Abstract

We discuss the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for noneffectively hyperbolic operators assuming that the spectral structure of the Hamilton map changes across a submanifold of codimension 1 of the double characteristic manifold. Under the assumption that there is no null bicharacteristic tangent to the submanifold where the spectral transition occurs, we derive microlocal a priori estimates assuming the strict Ivrii-Petkov-Hörmander condition.
