Abstract

We determine the behavior in time of singularities of solutions to some Schrödinger equations on Rn. We assume the Hamiltonians are of the form H0+V, where {Mathematical expression}, and where V is bounded and smooth with decaying derivatives. When all ωk=0, the kernel k(t, x, y) of exp (-itH) is smooth in x for every fixed (t, y). When all ω1 are equal but non-zero, the initial singularity "reconstructs" at times {Mathematical expression} and positions x=(-1)my, just as if V=0;k is otherwise regular. In the general case, the singular support is shown to be contained in the union of the hyperplanes {Mathematical expression}, when ωjt/π=lj for j=j1,..., jr.
