How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Distributions, conormal kernels, and cotangent relations
Definition
Let be a smooth -manifold. A distribution on is a continuous complex-linear functional on compactly supported smooth densities on . Its topology is generated locally by the fixed-support seminorms , followed by the locally convex test-function topology. In a chart a test density is ; under a coordinate change it transforms by the absolute Jacobian. A distribution is compactly supported when its support, the complement of its largest vanishing open set, is compact.
For a smooth submersion , define the pullback by transposing fiber integration: in submersion coordinates ,
The absolute density quotient gives the fiber density in other submersion coordinates. For a distributional density on , meaning a continuous functional on compactly supported smooth scalar functions, define its support by the same largest-vanishing-open-set rule. If is smooth and proper on , then for a test function on the set is compact. Choose a smooth compact cutoff equal to one near this set and define the pushforward by
The support property makes this independent of ; the cutoff is needed because need not be compactly supported on all of . A smooth density times a distribution in the test-density convention is the distributional density defined by .
Let be smooth manifolds and an embedded submanifold whose two projections are submersions. For a smooth density on , assume ambient local finiteness: for every compact . This holds, in particular, when is closed in . Its incidence delta kernel is the distributional density
In coordinates with , this is the delta distribution in the variables paired with the chosen density on . The conormal bundle and associated cotangent relation are
Here removes the zero covector, and the minus sign is the distribution-kernel convention for an operator from to . Since both projections are submersions, every nonzero conormal in this relation has both and . For the analytic terminology, equip and with fixed real-analytic atlases compatible with their smooth structures: chart transitions and their inverses have locally convergent real power series. An analytic incidence kernel additionally requires that admit real-analytic local defining submersions in these product charts and that have real-analytic coefficients in the induced analytic charts on . This definition covers the incidence kernels used below; it does not assert a general Fourier-integral-operator calculus.

Proof
Given: The data in the definition.
In submersion coordinates , a compactly supported test density on is . Its fiber integral is . The integrand has compact support, so differentiation under the integral gives a smooth function; its support lies in the compact projection of . Thus is a test density and transposing this operation defines .
If is smooth and proper on and is compact in , then is compact. Choose one smooth cutoff equal to one near . For every test function supported in , smoothness of makes smooth with support in the fixed compact set , so define . If another cutoff is used, the difference of the two test functions vanishes on a neighborhood of : it vanishes near because both cutoffs equal one there, and at every point of , continuity of gives a neighborhood mapped outside the closed set , where . Hence [F4] gives the same pairing; choosing a common cutoff for the union of two compact test supports also proves linearity. The chain and product rules bound every fixed-support seminorm of by finitely many fixed-support seminorms of , so continuity of proves continuity of . A finite cover by coordinate balls and [F12] supplies . Multiplication by a smooth density is defined by the stated transpose formula, so the typed pushforward is well-defined.
For tests supported in a fixed compact , ambient local finiteness gives . Thus the integral is finite and continuous in the fixed-support test topology. If is closed, is compact in , and finitely many relatively compact charts bound this integral for every smooth density. In coordinates where , the functional is integration of the restricted test function against . Under a change of coordinates on , the coefficient transforms by the absolute tangential Jacobian [F5], so the functional is independent of the defining chart.
A covector annihilating transforms by the inverse transpose rule [F6], so and are coordinate independent. If a conormal has the form , it annihilates the image of , which is all of because is a submersion; therefore . Applying the same argument to shows that can only be zero.
The analytic conditions are relative to the fixed atlases. On overlaps of induced analytic charts on , the nonzero coordinate Jacobian has locally constant sign, so its absolute value is analytic. The density transition rule therefore preserves analyticity of its coefficient. The defining submersions and analytic chart changes specify the same analytic embedded submanifold, while the underlying smooth distribution operations are unchanged.
On overlapping submersion charts, the full absolute Jacobian factors into the base Jacobian and the fiber-density quotient. The fiber integral therefore transforms as a base density. This proves that the transposed functional in step 1.1 is chart independent.
Let be any compactly supported test density on ; the zero test is immediate. Its support is compact. Cover by finitely many smaller coordinate balls whose closures lie in coordinate balls . Using [F12] in each chart, choose supported in and equal to one on , and put . Then on a neighborhood of . A second finite cover by coordinate balls and [F12] gives a compactly supported smooth in equal to one near . Define on and extend by zero outside. Each is smooth and compactly supported in , and . Hence , since near . Each term is a chartwise pairing with a compactly supported Euclidean distribution, so [F9] and [F10] give its tempered and smooth-function realizations. The finite sum therefore recovers the original functional and its packet pairings, without assuming compact or choosing global coordinates.

Choose a nonnegative smooth bump supported in the unit ball and equal to one on the ball of radius , using [F1].

Since and , choose smaller than one third of each distance and , omitting the second restriction when .
For each , put , , and recursively , for . Compact-rectangle Fubini [F4] and change of variables give and ; [F4] also permits reassociation of these compact convolution integrals. Define . The integral defining is over a fixed compact rectangle. Differentiating the smooth kernel under this compact integral is justified by uniform convergence of its difference quotients on that rectangle, so is smooth. Positivity and unit mass give . If , then every satisfies , hence and . Also .
For smooth compactly supported , write . Fubini on a rectangle containing their supports and the triangle inequality give Also by differentiating under the compact integral and integration by parts; there is no boundary term because the factors have compact support. For , distribute the coordinate derivatives to distinct convolution factors in . Scaling gives so repeated use of the preceding inequality yields For this is .
Since , Thus the lemma holds with (or any larger fixed constant), uniformly for every . The cutoffs are smooth and no analytic bump is used.

Proof
Given: The function and Hessian in the statement.
Because is complex symmetric and invertible, some vector has : otherwise polarization would give for every , contradicting invertibility. Extend to a basis and use this as a complex linear coordinate change, so . From now on, compose each coordinate change with the preceding ones; denotes the final map from the original coordinates. The holomorphic equation has a unique holomorphic solution near by [F3] and [F4], since and .
Set . Taylor's formula in , with the linear term zero, gives The integral is holomorphic by locally uniform convergence of the power series [F2]; . Shrink the polydisc so with . The binomial series for converges absolutely by [F2], so is holomorphic and has nonzero -derivative at .
By [F4], is biholomorphic near , and the phase becomes . The Hessian of the reduced phase in is the Schur complement . It is invertible because the block determinant formula gives .
For real symmetric positive-definite , [F8] gives with lower triangular and positive diagonal. Since is real, is another such factorization; uniqueness in [F8] gives , so is real and . On each ball , the map sends a compact Jordan set to a compact Jordan set; [F11] changes variables by . Letting and using [F12] gives the corresponding nonnegative improper-integral equality. Since , [F9]–[F10] give . Repeated compact-rectangle Fubini [F15] factors the standard Gaussian integral on into one-dimensional integrals, and [F12] lets . By [F13] and the substitution in [F14], each one-dimensional integral of is . Finally, scales the integral by , proving the formula for real positive-definite with the positive determinant root.
Repeating steps 1.1–2.1 on the reduced phase proves the normal form by induction on , with the constant phase as the case. Because is the composite from the original coordinates, differentiating twice at gives the original Hessian identity ; taking determinants gives the asserted square relation. For a continuous parameter family, continuity of lets one restrict to a neighborhood whose determinant image lies in a disc avoiding zero, where a square-root branch can be fixed from its base value.
For complex symmetric with positive-definite real part, the Gaussian integral is holomorphic in its entries: on each compact subset of this matrix domain, the integrand and its entry derivatives are bounded by a polynomial times for some , so [F6] permits differentiation under the integral. This domain is convex, hence connected, and there because would imply for . For , [F16] and determinant multiplicativity give . Thus depends holomorphically on , satisfies , and is zero at . When is real positive definite, its segment is real positive definite, so is real and the branch is positive. The real Gaussian formula from step 3.2 and the complex integral formula agree on a real open set of positive-definite matrices. In a polydisc centered at any point of that set, apply the one-variable identity theorem successively in the independent entries of a complex symmetric matrix; then [F5] extends the identity from that polydisc to the connected matrix domain.
The holomorphic -form in the statement is closed: in complex coordinates its exterior derivative has repeated holomorphic differentials and no antiholomorphic coefficients. The difference of two homologous admissible contours is the boundary of the swept chain. By [F7], its integral is the boundary integral on the truncation of that chain; the stated decay makes this term tend to zero as the truncation expands. Therefore the contour integrals agree.

In local fiber coordinates this is integration of over the incidence fibers with weight and density . The hypotheses on proper support ensure this transform is defined for every compactly supported input. This is the class treated on this page; no noisy-data or stability assertion is included.

Given: The manifolds , maps , density , weight , and input .
The chart representatives are smooth submersions by [F2]–[F3], and their analytic representatives have local holomorphic extensions by [F5]–[F6]. Hence the fiber and incidence data in the statement are well-defined in the stated smooth and analytic categories.
The pullback exists by [F1]. Multiplying it by the nowhere vanishing analytic density gives a distributional density; multiplication by the smooth function preserves that type. If with compact, the support of this product lies in , on which is proper by hypothesis.
The proper pushforward in [F1] therefore defines as a distributional density on . In coordinates, transposing fiber integration in the two submersions shows that it pairs a data test function with the integral over the corresponding incidence fiber, weighted by ; the density Jacobians cancel by [F4]. The cotangent relation of the kernel is precisely by the sign convention in [F1].
Analytic wavefront set by Gaussian FBI packets
Definition
Let be a distribution, not necessarily compactly supported, or a distributional density (a continuous functional on compactly supported smooth scalar functions), on a real-analytic -manifold . Let lie in an analytic coordinate chart and let have coordinate components in that chart. For supported in the chart and equal to near , define the Gaussian FBI packet
When is a scalar distribution, the pairing is with the displayed function times coordinate density ; when is a distributional density, the pairing is with the displayed scalar function. In both cases is the cotangent frequency. The covector is analytically regular for in this chart if there are such a cutoff , a neighborhood of , an open neighborhood of in the unit sphere, and constants such that
The analytic wavefront set is the set of nonzero cotangent vectors for which this exponential estimate fails. This is a chart-local definition. The separate local FBI-invariance claim needed for a geometric interpretation is stated by the companion lemma.

Distributions, conormal kernels, and cotangent relations: distributions act continuously on compactly supported smooth densities; multiplication by the compactly supported cutoff localizes any distribution to the chart.
Real analytic germs in several variables: analytic charts have holomorphic complexifications near each point.
Multi-indexed power series in and their absolute convergence: the chart complexifications and their derivatives are represented by convergent power series on smaller polydiscs.
Proof
Given: The data in the definition.
For fixed , the function of in the displayed pairing is smooth and supported in , hence it is a test density. Therefore the packet is a well-defined complex number by [F1].
Replacing by a positive multiple leaves the unit direction unchanged; the definition quantifies over all and an open cone of unit directions. Thus analytic regularity is conic in the cotangent variable, and its complement defines a conic subset of .
By [F2]–[F3], an analytic coordinate change near extends to a holomorphic map on a smaller complex neighborhood, so its cotangent action and Gaussian packet phase are locally defined there. The definition makes no claim that the numeric packet is unchanged under this change; the next lemma proves equivalence for the packet families actually used on this page.

Proof
Given: The data in the statement.
Choose so that on for every , the phase and amplitude are holomorphic near , and the stated positivity holds. The positive-phase hypothesis and compactness of give there. Since is bounded and is bounded by one, the absolute value of that contribution after multiplication by is at most , uniformly in . Thus only the integral over the fixed local ball affects the power series; the complement contributes .
Put , so and . Apply [F1] to obtain a holomorphic Morse coordinate with . The transformed real ball is a local contour through . The transformed amplitude is holomorphic in a fixed polydisc and has coefficients bounded by for some by [F3]–[F5].
Differentiating the Morse identity in [F1] twice at gives , where . Taylor's formula gives ; comparing with and dividing by as yields . For a real vector , write with . Then when . In particular, the real projection on is injective, hence bijective by dimension, and for a real linear map . For nonzero , applying the strict inequality to gives ; compactness of the unit sphere gives . The real inverse theorem [F6] makes the nonlinear contour a graph , with . For sufficiently small , the homotopy graphs remain in the holomorphic chart and satisfy for , because the linear margin dominates the error. The homotopy , , also has . On the fixed outer boundary these bounds, together with boundedness of the transformed amplitude and Jacobian, make the integrals . [F7] and the contour statement in [F1] therefore deform to the real Gaussian contour, with only that exponential boundary term.
Truncate the Taylor series after total degrees below . On a smaller ball , the Cauchy bound [F5] and a geometric-series estimate give Integrating this remainder against and using bounds it by For the last inequality, convexity gives . Fubini factors each summand into one-dimensional Gaussian moments; integration by parts gives with , since the polynomial times Gaussian boundary term tends to zero. Hence , and the displayed integral is at most . Absorb this fixed-dimensional factor into . The extension of the Taylor polynomial from to the full real Gaussian integral needs a separate estimate uniform in . For and , . Cauchy's coefficient bound and the at most exponential count of degree- multi-indices give , since are fixed positive constants and the sum has terms after grouping degrees. Consequently . Thus the polynomial extension tail is controlled by the factorial remainder for every , rather than by an exponential constant independent of . The actual amplitude away from the local critical region and the contour boundary still have the exponential estimates from step 1.1 and [F1]; no extension of that amplitude outside its holomorphy neighborhood is used. Combining these estimates proves the stated normalized error for every .
Expand and group by total degree. Odd monomials integrate to zero over because the Gaussian and domain are invariant under . Each monomial of degree contributes a constant times by the change of variables . In one dimension, integration by parts gives and , hence . Products give the -dimensional moments. If and , then ; all monomials with an odd coordinate vanish. After scaling, every degree- moment is therefore at most . The number of degree- multi-indices is at most and , so the coefficient of is bounded by . The Jacobian at zero contributes on the chosen branch, and the degree-zero coefficient is .
For and sufficiently large so that , the factorial term is at most because . Choose with . Since , the displayed term is at most , which is bounded by because and . Combining this with the exponential term in step 3.2 proves optimal truncation of the normalized remainder at order proportional to , with all stationary-phase coefficients retained. For the absolute remainder multiply this bound by ; no sign restriction on is imposed.
Bolker condition for a double-fibration transform
Definition
For an analytic double fibration with incidence cotangent relation , let
The double fibration satisfies the global Bolker condition if is an injective immersion. The Bolker condition holds at a specified point if the full fiber over its data covector is the singleton and is injective. Thus the pointwise condition has both a fiber-uniqueness clause, which excludes every other relation point over the same data covector even outside a chosen chart, and a local differential-rank clause.

Distributions, conormal kernels, and cotangent relations: consists of nonzero conormals with sign convention and is independent of coordinates.
Proof
Given: The incidence relation from [F2].
The relation is a smooth conic submanifold in local incidence coordinates: the conormal equations are smooth constant-rank linear equations in the covector variables, and the zero section is removed. Thus projection onto its first cotangent factor is a well-defined smooth map.
Global injectivity means that every data covector has at most one object covector paired with it; at a specified point , the corresponding fiber condition is exactly . Injectivity of the differential means that every tangent vector to mapped to zero is itself zero. Both conditions are invariant under coordinate changes because [F2] makes coordinate independent and cotangent coordinate changes are diffeomorphisms. This proves the two clauses in the definition.

Since is a submersion, its differential has rank . The tangent space of its zero level is . In finite-dimensional linear algebra, the annihilator of the kernel of a rank- linear map is the image of its transpose: inclusion follows from for , and both spaces have dimension . Hence every conormal is uniquely .
By [F1], the incidence functional is integration of a test function against a smooth density on . Complete to submersion coordinates with , using [F3]. In these coordinates its action is for a smooth coefficient . Rewriting the ambient density as and applying the ordinary change-of-variables rule gives for a smooth ; the Jacobian factor is nonzero because the coordinate map is a diffeomorphism.
The cotangent relation uses the conormal by [F1]. Substituting the formula from step 1.1 gives and , so . Since is injective, gives a nonzero conormal. This proves the displayed relation, with every sign fixed by the kernel convention.
Local analytic elliptic packet reconstruction
Statement
Work near . A normalized positive analytic packet phase is a holomorphic function on a fixed complex neighborhood of the indicated real variables, such that, for real arguments,
for some . A classical analytic amplitude is realized on each smaller complex neighborhood by
with sufficiently small fixed . Changing to a smaller positive number changes the realization by an exponentially small function on a smaller neighborhood. An elliptic amplitude has .
For a distribution localized to a sufficiently small fixed compact neighborhood of , the uniform exponential decay of
for in a neighborhood of is independent of the normalized positive phase and elliptic classical analytic amplitude. Smooth fixed cutoffs equal to one near the packet centers are understood. This criterion agrees with the Gaussian criterion with unit directions and arbitrary .
More precisely, after shrinking the parameter neighborhood , every other such packet with in a smaller has a representation
where and on the fixed localization compact, for every fixed . There is a representation in the reverse direction as well. All estimates are uniform on the stated smaller neighborhoods. Thus the inverse is an actual local operator modulo exponentially small errors, rather than just a formal inverse series.

External input — specified analytic contour operator. Sjöstrand, Singularités analytiques microlocales, Astérisque 95 (1982), §4, printed pp. 23–24, equations (4.1)–(4.4), defines the operator on weighted holomorphic germs , with analytic amplitude near and . Its real -cycle is , with sufficiently large and sufficiently small. Integrate the holomorphic volume form , with orientation chosen so its pullback is , and prefactor . The resulting kernel has Gaussian bound with loss . Changing admissible radii/contours changes the germ only by an exponentially smaller weighted germ; amplitude gives the identity in that sense. This is an external contour/operator theorem, not an inference from formal symbols alone.
External input — actual analytic composition and elliptic inverse. The same source, Theorem 1.5 (printed p. 8), Theorem 4.2 (pp. 27–28), Remark 4.3 (p. 28) and Theorem 4.5 (pp. 31–32), supplies the analytic classical inverse symbol, actual operator composition with the usual reduced-symbol formula, nonstandard holomorphic-phase changes with invertible mixed derivative, and two-sided elliptic inverse on the corresponding weighted holomorphic germs. Analytic symbols and their equivalence are those of §1 (pp. 2–5): factorial coefficient bounds, truncation proportional to , and equality modulo an exponentially smaller germ. These are imported results; the formal algebra below identifies their application but is not claimed to independently reconstruct this contour calculus.
External input — real realization and packet transition. The same source, §5, equations (5.8)–(5.10) (printed pp. 33–35), its packet-action lemma (pp. 35–36), Theorem 5.3 (pp. 36–37), and Proposition 6.2 with equations (6.3)–(6.5) (p. 38), realizes positive analytic kernels on real variables with nested compact parameter domains and smooth spatial cutoffs. “Negligible” here means that times the error kernel is bounded in for some (definition on p. 34); in particular every fixed derivative is exponentially small on the smaller fixed compact. Classical analytic ellipticity gives the actual bidirectional packet superposition of (6.3)–(6.4), with transition kernel polynomially bounded in , uniformly on the smaller packet-parameter neighborhood. The source normalization is ; our phases are its specialization , with absolute parameter Jacobian . These real realization and packet-transition results are explicitly imported. They assert no global real-variable inverse outside the nested microlocal packet neighborhoods.
Proof
Given: The data in the statement; put . Complex conjugation of the coefficients of a holomorphic germ is denoted by a star: .
We retain the formal inverse algebra needed to identify the external operator construction [F9]. For a formal holomorphic symbol , with on a fixed polydisc, define There are finitely many terms in each degree. Associativity follows directly by applying the product rule to the two triple products: splitting a multi-index contributes , which cancels its denominator and leaves identical terms. The map , with , respects this product; expansion by the product rule gives the displayed formula.
The actual contour realization is [F8], with and . In fixed-offset coordinates , its oriented volume and prefactor give the explicit formula
Here is Euclidean -dimensional measure, the phase-space cycle and its orientation are exactly those of [F8], and are fixed within the common holomorphy neighborhood. The Gaussian bound and amplitude- identity are the specified operator theorem [F8]; equivalently, for amplitude the holomorphic factor has constant Taylor coefficient and all positive-degree holomorphic monomials have zero angular integral. The remaining Gaussian tail is exponentially small in the weighted germ. For this pluriharmonic weight the fixed-offset formula is holomorphic in ; it also specifies precisely the previously implicit cycle and measure. The fixed-derivative real-localization bounds used later are [F10], rather than an assertion obtained solely from this formal identity.
Here are estimates for this formal algebra that also control its inverse. Use nested complex neighborhoods , , whose boundary separation is at least , and keep in a smaller fixed polydisc. Write , where has differential order at most . Cauchy's inequality, first in the fixed polydisc and then in , gives Indeed a term with costs at most ; , , and the number of terms is at most exponential in . For use . Let be the least admissible constant in . If , choose the intermediate radius with for the term . Then The endpoint cases use the same estimate without an intermediate loss. Consequently is submultiplicative whenever finite. Conversely , evaluated with a fixed radius loss, satisfies ; the last inequality follows by integrating from to . These estimates are on one fixed smaller neighborhood, independent of .
If , shrink so is bounded holomorphic. The formal product has and finite for small by step 2.1; decreasing makes this norm less than . Thus has finite norm, because in each degree its defining sum is finite and the geometric norm sum is at most . It follows that have factorial bounds on a fixed smaller neighborhood. This gives a right inverse. The identical construction on the other side gives a left inverse; associativity shows they agree. Truncating at realizes these symbols. A term with index has modulus at most ; for and it is at most . Two admissible truncations therefore differ by , also in every fixed derivative by [F1].
The actual composition and inverse statements invoked here are the external results [F9]–[F10]. The following calculation identifies their specialization and symbol; it is not an independent reconstruction of that analytic contour calculus. Products of these kernels are actual iterated contour integrals. All weights needed here are of this form, with the packet phase and its holomorphic critical value; thus the saddle phases used for contour comparison are holomorphic. Their composed contour is good: if the inner integration has loss and the outer one loss , their sum controls the square distance from the combined critical point, since the critical-point maps have bounded derivatives. The holomorphic Morse coordinates [F2] identify this contour and the contour obtained by doing the integrations in the other order with graphs over a common negative-definite real subspace. Such graphs have slope less than one after a linear scaling; their straight interpolation has the same positive quadratic margin on a smaller ball. Stokes therefore changes the order and reduces the composition, with exponentially small boundary errors. Taylor expansion in , followed by integration by parts in , gives the full symbol For a product this is exactly the formula in step 1.1. To estimate rather than just manipulate this expansion, apply [F3] on the good contour after its quadratic normalization. Cauchy bounds for the analytic amplitudes give for the remainder after total degree ; each of the finitely many symbol indices contributes the convolution estimates in step 2.1. Taking makes this . The actual operator consequences are supplied by [F9]–[F10]: a zero reduced symbol acts by an exponentially small operator, and the inverse symbol of step 3.1 gives an actual two-sided inverse modulo such errors. Fixed-contour local remainders and symbols are holomorphic in by the fixed-offset representation in step 1.2, so Cauchy on a further smaller neighborhood controls their fixed derivatives. Errors involving smooth spatial cutoffs or moving outer boundaries are instead differentiated by the chain rule under the fixed-parameter boundary integrals. Each of their fixed derivatives costs at most , or an additional fixed power of for a finite-order localizer with proportional to . The boundary has a fixed positive phase margin, so these polynomial losses are absorbed by reducing that margin. No Cauchy estimate is applied to a merely smooth cutoff error.
The same calculation permits a nonstandard holomorphic phase with and invertible mixed derivative at the diagonal. Indeed By [F5], is a local biholomorphism. The change of variable, including its holomorphic Jacobian, gives the standard kernel of step 1.2. A good contour for one kernel is good for the other because the exponent is identical. Ellipticity is preserved by the nonzero Jacobian. Hence the composition and inverse theorems [F9], with the symbol identification above, hold for these phases too.
For the given positive phase form the kernel Locally this is a kernel of the type just constructed. To see this, first integrate in by analytic stationary phase. At the derivative vanishes, and the imaginary part of its Hessian is positive definite because . Its critical value is zero at , and . Thus there. The resulting kernel has prefactor and a classical analytic amplitude whose leading term is a nonzero Gaussian determinant times . It is elliptic. The actual elliptic inverse theorem [F9], with the phase and symbol identified in steps 1.2, 3.1, 4.1 and 5.1, gives an analytic operator with modulo exponential errors on the appropriate holomorphic germs.
Real realization, nested-domain composition, and all fixed-derivative localization bounds are the external input [F10]. We identify its hypotheses here, preserving the local contour and cutoff calculations. Restrict to and insert a fixed smooth spatial cutoff equal to one near . Away from this diagonal, positivity supplies on the cutoff transition. When the kernel acts on a holomorphic packet , the total phase has its unique nearby critical point at , when . In a small neighborhood it satisfies the stronger contour estimate after deforming by near the diagonal. Here Taylor's formula gives an added ; , so sufficiently small proves the estimate. For complex nearby continue the critical point by [F5] and use the quadratic coordinates to deform a further , leaving the outer boundary fixed. The good-contour estimates of step 4.1 then apply uniformly. On the spatial cutoff transition the original positive margin persists; on , for , the displayed estimate supplies a fixed margin. Every swept boundary integral is consequently . For a fixed number of derivatives, its smoothly parameterized compact boundary, cutoff and phase contribute only fixed powers of and, for finite-order localizers, of . Those powers are absorbed into a smaller exponential margin. Holomorphic fixed-domain contour remainders separately have the Cauchy derivative bounds of step 4.1. If finite-order localization is needed in an integration by parts, [F4] with gives a factor at most on the nonstationary part; choose . This verifies the real realization of the compositions and of the identity on each such packet.
The packet-action lemma, Theorem 5.3 and Proposition 6.2 in [F10] supply the actual realization of this step. Applying to gives modulo exponential errors, where is a classical analytic amplitude bounded by a fixed power of . This follows from the same composition calculation, treating as a parameter and taking the weight in step 1.2; the combined critical point is the diagonal, and steps 4.1 and 7.1 give the factorial remainder on smaller fixed neighborhoods. Therefore , and its realized real-variable expression is the representation in the statement with The imaginary part of this exponent is at least for real parameters, so the compact integral is bounded by a power of , uniformly in , . Errors and cutoff transitions retain the derivative bounds of step 7.1. Pairing the representation with is legitimate by [F7]; its finite-order seminorm bound makes exponential. The integral of a uniformly exponentially small source transform times the polynomially bounded is exponential too. Interchange the two elliptic packet families to obtain the reverse implication.
Finally use the reference phase It is holomorphic on a complex neighborhood of any nonzero real , choosing the branch of positive there. Its packet with parameter is exactly the unit-direction Gaussian packet with frequency parameter and direction . On a fixed small parameter neighborhood is bounded above and below by positive constants, so the exponential criteria agree; bounded frequencies are absorbed into the constant. All amplitude and inverse constructions above involve finite sums or a uniquely determined formal recursion and its finite truncation. No choice axiom is used.

The remaining finite algebra, normalization, localization and distributional pairing calculations above are retained.

Proof
Given: The data in the statement.
If , then and the conclusion is immediate; assume . Fix a relatively compact data chart about and a compact object neighborhood with . By [F1], the incidence portion over and is compact. The portion of over it with unit data covector is compact as well. Indeed, at each incidence point the projection of its conormal fiber is injective: if , then annihilates the image of , which is all of by [F1], so . On the compact incidence portion these injective linear maps have a uniform lower bound in fixed local metrics. Thus bounds , and closedness of the normalized relation gives compactness. Write in the data chart. If no product neighborhood of were disjoint from the normalized relation, there would be relation points with data bases tending to , unit data covectors tending to , and object bases tending to . Compactness would give a limiting relation point over and some , contradicting the hypothesis after rescaling by . Hence there are neighborhoods , of , and an open neighborhood of , with , such that no relation point lies over for , , and . Choose a compact neighborhood with . The incidence portion over and is compact by [F1]. Use [F5] to cover it by finitely many analytic fiber charts for the projection to , written . In these coordinates the transpose data packet has integrals of the form where is analytic and is a data cutoff. At incidence points , . If this vanished in every fiber direction, then would annihilate the vertical tangent of and extend to a nonzero conormal of ; the submersion hypotheses ensure both components are nonzero. This would be a relation point over , excluded by the neighborhoods just chosen.
On the compact incidence portion over and , the no-relation property from step 1.1 gives a positive lower bound for when and ranges over smaller compactly contained neighborhoods of . By continuity, shrink the data chart, direction neighborhood and fiber charts so this lower bound persists whenever is sufficiently small. A finite refinement therefore gives the uniform alternative on each piece, for in a neighborhood of and near the supplied data point: either , or one fiber coordinate satisfies . The first pieces have Gaussian exponential decay in every fixed object derivative. For the second pieces shrink the analytic neighborhoods so is holomorphic and has uniform factorial derivative bounds by [F4]. The data cutoff can be chosen equal to one on the central data neighborhood. Its transition contributes only pieces of the first type, so it is never differentiated to an order growing with in the second estimate.
For integration by parts choose finite-order localizers in the finitely many refined fiber charts. They can form an exact partition near the incidence compact without reciprocal derivatives: if are the cutoffs in [F3], take . At every point of the compact at least one is identically one on a fixed neighborhood. Hence there. There are a fixed finite number of factors; the product rule gives for . Extend the construction to a fixed slightly larger compact in the incidence charts, so all object derivatives through any fixed order preserve the exact partition identity near . Use the sequence indexed by .
On a nonstationary piece use , so . There are no boundary terms because the localizers have compact support in the chart. After integrations by parts the integrand is . The factorial coefficient bounds and the product rule give for . To obtain the first bound, expand each adjoint as a first-order derivative plus its differentiated analytic coefficient; induction distributes derivatives to the localizer and bounds the remaining analytic derivatives by . In the second bound use and . The bounded integration volumes and leave the same bound for the integral. Applying object derivatives first adds at most a fixed power of and ; the same induction with gives . Fix this and take with . The result is .
The transpose packet coefficient is independent of because the partition is exact near the support. Summing the finitely many estimates in steps 2.1 and 4.1 proves the asserted estimate on a fixed neighborhood of . Take to be the finite distributional order in [F2] and pair with . It follows that the data Gaussian FBI pairing of is uniformly exponentially small. The definition of analytic wavefront gives the conclusion. This proof uses neither an unproved wavefront pushforward theorem nor a compact analytic bump.
Analytic cutoff sequence and local FBI invariance
Statement
Let be a compactly supported distribution or a compactly supported distributional density on a real-analytic manifold. In each analytic chart use the Gaussian FBI packets of the preceding definition, paired with test densities in the first case and test functions in the second. The exponential-decay criterion is independent of the compact cutoff that equals one near the base point. It is also equivalent after an analytic chart change, with covectors transformed by the cotangent differential, and after replacing the standard Gaussian packets by their analytic pullbacks under that chart change. The latter equivalence is asserted only for the local packet and chart changes used on this page; it is the analytic-wavefront invariance needed to interpret the set geometrically.

Local analytic elliptic packet reconstruction proves bidirectional equivalence for normalized positive analytic phases and elliptic analytic amplitudes, including actual inverse and fixed-order exponentially small localization errors.
Proof
Given: The data in the statement.
Fix one real-analytic chart and two smooth cutoffs that both equal one on a neighborhood of the base point. Choose a smaller center neighborhood and a compact support neighborhood so that whenever and . By continuity in the fixed-support topology [F3], in either distributional type the pairing is bounded by times the maximum of finitely many derivatives of its test object; a coordinate density factor, when present, has bounded derivatives on the compact chart support. Those derivatives of are bounded by uniformly for , directions near , and . Since a polynomial times is bounded by for any fixed , replacing one fixed-chart cutoff by the other changes the FBI packet by an exponentially small term.
Let be an analytic chart change. After shrinking to nested compact neighborhoods, and is invertible uniformly. The pulled-back packet has phase It is holomorphic after complexification, vanishes at , and has derivative there. First [F6] allows to range over a bounded open ball about its nonzero reference direction: its reference phase is exactly the unit-direction packet with parameter , and [F6] equates this phase to the Gaussian of width on that open ball. Apply the same reference criterion in the new chart before pulling its packets back. We may therefore reparameterize the open frequency ball by ; this is an analytic local diffeomorphism of open frequency parameters and is precisely the cotangent rule. The phase is now normalized and positive in the sense of [F6]. The Jacobian amplitude for scalar distributions is analytic and nonzero: the sign of the real determinant is constant on the smaller connected chart, so its absolute value has an analytic continuation. For distributional densities the amplitude is .
Thus the exponential-decay criterion is independent of the fixed-chart cutoff. The finite-order sequence [F2] supplies the uniform localizers required when a distribution is restricted to a smaller chart; it avoids any use of compactly supported analytic bumps. For a distributional density in the fixed chart, define the scalar distribution by . Continuity follows from [F3], and the vanishing-open sets of and agree because is nowhere zero, so their supports agree. The packet pairings agree by definition. Hence [F4]–[F5] give the local Euclidean tempered and smooth-function realizations for either distributional type. This proves the cutoff and localization clauses without a choice axiom.
Apply [F6] to the standard and pulled-back packets on the smaller neighborhoods. It supplies actual transition representations in both directions, with polynomially bounded transition kernels and errors exponentially small in every fixed derivative; the finite distributional order from [F3] therefore preserves their exponential size after pairing. The known exponential estimate on the source parameter neighborhood transfers to the target one. Swapping the two families gives the converse. Step 1.1 removes all fixed cutoff choices, and step 2.1 covers both distributional conventions. This proves every invariance clause in the statement, with the exact cotangent transformation from step 1.2.

Proof
Given: The parameterization .
A tangent vector to at has the form A pair annihilates every such tangent vector exactly when and . This follows by setting and then varying arbitrarily. Thus all conormal pairs, except the zero pair, are parameterized by . The rank condition on makes this conormal parameterization smooth.
Under this parameterization, the left projection sends to , as stated. Because the first component is retained, two points in this chart portion have the same left image exactly when their coordinates agree and their values under agree. This proves the chart-portion injectivity criterion; it says nothing about a second preimage outside this chart.
A tangent vector in the kernel of the differential of the left projection has . Differentiating the defining equation along gives Differentiating its output gives the second displayed equation in the statement. Therefore the differential is injective exactly when the simultaneous system has only the zero solution. This is the asserted rank test, and by [F2] it is precisely the local immersion clause of Bolker.

Multiply by a compact smooth cutoff equal to one near and supported where the one-sided hypothesis holds. It remains supported in , and the wavefront hypothesis is unchanged by exponential Gaussian tail estimates. Denote this compact distribution again by and put This is entire by [F3]. A finite distributional derivative order gives the following bound on every fixed bounded complex set: where . To justify the sharp half-space bound for a distribution, insert a smooth factor that is one for and zero for . It equals one on a neighborhood of the support, so does not change the pairing. Its derivatives of each fixed order cost only a power of . On its support, , and gives the bound with in place of . Their difference is uniformly for bounded , so it changes the exponential by a bounded factor. Gaussian derivatives contribute another fixed power of . This proves the displayed bound using the ordinary fixed-support distributional seminorm, without assuming an estimate on the exact support set.
We record the elementary quantitative continuation used in the left half-plane. If a holomorphic is bounded by on a disk of radius and by on the concentric disk of radius , then on the disk of radius , For the annulus compare with the harmonic function that is on the inner circle and on the outer circle. This comparison follows from [F2]: near any hypothetical positive interior maximum of their difference, subtract a local harmonic conjugate and apply the maximum modulus principle; a small strict harmonic perturbation excludes a non-strict maximum, then let that perturbation decrease to zero. Zeros of cannot be positive maxima. Chaining finitely many overlapping disks contained in the connected left half-plane propagates a strictly positive exponent from the initial disk to any chosen compact subset there. To make the finite chain explicit, cover a polygonal path from the initial disk to the compact set by equal small disks whose doubled disks lie in the half-plane, take successive center distances less than one quarter of the radius, and iterate the displayed estimate. The exponent is multiplied by finitely many positive radius ratios.
Write . The identity and [F1] imply that absence of either normal gives in a fixed complex neighborhood of for some . The use of [F1] here is only to let range over an open ball about , rather than the unit sphere. Fix a small neighborhood of and treat as a parameter. For each such the holomorphic function of one variable satisfies on bounded rectangles. On one small disk lying in near it satisfies : in this regularity estimate the additional exponent is , which is less than after shrinking that disk. Constants are uniform in .
Divide by its uniform polynomial bound . In the left half-plane this quotient has modulus at most . Step 1.2 gives such that on the segment , , it is at most , after decreasing and taking large. The same construction works whether the initial disk is near or ; both lie in the same connected left half-plane neighborhood joined by a bounded path to this segment. All paths, rectangles and constants can be fixed uniformly for the chosen parameters.
Extend to the rectangle , , where will be small. For define This is harmonic, nonnegative in the rectangle, zero on the top, bottom and right sides, and between zero and one on its left side. For , the global bound in step 2.1 and the left-side improvement give, by [F2] with a harmonic conjugate of , On the left the proposed upper bound is at least , and on the other three sides it is , so all boundary inequalities hold. At , for sufficiently small , with fixed . Choose so . Continuity then gives a fixed disk about on which for some . This is the needed strict improvement across the boundary.
For real in a sufficiently small neighborhood of , the exponential factors defining give . On this real neighborhood the normalized Gaussian convolutions converge distributionally to . For completeness, after pairing with a compact test , Fubini for a compact distribution and a rapidly decreasing Gaussian writes the pairing as , where has mass one. Every fixed derivative of tends uniformly to zero on the support compact: split the integral into , where uniform continuity controls the translated derivative, and , where the Gaussian tail tends to zero; the same argument bounds the derivatives outside the test support. Thus [F3] proves the asserted distributional convergence. The exponential bound makes its limit zero for tests in the smaller neighborhood, so there. Reflecting interchanges the half-spaces and interchanges the two normal orientations. Both claims follow without a reality assumption on .

We make the exact packet resolution explicit, without importing a Fourier inversion theorem with an additional choice assumption. In , set Then, with the frequency integral interpreted by the indicated Gaussian regularization, in distributions. Indeed the integral is , by completing the square and the Gaussian contour formula [F4]. The integral is . Including the squared normalization, their product is a Gaussian kernel in with mass tending to as and width tending to . Pairing against a compact test, each fixed derivative converges uniformly on the support of : split into a small translation neighborhood controlled by uniform continuity and its Gaussian tail. Thus [F1] justifies the distributional limit. The limiting normalization is exactly one, as also follows by multiplying and by the squared packet constant. Applying this identity on data space, or directly transposing the incidence integral, gives the same object kernel as direct transposition of the incidence integral.
The paired map is a submersion. Here is a local linear-algebra proof. On , the one-form vanishes by the conormal equations; hence its differential also vanishes. The tangent space of therefore is isotropic for the nondegenerate bilinear alternating form . Its dimension is , half the ambient dimension, so equals its alternating orthogonal complement. If were a proper subspace, the nondegenerate form would give a nonzero vector orthogonal to it. Then would be orthogonal to , hence in , and would lie in the kernel of . This contradicts injectivity. Thus is onto. The argument uses only the matrix criterion for an alternating form to be nondegenerate and the dimension formula for its orthogonal complement. By [F3], has a local analytic section onto an open neighborhood of .
Pair with the data Gaussian and use the typed transpose in [F1]. Up to the harmless unit factor its object kernel is The analytic coefficient is nowhere zero by [F2] and the fiber-coordinate Jacobian. Data and fiber cutoffs are one near the base incidence point. Their transition pieces have after shrinking ; their integrals are in every fixed object derivative by the finite-order distribution estimates and the Gaussian factor. Properness ensures the remaining relevant incidence portion is compact, so finitely many such estimates suffice. A fixed fiber cutoff can therefore be inserted without changing the formula except for these errors.
For real there is a unique nearby real with . At this point by step 1.1. Put , , evaluated there. Its complex Hessian is where is real symmetric and is injective. This matrix is invertible: if , the imaginary part of is , forcing . Apply [F6] to the map retaining and replacing by ; it gives a unique nearby complex critical point for all nearby complex . Shrink the original fiber neighborhood so it contains no other critical point: outside a small ball about , continuity and the injectivity of the local coordinate chart preserve a positive lower bound for the phase gradient or for . Define .
We prove its strict object positivity directly, rather than assume a positivity property of a formal stationary phase. At the full Hessian in is a complex symmetric matrix For a real object variation , let be the complex solution of the stationary linearized equation . Write and . The real part of the stationary equation gives . Therefore This is precisely by differentiating the critical-point identity. If it is zero, injectivity of gives , and . The remaining stationary equation is . These two equations say that is a tangent variation of the conormal equations and has . By injectivity of it is zero, so . Compactness of the real unit sphere now gives a strictly positive lower bound for , uniform for in a smaller compact neighborhood in .
The critical-value and derivative identities are The imaginary part and its first object derivative vanish there. Taylor's integral formula and the strict Hessian bound in step 3.1 therefore give for real nearby. This fixes the sign for the FBI pairing: the test function has derivative , while the distributional covector detected is .
Apply analytic stationary phase at the complex critical point in step 2.3. Its applicability here includes uniform contour and remainder estimates as follows. At the base real parameters the real contour has positive quadratic imaginary part ; its outer boundary has a fixed positive imaginary margin by step 2.2. For nearby parameters move the interior contour through using the holomorphic quadratic coordinates in [F4], keeping the boundary fixed. In those coordinates the contour remains a graph whose Gaussian real part is bounded below by a fixed positive quadratic form, by openness of positive definiteness. Interpolate to its linear tangent contour as in the Gaussian-contour proof; the cubic error is dominated after shrinking the fixed ball. Stokes deformation consequently has a fixed exponential boundary margin. Cauchy bounds for the amplitude and the inverse coordinate map are uniform on smaller complex parameter neighborhoods. Applying the normalized remainder in [F4] with gives The leading coefficient of is on the fixed analytic branch. At the critical point is the real , where the density coefficient and Hessian determinant are nonzero; continuity and holomorphy therefore make this coefficient elliptic on a smaller neighborhood. Its coefficients have uniform factorial bounds. For real parameters , so normalized exponential errors also give absolute exponential errors. For fixed object derivatives take a smaller complex neighborhood where is less than half the boundary/remainder margin and apply Cauchy; the cutoff transition pieces already have the corresponding finite-order real derivative bounds. Hence in every fixed object derivative as claimed.
Suppose the data Gaussian criterion holds. By [F5], its unit-direction formulation is equivalent to the Gaussian packet with in an open ball about the supplied nonzero data covector; positive radial frequency scaling only changes the exponential constant. Thus the data Gaussian pairings used in step 2.2 are uniformly exponentially small on an open parameter neighborhood. Pair the formula in step 5.1 with ; its finite order absorbs the errors. Multiply by , whose modulus on real parameters is only polynomial. Pull back by the analytic section from step 2.1. The resulting object test phase vanishes at , has derivative there and imaginary part at least . Its amplitude is elliptic by step 5.1. Thus [F5] converts this exponential estimate into the Gaussian criterion at . All input support here is in the chosen local object neighborhood, and every tail and inverse error has been estimated before pairing with the distribution. This proves the local implication.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The real-analytic manifold , a hypersurface through , a distribution , one-sided vanishing, and the stated analytic-wavefront hypothesis.
Distributions, conormal kernels, and cotangent relations: distributions are continuous functionals on compactly supported smooth densities, so localization to a chart is defined.
Support of a distribution: the support is the complement of the largest open set on which the distribution vanishes.
Both analytic normal directions at a flat support boundary: a distribution supported in a closed half-space at a support point has both oriented normal covectors in its Gaussian analytic wavefront set.
The Euclidean inverse function theorem supplies the local inverse used to put the hypersurface in graph form; differentiating the inverse identity preserves its regularity.
Analytic cutoff sequence and local FBI invariance: analytic coordinate changes preserve the Gaussian criterion with its cotangent transformation.
Proof
Given: The data in the statement.
Work in an analytic ambient chart centered at . The hypersurface remains in that chart, since changing from its given smooth chart is a smooth diffeomorphism. A real linear coordinate change makes its tangent plane nonvertical. The implicit graph theorem then writes it as , with of class : the inverse of a map with invertible derivative is , by differentiating the identity for its inverse twice. Translate to have . Shrink to a convex ball on which . Taylor's integral formula gives Both supporting quadratics are real analytic and have the same differential as at .
Suppose first that vanishes on the strict subgraph of . Its local support lies in , hence in . The analytic shear has analytic inverse , determinant , and sends this latter closed side into . If instead vanishes on the strict epigraph, its support lies in and use the corresponding analytic shear with . In either case the pulled-back normal at is , a nonzero scalar multiple of the supplied conormal . This flattens an analytic supporting quadratic; it does not flatten the original graph analytically.
If already vanishes near , there is nothing to prove. Otherwise by [F2]. Localize inside the chart. Under the appropriate shear, [F3] then puts both and in the analytic wavefront set at the origin. By [F4] these are exactly both conormal orientations at , up to positive frequency scaling. Either absence hypothesis in the statement contradicts this conclusion. Thus near . Every construction used finite-dimensional coordinates and explicit quadratics; it introduces no choice assumption.
Analytic wavefront recovery under Bolker

Statement references
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The analytic transform , the relation point with singleton full left fiber and injective left differential, and compactly supported with the stated data analytic regularity.
Analytic double-fibration transform and canonical relation: the transform is properly supported on compact object supports and has a nowhere vanishing analytic incidence density and weight.
Bolker condition for a double-fibration transform: the pointwise condition gives the entire singleton left fiber and injective differential at this point.
Analytic incidence localization away from a data cotangent fiber: input support with no incidence cotangent relation over the supplied data covector has an exponentially small data Gaussian transform, with finite-order distributional estimates.
Local Bolker incidence packets have a positive reduced phase: for distributions supported sufficiently near the supplied object point, data Gaussian regularity implies object Gaussian regularity, by the exact packet resolution, reduced positive phase, estimated stationary phase and elliptic packet criterion.
Analytic cutoff sequence and local FBI invariance: the Gaussian criterion is independent of local cutoff and analytic chart and applies to distributional densities as well as scalar distributions.
Proof
Given: The data in the statement.
Choose a smooth compact object cutoff equal to one near and supported in the small object neighborhood supplied by [F4]. Write . The second summand is compactly supported away from . By [F2] its support has no relation point over , because that full fiber consists of the supplied point over . Hence [F3] gives . This includes all incidence points outside the local coordinate patch; it is not inferred merely from local injectivity.
By hypothesis the Gaussian data transform of is exponentially small on some data parameter neighborhood. Subtract the exponential estimate from step 1.1, using the same data chart and a common smaller cutoff neighborhood by [F5]. Linearity gives the same estimate for at the supplied data covector. The differential clause of [F2] supplies the local Bolker hypothesis in [F4]. Since is supported in its chosen small object neighborhood, [F4] yields .
The localized distributions and agree on a neighborhood of . Their Gaussian transforms with any common cutoff supported there agree exactly; all other cutoff choices differ only by the exponential Gaussian tails in [F5]. Thus step 2.1 gives , as asserted. The two suppliers account separately for global fiber uniqueness and local differential injectivity, and all errors are controlled in the finite number of derivatives needed by the compact distribution. No stability or choice assumption has been added.

Analytic wavefront recovery under Bolker: if the data covector is absent from under pointwise Bolker, then the paired object covector is absent from .
One-sided support forces its analytic conormal wavefront: one-sided vanishing plus absence of either oriented analytic conormal implies local vanishing.
Analytic wavefront set by Gaussian FBI packets: exponential decay of the localized Gaussian FBI pairings is the criterion for absence from .
Proof
Given: The data in the statement.
Choose a data cutoff supported inside the neighborhood on which and equal to one near . Its localized FBI test functions are supported where the distribution vanishes, so all the pairings are exactly zero for every frequency. By [F4], this gives .
By [F2], step 1.1 gives . Applying the one-sided continuation implication [F3] then gives near . All their hypotheses hold: the relation point has pointwise Bolker, has compact support, and the same nonzero object covector is a conormal to the supplied hypersurface.
