The propagation of polarization in double refraction

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We define systems of uniaxial type, which generalize Maxwell's system of equations for uniaxial crystals. We compute the geometric invariants of these systems. Using energy estimates, we prove results on the propagation of Sobolev polarization sets. The polarization sets refine the wave front sets of vector valued distributions.
