Abstract

We consider second-order hyperbolic equations with rough time-independent coefficients. Our main result is that such equations are well posed on the Hardy spaces HFIOs,1(Rn)\mathcal{H}^{s,1}_{FIO}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and HFIOs,(Rn)\mathcal{H}^{s,\infty}_{FIO}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) for Fourier integral operators if the coefficients have C1,1CrC^{1,1}\cap C^{r} regularity in space, for r>n+12r>\frac{n+1}{2}, where ss ranges over an rr-dependent interval. As a corollary, we obtain the sharp fixed-time H1(Rn)\mathcal{H}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and bmo(Rn)\mathrm{bmo}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) regularity for such equations, extending work by Seeger, Sogge and Stein in the case of smooth coefficients.
