Orthogonality of H-distributions and applications

Abstract

We extend G\'erard's results on orthogonality of ${\rm L}^2_{\rm loc}$ sequences as a consequence of mutual singularity of corresponding H-measures (microlocal defect measures) to ${\rm L}^p$/${\rm L}^q$ sequences and newly introduced notion of orhogonality for H-distributions. We apply the result to a homogenisation problem for the heterogeneous Boltzmann equation with space-dependent drift and periodic opacity.
