Wave front set for solutions to perturbed harmonic oscillators

Abstract

We consider Schr\"odinger equations with variable coefficients and the harmonic potential. We suppose the perturbation is short-range type in the sense of [Nakamura 2004]. We characterize the wave front set of the solutions to the equation in terms of the classical scattering data and the propagator of the unperturbed harmonic oscillator. In particular, we give a "recurrence of singularities" type theorem for the propagation of the period $t=\pi$.
