We show that the standard propagation theorem holds for bicharacteristics travelling transversally to the surface $Y$ whenever the potential is absolutely continuous. Furthermore, even when bicharacteristics are tangent to $Y$ at exactly first order, as long as the potential has an absolutely continuous first derivative, standard propagation continues to hold.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-02-16T08:56:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "schrödinger operators", "potentials singular", "hypersurface", "standard propagation theorem holds", "standard propagation continues" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
