Abstract
We establish a compensated compactness theorem in the microlocal and geometric analytic framework. For a weakly -convergent sequence of sections of a vector bundle over a semi-Riemannian manifold whose image under a pseudo-differential operator of order is precompact in , we show that a quadratic form acting on this sequence converges in the distributional sense, provided that vanishes on the operator cone of . 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.
