Abstract

We study certain families of oscillatory integrals Iφ(a)I_\varphi(a), parametrised by phase functions φ\varphi and amplitude functions aa globally defined on Rd\mathbb{R}^d, which give rise to tempered distributions, avoiding the standard homogeneity requirement on the phase function. The singularities of Iφ(a)I_\varphi(a) are described both from the point of view of the lack of smoothness as well as with respect to the decay at infinity. In particular, the latter will depend on a version of the set of stationary points of φ\varphi, including elements lying at the boundary of the radial compactification of Rd\mathbb{R}^d. As applications, we consider some properties of the two-point function of a free, massive, scalar relativistic field and of classes of global Fourier integral operators on Rd\mathbb{R}^d, with the latter defined in terms of kernels of the form Iφ(a)I_\varphi(a).
