Abstract

We establish a compensated compactness theorem in the microlocal and geometric analytic framework. For a weakly Lloc2L^2_{\rm loc}-convergent sequence of sections of a vector bundle over a semi-Riemannian manifold whose image under a pseudo-differential operator A\mathscr{A} of order s>0s>0 is precompact in HlocsH^{-s}_{\rm loc}, we show that a quadratic form QQ acting on this sequence converges in the distributional sense, provided that QQ vanishes on the operator cone of A\mathscr{A}. This extends the classical Murat--Tartar theory of compensated compactness from constant-coefficient first-order differential constraints on Euclidean spaces to variable-coefficient pseudo-differential constraints of arbitrary order on semi-Riemannian manifolds.
