Abstract

We study linear PDE constraints for vector-valued functions and distributions. Our focus lies on wave solutions. These give rise to distributions with low-dimensional support. Special waves from vector potentials are represented by syzygies. We parametrize all waves by projective varieties derived from the support of the PDE. These include determinantal varieties and Fano varieties, and they generalize wave cones in analysis.
