations of (6.3.15), that B3 3 0.In the case (i) this is obvious since by (6.3.1) we took *+
4 (y) 3 1. Now ift > 0, by (6.3.9) we have ! = +(s ' t) " 0. In the case (ii) we have seen thatin the case + we must have #x · ## " 'c0 "#x# |##|. Now on the support of*5

y · %0 ! c0 "#x# + 2 |!| |#%|' 4 &1 "#x# ' C(& + ( + &1)"!#.
Since &, (, &1 are small compared to c0 we deduce that y · %0 ! c02 "!# in the integral
defining B3 in (6.3.15). Since the support of $,y *+
4 (y), for 3 += 0, is contained in34 " !y·%0
5 +1" 1 we deduce that B3 3 0 in this case, (see (6.3.1) and (6.2.2)). It follows

Indeed '|.| " |'|' 2j ' |A| so j ' |)|2 " |/|

respect to z. For the integral in z we use (6.3.36). The integral in % is estimatedthanks to the term 1

Therefore we obtain

To estimate the term (2) we use the change of variables 2# = (x(!, #), %(!, #)) as inthe proof of Lemma 6.3.2 and (6.3.36). This gives, (2) " C '&(n

We can therefore use the Schur Lemma and (6.3.30) to achieve the proof ofLemma 6.3.3.

6.3. THE ONE SIDED PARAMETRIX 167
Then we can apply Lemma 6.2.6 with *a = $,y *+

&1 =14
&1,
and in the second case we have,
|y ' .x| ! y · %0 ' .x · %0 ! 6 &1 ' 5 &1 = &1.
Therefore we obtain

Using Corollary 6.3.6 we deduce the following Lemma.

Taking (, &, &2 small with respect to &1 and a we obtain z · %0 " ' 103 &1. Now on the

It follows from Corollary 6.3.8 that Tz$) U(t, ·, +) = R+v where R+ satisfies(6.3.37). Now we use Lemma 6.3.5 and we obtain since |!| " +T ,00e!

Since Tz$) U(t, ·) = R+v, where R+ satisfies (6.3.37), we obtain the conclusion ofLemma 6.3.9.
To complete the proof of Theorem 6.3.1 in the case (6.3.25) we use (6.3.11), (6.3.14),Lemmas 6.3.2, 6.3.9 and the same argument as in the end of the proof of the case(6.3.17) to remove the cut-o! functions *+

THE DISPERSION ESTIMATE AND THE END OFTHE PROOF OF THEOREM 1.0.1
7.1. The dispersion estimate for the operators K±(t)
Let us recall that K±(t) have been introduced in (6.2.8). The purpose of thisparagraph is to prove the following result.
Theorem 7.1.1. — Let T > 0. Then there exists a constant C ! 0 such that
*K±(t)u*L! " C
|t|n/2*u*L1
for all 0 < |t| " T and all u $ L1(Rn).
Proof. — We shall use Theorem 6.4.1 and its notation and we shall consider onlyK+(t). Then we can write
(7.1.1) *K+(t)u*L! " *I*L! + *II*L! + *III*L!.
Let N0 $ N be such that 2N0 > n2 . By the Sobolev embedding and (6.4.1) we have

Taking N = 4N0 we obtain finally,
(7.1.3) *II*L! " C *u*L1 " C(T )|t|n/2
*u*L1.
So we are left with the estimation of *I*L!. Let us set
(7.1.4) k+(t, x, y, +) = +3n/2

and
(7.1.5) 2K+(t) v(x) =-

+D

,*+
1 v/(y) dy.
Then
(7.1.6) I = *+1 -2
+D
+
,*+
22K+(t) v.
Since the operator *+1 -2
$D$
%*+
2 is bounded from L" to L" with bound independentof + we have,
(7.1.7) *I*L! " C * 2K+(t) v*L! .
Assume that the kernel k+ has the following bound,
(7.1.8) |k+(t, x, y, +)| " C
|t|n/2,
with C independent of +. It will follow from (7.1.7), (7.1.5) and (7.1.8) that
*I*L! " C

Since the operator -2
$D$
%*+
1 is uniformly bounded on L1 we will have
(7.1.9) *I*L! " C
|t|n/2*v*L1 .
Then Theorem 7.1.1 follows from (7.1.1), (7.1.2), (7.1.3) and (7.1.9).
Proof of (7.1.8). — We divide the proof in three cases: +t ! 1, +t " '1, |+t| " 1.Let us remark first that in the integral in the right hand side of (6.1.4), on the
support of *+3 (#x) · -3(#%) we have '#x · %0 " 3 &1 and

7.1. THE DISPERSION ESTIMATE FOR THE OPERATORS K±(t) 173
Case A: proof of (7.1.8) when + t ! 1. — In this case ! = '+t < 0 and it followsfrom (7.1.10) and Definition 3.2.2 that all the points # in the integral giving k+ areoutgoing for ! < 0. It follows from Corollary 3.3.3 that
(7.1.11)$xj
$#k%
(!, #) = 2! &jk + O(( "!#), 1 " j, k " n.
Now using Theorem 6.4.1 and (7.1.4) we obtain

Case B: proof of (7.1.4) when +t " '1. — In the right hand side of (7.1.4) weintegrate on the support of *+
3 (#x) ·-3(#%) on which we have (7.1.10). We divide thissupport in two subsets U1 and U2 where
U1 =!# = (#x, #%) $ supp(*+
3 (#x)-3(#%)) : 'c0 "#x# |#%| " #x · #% " c0"#x# |#%|"
U2 =!# = (#x, #%) $ supp(*+
3 (#x)-3(#%)) : #x · #% " 'c0 "#x# |#%|"
According to Definition 3.2.2 we have U1 , S+ ! S! (which means that the points inU1 are outgoing both for ! ! 0 and ! " 0).
According to Corollary 3.3.3 we have (7.1.11) for ! $ R so in particular for! = '+t ! 1. Therefore the same arguments as those used in case 1 work. It followsthat the part of the integral giving k+ which concerns U1 is bounded by C |t|!n/2.We consider now the integral on U2. Here ! = '+t ! 1 and the points in U2 areincoming for ! ! 0. The needed estimate on k+ will follow from the following result.
SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE FRANCE 2005
174 CHAPTER 7. THE DISPERSION ESTIMATE
Proposition 7.1.2. — One can find a function g = g(!, y, #x) such that for all! ! 1, all # $ U2 and all y $ supp
$*+

$y!x(&,")'&(
%%we have,
|#% ' g(!, y, #x)| " C
!|y ' x(!, #)|.
For the proof we need the following Lemma.
Lemma 7.1.3. — Let # $ U2 and ! ! 1. Then for all Y $ Rn such that,')
*(i) Y · #% " 20 c0 "Y # |#%|,
(ii)555Y ' #x

555 " c0,
there exists a unique .%(!, Y, #x) $ Rn such that6|.%(!, Y, #x) ' #%| " 2 c0,
x('!, Y, .%(!, z, #x)) = #x.
Proof. — Let E = {.% $ Rn : |.% ' #%| " 2 c0}. Then we have
Y · .% = Y · #% + Y · (.% ' #%) " 20 c0 "Y # |#%| + 2 c0 "Y # <14"Y # |#%|.
It follows that the point (Y, .%) belongs to S! (see Definition 3.2.2). Since '! < 0 itfollows from Proposition 3.3.1 that the equation x('!, Y, .%) = #x is equivalent to,
Y ' 2!%('!, Y, .%) + z('!, Y, .%) = #x,
that is to the equation, Y '2! .% '2! 1('!, Y, .%)+ z('!, Y, .%) = #x. This equationcan be written,
.% =Y ' #x
2!' 1('!, Y, .%) +
12!
z('!, Y, .%) =: F (.%).
We show now that we can apply the fixed point theorem to F in the set E. First ofall if .% $ E we have,
|F (.%) ' #%| "555Y ' #x
2!' #%
555+ |1('!, Y, .%)| +12!
|z('!, Y, .%)|.
Using our assumption and Proposition 3.3.2 we obtain,
|F (.%) ' #%| " c0 + 2( " 2 c0 if 2( " c0.
Now if .% $ E, .%% $ E we have again by Proposition 3.3.2,
|F (.%) ' F (.%%)| " C ( |.% ' .%
%|.
Taking ( so small that C ( < 1 we obtain the conclusion of the Lemma.
Remark 7.1.4. — Let (!, #, y) as in Proposition 7.1.2. Then they satisfy the con-ditions of Lemma 7.1.3. Indeed we have y $ supp *+
4 that is 'y · %0 " 5 &1 and55 "!
|"!| + %0| " 4 &2. It follows that
y · #%
|#%|" y ·

|#%|+ %0

since &1 and &2 are small compared to c0.

Moreover we have |y ' x(!, #)| " & "!# "/

It follows that 555y ' #x

and for Y $ A let us set
(7.1.14) H(Y ) = %('!, Y, .%(!, Y, #x)).
Lemma 7.1.5. — There exists a constant C > 0 independent of !, # such that000
$H
$Y(Y )000 " C
!
for every Y in A.
Proof. — By Lemma 7.1.3 we have for j = 1, . . . , n,
xj('!, Y, .%(!, Y, #x)) = #jx.
Let us di!erentiate this equality with respect to Yk. We obtain
$xj
$xk('!, Y, .%(!, Y, #x)) +
#
*
$xj
$%*('!, Y, .%(!, Y, #x))
$.*%
$Yk(!, Y, #x) = 0.
Since the point (Y, .%) belongs to S! we have by Corollary 3.3.3
$xj
$xk('!, Y, .%(· · · )) = &jk + O((!),
$xj
$%*('!, Y, .%(· · · )) = '2! &jk + O((!).
It follows that

Now thanks again to the fact that (Y, .%) $ O! we deduce from Proposition 3.3.1that

Using Proposition 3.3.2 and (7.1.15) we obtain the claim of the Lemma.

Proof of Proposition 7.1.2. — We shall prove that the function g defined by,
(7.1.16) g(!, y, #x) = H(y) = %('!, y, .%(!, y, #x)),
satisfies the claim of the Proposition.To do so we must consider several cases.
Case 1. — Here we assume that
(7.1.17)
6x(!, #) · #% " 10 c0 "x(!, #)# |#% |,|y ' x(!, #)| < |x(!, #)|.
Let us show that this implies that
(7.1.18) t y + (1 ' t)x(!, #) $ A for all t $ [0, 1]
where A has been defined in (7.1.13).First of all using the Remark 7.1.4 and (7.1.17) we can write,
(ty + (1 ' t)x(!, #)) · #% < 10 c0(t "y# + (1 ' t)"x(!, #)#) |#% |" 10 c0[t(1 + |y|) + (1 ' t)(1 + |x(!, #)|)] |#% |.
Now we use Lemma 4.4.16 and we obtain
(ty + (1 ' t)x(!, #)) · #% < 10 c0(1 +/
2 · |ty + (1 ' t)x(!, #)|)|#% |" 20 c0"ty + (1 ' t)x(!, #)# |#% |.
On the other hand we have
|ty + (1 ' t)x(!, #) ' #x ' 2! #%| " t |y ' x(!, #)| + |x(!, #) ' #x ' 20 #%|" 2t &! + C (! < 2c0 !,
since y $ supp *5
$y!x(&,")'&(
%and (, & are small compared to c0.
In particular (7.1.18) for t = 0 and t = 1 shows that we can apply Lemma 7.1.3 toY = x(!, #), Y = y. Therefore we have
x('!, x(!, #), .%(!, x(!, #), #x)) = #x.
But we have alsox('!, x(!, #), %(!, #)) = #x
and since |%(!, #) ' #%| " C ( " 2 c0 it follows from the uniqueness of .% in the setE (see the proof of Lemma 7.1.3) that .%(!, x(!, #), #x) = %(!, #). Therefore we haveby (7.1.16),
#% = %('!, x(!, #), .%(!, x(!, #), #x)) = H(x(!, #)).Finally we write
|#j% ' gj(!, y, #x)| = |Hj(x(!, #)) ' Hj(y)|

so using (7.1.18) and Lemma 7.1.5 we obtain
|#% ' g(!, y, #x)| " C
!|y ' x(!, #)|.
Case 2. — Here we assume that
(7.1.19)
6x(!, #) · #% " 10 c0 "x(!, #)# |#% |,|y ' x(!, #)| > |x(!, #)|.
It follows that
(7.1.20) |y| " 2 |y ' x(!, #)|.
We claim that in this case we have
(7.1.21) ty $ A, tx(!, #) $ A for t $ [0, 1].
Indeed we have by Remark 7.1.4
ty · #% " t · 10 c0 "y# |#%| " 10 c0 "ty# |#%||ty ' #x ' 2! #%| " t |y| + |x(!, #)| + |x(!, #) ' #x ' 2! #%|
" 3 |y ' x(!, #)| + C ( "!# " 2(C ( + 3&) ! " 2 c0!.
tx(!, #) · #% " t · 10 c0 "x(!, #)# |#% | " 10 c0 "tx(!, #)# |#% ||tx(!, #) ' #x ' 2! #%| " (1 ' t)|x(!, #)| + |x(!, #) ' #x ' 2! #%| " 2 c0 !.
As before we have
(1) = |#% ' g(!, y, #x)| = |H(x(!, #)) ' H(y)|
and we write
(1) " |H(x(!, #)) ' H(0)| + |H(0) ' H(y)|

000$H
$Y(tx(!, #))

$Y(t, y)

Then we use (7.1.21), Lemma 7.1.5 and (7.1.19), (7.1.20) to conclude that
(1) " C
!|y ' x(!, #)|.
The last case is the following.
Case 3. — We assume that
(7.1.22) x(!, #) · #% > 10 c0 "x(!, #)# |#% |.
Recall that # $ U2 that is in particular #x ·#% " 'c0 "#x# |#%|. By (4.4.49) there exists!# $ ]0, ![ depending only on # such that x(!#, #) · #% = 0. Then by Lemma 4.4.17we have

SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE FRANCE 2005
178 CHAPTER 7. THE DISPERSION ESTIMATE
Here again we consider two subcases.
Case 3.1: x(!, #) ·#% > 10 c0 "x(!, #)# |#% |, |y'x(!#, #)| < |x(!#, #)|. — In this case,(7.1.23) ensures that
(7.1.24) ty + (1 ' t)x(!#, #) $ A.
This follows from Lemma 4.4.16, since t |y| "/
2 |ty + (1 ' t)x(!#, #)| and from thefollowing estimates,
|ty + (1 ' t)x(!#, #) ' #x ' 2! #%| " t |y ' x(!#, #)| + |x(!#, #) ' #x ' 2! #%|" 5t |y ' x(!, #)| + 2 |! ' !#| |#%| + O(( !#) " C(& + () ! " 2 c0!.
Then we write
|#% ' g(y, !, #x)| = |H(y) ' #%| " |H(y) ' H(x(!#, #))|< => ?(1)
+ |H(x(!#, #)) ' #%|< => ?(2)
.
By (7.1.24), Lemma 7.1.5 and (7.1.23) we have
(7.1.25) (1) " C
!|y ' x(!, #)|.
Now we have
x+' !, x(!#, #),
!#
!%(!#, #)
,= x('!#, x(!#, #), %(!#, #)) = #x.
Therefore
.%(!, x(!#, #), #x) =!#
!%(!#, #).
It follows that
H(x(!#, #)) = %+' !, x(!#, #),
!#
!%(!#, #)
,=
!#
!%('!#, x(!#, #), %(!#, #)) =
!#
!#%.
Therefore
(7.1.26) (2) = |#%||! ' !#|
!" C
!|y ' x(!, #)|
by (7.1.23). The estimates obtained on (1) and (2) show that
|#% ' g(!, y, #x)| " C
!|y ' x(!, #)|
which is the claim of Proposition 7.1.2.The last step concerns the following case.
MEMOIRES DE LA SMF 101/102
7.1. THE DISPERSION ESTIMATE FOR THE OPERATORS K±(t) 179
Case 3.2: x(!, #) · #% > 10 c0 "x(!, #)# |#% |, |x(!#, #)| " |y ' x(!#, #)|. — It followsthen from (7.1.23) that we have
(7.1.27) |y| + |x(!#, #)| " C |y ' x(!, #)|.
Moreover we have
(7.1.28) ty $ A, tx(!#, #) $ A for t $ [0, 1].
Indeed we can write,
ty · #% " t · 10 c0 "y# |#%| " 10 c0 "ty# |#%||ty ' #x ' 2! #%| " t |y| + |x(!#, #)| + |x(!#, #) ' #x ' 2! #%|

" 2 c0 !
by (7.1.23). Then we can write
|#% ' g(!, y, #x)| " |H(y) ' H(x(!#, #)| + |H(x(!#, #) ' #%|" |H(y) ' H(0)| + |H(0) ' H(x(!#, #))| + |H(x(!#, #) ' #%|.
Using (7.1.28), Lemma 7.1.5, (7.1.26) we obtain
|#% ' g(!, y, #x)| " C
!| y ' x(!, #)|.
This completes the proof of Proposition 7.1.2.
End of the proof of (7.1.8) in case B, (+t " '1). — For the part of the integral in(7.1.4) (giving k+) where # $ U2 we use Proposition 7.1.2. Let us call it (1). As in(7.1.12) we have

Let *6 $ C"0 Rn) be such that,
(7.1.31)
6*6(x) = 1 if |x| " 1
2 ,
*6(x) = 0 if |x| ! 1,
We write in the integral in the right hand side of (7.1.29) 1 = *6(x'#x)+1'*6(x'#x).The part of the integral containing 1'*6(x'#x) can be bounded, using (7.1.30),
by the quantity
C +3n/2 e!"16

which is 0(1) uniformly in (t, x, y, +). Setting a1(!, y, #) = a(!, y, #)*+2 (y)*+

(7.1.32) 2k+(t, x, y, +)

Let us note that, according to Lemmas 7.1.6, 7.1.7 and 7.1.10 L is a vector field whosecoe"cients are uniformly bounded together with their derivatives with respect to #.Moreover we have
(7.1.46) L ei$F = +Q ei$F .
Our first goal is to prove the following result.
Proposition 7.1.11. — For any N in Nn we can write
LN ei$F (&,x,y,") =++N QN +
N!1#
k=1
hk,N (!, x, y, #)+k,

where hk,N are smooth functions satisfying

uniformly when 0 < |!| " 1, |x ' #x| " 1, |y ' x(!, #)| " 2&, |#%| " 2.
Proof
Step 1. — Let H be the set of C" functions c = c(!, x, y, #) such that for any3 $ N2n, $,
"c is uniformly bounded when 0 < |!| " 1, |x'#x| " 1, |y ' x(!, #)| " 2&,|#%| " 2. For instance (F

Let us set T = (F("x

(F("!

(F("!

that L maps P into P .Now if P $ P then |P | " C Q. It follows that for all j $ N,

Step 2. — We claim that
(7.1.48)
6for all N $ N, j $ N we have |Lj QN | " CjN QN uniformly when
0 < |!| < 1, |x ' #x| " 1, |y ' x(!, #)| " 2&, |#%| " 2.
SOCIETE MATHEMATIQUE DE FRANCE 2005

Indeed by the Faa di Bruno formula (since L is a homogeneous vector field) Lj QN isa finite linear combination of terms of the form

where 1 " M " N , 1 " s " M ,&s

i=1 ki /i = j. Each of such termsis bounded, according to (7.1.47) by C QN!M Q
Psi ki = C QN!M QM = C QN which
proves our claim.
Step 3. — Proof of Proposition 7.1.11We use an induction on N . For N = 1 the result follows from (7.1.46). Let us
assume it is true up to the order N . Then

Using (7.1.47), (7.1.48) and the induction hypothesis we deduce that |Lj hN,N+1| "Cj,N QN . The estimates for the other terms are completely analogous.
We need another Lemma.
Lemma 7.1.12
(i) For any N $ N# we can write
LN (ei$F ) = GN (!, x, y, #, +) ei$F .
(ii) There exists a constant KN > 0 such that
|KN + GN (!, x, y, #, +)| ! 12(+N QN + 1).
(iii) For any j $ N, N $ N# we can find a constant Cj,N > 0 such that
|Lj GN (!, x, y, #, +)| " Cj,N |GN (!, x, y, #, +) + KN |.

Then (iv) follows from (7.1.50).
We can now state the estimate on the kernel for |!| " 1.
Lemma 7.1.13. — Let 2k+ = 2k+(t, x, y, +) be the kernel defined by (7.1.32). Thenone can find a positive constant C such that

for all (t, x, y, +) such that + ! 1, |+t| " 1, x $ Rn, y $ Rn.
Proof. — The kernel 2k+ can be written as
2k+(t, x, y, +) =-
ei$F (!$t,x,y,") 2a(+t, x, y, #) d#
where
2a(+t, x, y, #) = a1('+t, y, #)*6(x ' #x)-3(#%)*5

Let us note that all the derivatives of 2a with respect to # are uniformly bounded.

It follows from Theorem 7.1.1 that there exists C ! 0 such that

for all t1, t2 in ['T, T ] with t1 += t2 and all f $ L1(Rn). Moreover there is a conser-vation of the L2 norm for e!itP which implies,
*U±(t)u0*L2(Rn) " C *u0*L2(Rn)
for all |t| " T and u0 $ L2(Rn).We can therefore apply Lemma 2.1.3 with X = Rn, H = L2(Rn) and we obtain

A.3. Proof of Proposition 3.3.2
The system satisfied by z and 1 is the following.
(A.3.1)
'(((((()

1j(t) = '(n#

$bpq
$xj(x(t)) %p(t) %q(t)
zj(0) = 1j(0) = 0.
By Proposition 3.3.1 we have "x(t, x, %)# ! C(1 + |x|+ t). This implies that for / ! 1,
(A.3.2)- t

"x(s)#*+!0" C*

We proceed by induction on k. Let us begin by the case k = 0. We deduce from(A.3.1) that
|zj(t)| " C(A0, A1) (+ 1"x(t)#1+!0
+t
"x(t)#2+!0

since |%(t, x, %)| " 2 |%| " 4. Then the estimates in Proposition 3.3.2 when k = 0follow from (A.3.2). Assume now that these estimates are true when |A|+ |B| " k'1and let us deduce several facts.
For / $ N let us introduce the space,

The first two terms in the right hand side of (A.4.13) define a C" function. For thethird one we deduce from (A.4.10), (A.4.11) and (A.4.12) that
|$Ax $B

On the support of *(h|)|+N) ' *(h|)|+N+1), we have L|)|+N R " 1. It follows that
