Analytic Wave Front Set for Solutions to Schrödinger Equations II -- Long Range Perturbations

Abstract

This paper is a continuation of a paper by the authors: arXiv:0706.0415, where short range perturbations of the flat Euclidian metric where considered. Here, we generalize the results of the paper to long-range perturbations (in particular, we can allow potentials growing like $<x{>}^{2-\epsilon }$ at infinity). More precisely, we construct a modified quantum free evolution $G_0(-s,h{D}_z)$ acting on Sjöstrand's spaces, and we characterize the analytic wave front set of the solution $e^{-itH}{u}_0$ of the Schrödinger equation, in terms of the semiclassical exponential decay of $G_0(-t{h}^{-1},h{D}_z)T{u}_0$, where $T$ stands for the Bargmann-transform. The result is valid for $t<0$ near the forward non trapping points, and for $t>0$ near the backward non trapping points. It is an extension of a paper by Nakamura (arXiv:math/0605742) to the analytic framework.
