Caustics of weakly Lagrangian distributions

Abstract

We study semiclassical sequences of distributions uhu_h associated to a Lagrangian submanifold of phase space \lagTX\lag \subset T^*X. If uhu_h is a semiclassical Lagrangian distribution, which concentrates at a maximal rate on \lag,\lag, then the asymptotics of uhu_h are well-understood by work of Arnol'd, provided \lag\lag projects to XX with a stable Lagrangian singularity. We establish sup-norm estimates on uhu_h under much more general hypotheses on the rate at which it is concentrating on \lag\lag (again assuming a stable projection). These estimates apply to sequences of eigenfunctions of integrable and KAM Hamiltonians.
