Geometry of isotypic Kronecker webs

An isotypic Kronecker web is a family of corank m foliations { t } t P 1 such that the curve of annihilators t ↦ (T x F t)⊥ ∈ Grm(T x* M) is a rational normal curve in the Grassmannian Grm(T x*M) at any point x ∈ M. For m = 1 we get Veronese webs introduced by I. Gelfand and I. Zakharevich [Gelfand I.M., Zakharevich I., Webs, Veronese curves, and bi-Hamiltonian systems, J. Funct. Anal., 1991, 99(1), 150–178]. In the present paper, we consider the problem of local classification of isotypic Kronecker...

Dynamics of wave propagation and curvature of discriminants

Victor P. Palamodov (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

For a Lagrange distribution of order zero we consider a quadratic integral which has logarithmic divergence at the singular locus of the distribution. The residue of the asymptotics is a Hermitian form evaluated in the space of positive distributions supported in the locus. An asymptotic analysis of the residue density is given in terms of the curvature form of the locus. We state a conservation law for the residue of the impulse-energy tensor of solutions of the wave equation which...
