Abstract
We study asymptotic expansion as for integrals over of quotients F(x,y)\big{/}\big{(}(x\cdot y)^{2}+(\nu\Gamma(x,y))^{2}\big{)}, where is strictly positive and decays at infinity sufficiently fast. Integrals of this kind appear in description of the four–waves interactions.
1 Introduction
Our concern is the integrals
[TABLE]
Such integrals and their singular limits appear in physical works on the four-waves interaction, where the latter is suggested as a mechanism, dictating the long-time behaviour of solutions for nonlinear Hamiltonian PDEs with cubic nonlinearities and large values of the space-period. Usually the integrals appear there in an implicit form, and become visible as a result of rigorous mathematical analysis of the objects and constructions, involved in the heuristic physical argument (see below in this section).
We denote , , and assume that and are –smooth real functions, satisfying 222For example, , , and is a Schwartz function.
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Here are any real constants such that
[TABLE]
As usual we denote .
The main difficulty in the study of comes from the vicinity of the quadric . The latter has a locus at and is smooth outside it. Firstly we will study near [math], next – near the smooth part of the quadric, , and finally will combine the results obtained to get the main result of this work:
Theorem 1.1**.**
As , the integral has the following asymptotic:
[TABLE]
Here is the volume element on and where
[TABLE]
The integral in (1.5) converges absolutely, and the constant depends on and .
The integral in (1.5) may be regarded as integrating of the function against a measure in , supported by , which we will denote (here is the delta–function of the hypersurface ). For any real number let be the space of continuous functions on with finite norm . By (1.2) and (1.3), , where .
Proposition 1.2**.**
The measure is an atomlesss -finite Borel measure on . The integrating over it defines a continuous linear functional on the space if .
Since any function satisfies (1.2) for every , then we have
Corollary 1.3**.**
Let a –function meets (1.3) with some . Then the function {\nu}/{\big{(}(x\cdot y)^{2}+(\nu\Gamma(x,y))^{2}\big{)}} converges to the measure as , in the space of distributions.
The theorem and the proposition are proved below in Sections 2–4.
In the mentioned above works from the non-linear physics, to describe the long-time behaviour of solutions for nonlinear Hamiltonian PDEs with cubic nonlinearities, physicists derived nonlinear kinetic equations, called the (four-) wave kinetic equations. The -th component of the kinetic kernel () for such equation is given by an integral of the following form:
[TABLE]
Here is the delta-function and is the delta-function , where is the spectrum of oscillations for the linearised at zero equation. If the corresponding nonlinear PDE is the cubic NLS equation, then . In this case the two delta-functions define the following algebraic set:
[TABLE]
see [5], p.91, and [3]. Excluding using the first relation we write the second as . Or , if we denote , . That is, is given by an integral over the set as in (1.5). In a work in progress (see [4]) we make an attempt to derive rigorously a wave kinetic equation for NLS with added small dissipation and small random force (see [3, 4] for a discussion of this model). On this way nonlinearities of the form (1.7) appear naturally as limits for of certain integrals of the form (1.1), where, again, , . 333So the integrand depends on the parameter . This dependence should be controlled, which can be done with some extra efforts. We strongly believe that more asymptotical expansions of integrals, similar to (1.1), will appear when more works on rigorous justification of physical methods to treat nonlinear waves will come out.
Proof of Theotem 1.1, given below in Sections 2–4, is rather general and applies to other integrals with singular divisors. Some of these applications are discussed in Section 5.
Notation. By we denote the characteristic function of a set . For an integral and a submanifold , dim, compact or not (if , then is an open domain in ) we write

2 Integral over the vicinity of [math].
For consider the domain
[TABLE]
and the integral
[TABLE]
Obviously, everywhere in , and So the integral is bounded by , where
[TABLE]
We write as
[TABLE]
Let us introduce in the –space a coordinate system with the first basis vector , where . Since the volume of the layer, lying in the ball above an infinitesimal segment is and since , then
[TABLE]
So
[TABLE]
Thus we have proved
Lemma 2.1**.**
The integral (2.1) is bounded by
Now we pass to the global study of the integral (1.1) and begin with studying the geometry of the manifold and its vicinity in .
3 The manifold and its vicinity.
The set is a smooth submanifold of of dimension . Let be a local coordinate on with the coordinate mapping . Abusing notation we write . The vector is a normal to at of length , and
[TABLE]
For any we denote
[TABLE]
and for denote by the dilation operator
[TABLE]
It preserves , and for any we denote by the point
Lemma 3.1**.**
1) There exists such that for any a suitable neighbourhood of in may be uniquely parametrised as
[TABLE]
*where .
- For any vector its length equals*
[TABLE]
*The distance from to equals , and the shortest path from to is the segment .
-
If is such that , then , where and .

If , then*
[TABLE]
5) If , then for some .
The coordinates (3.3) are known as the normal coordinates, and their existence follows easily from the implicit function theorem. The assertion 1) is a bit more precise than the general result since it specifies the size of the neighbourhood .
Proof.
- Fix any positive . Then for small enough it is well known that the points with and form a neighbourhood of in and parametrise it in a unique and smooth way. Besides, any point such that dist, may be represented as
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
We may assume that The mapping sends to and sends \pi\big{(}\Sigma^{1+\kappa}_{1-\kappa}\times(-\theta_{0},\theta_{0})\big{)} to \pi\big{(}\Sigma^{t+t\kappa}_{t-t\kappa}\times(-\theta_{0},\theta_{0})\big{)}. This implies that the set , defined as a collection of all points as in (3.3), makes a neighbourhood of . To prove that the parametrisation is unique assume that it is not. Then there exist , and such that . So , where
[TABLE]
and . Let us write as . If , then by what was said above. If , then . Since
[TABLE]
then . Decreasing if needed, we achieve that , so . Contradiction.
-
The first assertion holds since by (3.1) the vector is orthogonal to and since its norm equals . The second assertion holds since the segment is a geodesic from to , orthogonal to . Any other geodesic from to must be a segment , , orthogonal to . It is longer than . To prove this, by scaling (i.e. by applying a delation operator), we reduce the problem to the case . Now, if , then for some real number . So by (3.7), , which is a contradiction. While if , then the distance from to is bigger than . Indeed, if , then the distance is bigger than The case is similar.
-
If , then the assertion follows from (3.6) and (3.4). If , we apply the operator and use the result with .
-
Follows immediately from (3.1).
-
If , then the assertion with some follows from the compactness of . If , then again we apply and use the result with . ∎
Let as fix any , and consider the manifold . Below we provide it with some additional structures and during the corresponding constructions decrease , if needed. Consider the set . It equals
[TABLE]
Since the differentials of the two relations, defining , are independent on , then this set is a smooth compact submanifold of of codimension 2. Let us cover it by some finite system of charts , . Denote by the volume element on , induced from , and denote the coordinate maps as . We will write points of both as and .
The mapping
[TABLE]
is 1-1 and is a local diffeomorphism; so this is a global diffeomorphism. Accordingly, we can cover by the charts , with the coordinate maps
[TABLE]
and can apply Lemma 3.1, taking for the coordinates . In these coordinates the volume element on is . Since is a vector of unit length, perpendicular to ,444as and .
then the volume element on is
[TABLE]
The coordinates with , where , make coordinate systems on the open set . Since the vectors and form an orthonormal base of the orthogonal complement in to ,555Since the vector is perpendicular to and lies in , and is proportional to the vector , normal to at .
then in the volume element may be written as
[TABLE]
For the transformation multiplies the form in the l.h.s. by , preserves and , and multiplies by . Hence, does not depend on , and we have got
Lemma 3.2**.**
The coordinates
[TABLE]
and , define on coordinate systems, jointly covering . In these coordinates the dilations , , reed as
[TABLE]
and the volume element has the form (3.9), where does not depend on .
Besides, since at a point we have , then in view of (1.2), (1.3)
[TABLE]
for and for all .
For we denote
[TABLE]
In a chart (3.10) this domain is .
4 Global study of the integral (1.1)
4.1 Desintegration of
Using (3.9), for any we write the integral \langle I_{\nu},\big{(}\Sigma^{nbh}\big{)}^{R_{2}}_{R_{1}}\rangle as
[TABLE]
where by (3.5)
[TABLE]
To study we write as
[TABLE]
The function is -smooth, and in view of (3.11) and (1.3) it satisfies
[TABLE]
Denoting
[TABLE]
we write as
[TABLE]
Since , then in view of (4.2) the mapping
[TABLE]
is a –diffeomorphism on its image such that and the -norms of and are bounded by a constant, independent from (to achieve that, if needed, we decrease ). Denote
[TABLE]
Then if is small, and
[TABLE]
Denote the nominator of the integrand as . This is a –smooth function, and by (3.11) and (4.2) it satisfies
[TABLE]
Moreover, since and , then in view of (3.9) we have that
[TABLE]
Consider the interval . Then
[TABLE]
for all and . Now we modify the neighbourhood to
[TABLE]
Then
[TABLE]
The modified analogy of the integral has the same form as , but the domain of integrating becomes not , but . Then
[TABLE]
To estimate , consider first the integral , obtained from by frozening at :
[TABLE]
(we use (4.3)). From here
[TABLE]
As for , then also
[TABLE]
if
[TABLE]
Now we estimate the difference between and . We have:
[TABLE]
Since each –norm of , , is bounded by , then
[TABLE]
where . From here
[TABLE]
Denote
[TABLE]
Then, jointly with (4.6), the last estimate tell us that
[TABLE]
4.2 Proof of Theorem 1.1
We have to distinguish the cases and .
Let . Then by (1.3) assumption (4.7) holds if (where depends on ). Integrating and with respect to the measure and using (4.9), (4.1) and (1.4) we get that
[TABLE]
(for the quantity see (1.6)). In view of (4.8) and Lemma 2.1 with ,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and by (3.8)
[TABLE]
This gives us asymptotic description as of the integral (1.1), calculated over the vicinity of . It remains to estimate the integral over the complement to . But this is easy: by (4.4),
[TABLE]
By item 5) of Lemma 3.1 the divisor of the integrand is . Due to this and (1.2), the second term in the r.h.s. is bounded by
[TABLE]
This estimate and Lemma 2.1 with imply that
[TABLE]
Now relations (4.10), (4.11), (4.13), (4.14) imply (1.5), while (3.8) and (4.12) imply that the integral in (1.5) converges absolutely.
Let . Then condition (4.6) holds if
[TABLE]
Accordingly, the term in the l.h.s. of (4.10) should be split in two. The first corresponds to the integrating from to and estimates exactly as before. The second is
[TABLE]
To bound it we estimate the norm of the difference of the two integrals via the sum of their norms. In view of (4.5) and (4.8) both of them are bounded by
[TABLE]
So
[TABLE]
since .
Adding this relation to (4.10), applied to the integrating from to , and – as before – using this jointly with (4.11), (4.13), (4.14), we again get (1.5) (while the absolute convergence of the integral still follows from (4.12)). ∎
4.3 Proof of Proposition 1.2
For any let us denote by and the ball and the set , and consider the measure . This is a well defined Borel measure on and on . As , the measures weakly converge to a limit. This is the restriction of the measure to , and its further restriction to equals . So is a –additive Borel measure on , and it has no atoms outside the origin. Let us abbreviate By (3.8), for any and ,
[TABLE]
From here and the weak convergence of the measures to we get that if , so has no atom in the origin and is atomless. Next, for any function we have
[TABLE]
if . This proves the proposition.
5 Other integrals
The geometrical approach to treat integrals (1.1), developed above, applies to various modifications of these integrals. Below we briefly discuss three more examples.
5.1 Integrals (1.1) with
The restriction was imposed in the previous sections since in the one-dimensional case some integrals, involved in the construction, strongly diverge at the locus of the quadric . This problem disappears if the function vanishes near the locus. Indeed, consider
[TABLE]
where vanishes near the origin. The quadric is one dimensional, has a singularity at the origin, and its smooth part has four connected components. Consider one of them: Now the coordinate is a point in with and with the normal , the set is the single point and the coordinate in the vicinity of degenerates to , , , with the coordinate-map . The relations (3.8) and (3.9) are now obvious, and the integral (2.1) vanishes if is sufficiently small. Interpreting as a complex number, we write the assertion of Theorem 1.1 as
[TABLE]
where the integral is a contour integral in the complex plane.
5.2 Integrals of quotients with divisors, linear in .
Consider
[TABLE]
Now there is no need to separate the integral over the vicinity of the origin, and we just split to an integral over and over its complement.
To calculate we observe that an analogy of is the integral
[TABLE]
which equals . So The integral over the complement to is
[TABLE]
as (the integral in the r.h.s. is regular). In difference with (1.1) the last integral is of the same order as the integral over . So we have that
[TABLE]
in agreement with the estimate (6.4), applied to (5.1).
5.3 Integrals, coming from the three-waves interaction
The three-waves interacting systems lead to integrals, similar to (1.7), where is replaced by and the -factor is replaced by , which gives rise to the algebraic set
[TABLE]
(see [5], Section 6). I.e., , where . Accordingly, in the variable some constructions from the study of the three-waves interaction lead to the integrals
[TABLE]
with . Now the quadric is a sphere, i.e. a smooth compact manifold. Denoting by a local coordinate on with a coordinate mapping and the volume form we see that, similar to Section 3, the local coordinate in the vicinity of is , , with the coordinate mapping and the volume form , . The proof in Sections 2–4 simplifies and leads to the asymptotic
[TABLE]
valid for -functions and , satisfying some mild restriction.
