<p>Let X,Y be smooth manifolds and let $f:X \to C^{-\infty}(Y)$ be a continuous map, where $ C^{-\infty}(Y)$ is the space of generalized functions on $Y$ equipped with the weak topology. By Schwartz kernel theorem, this gives us a generalized function $\xi_f$ on $X \times Y$. Do you know any reference for this construction and its properties? </p> <p>Specifically, what is the relationship between this construction and the wave front set? For example, if we know the wave front set of $\xi_f$, it seems that we can bound the wave front set of $f(x)$. Is it written anywhere?</p> <p>In general, it is reasonable to say that the restriction of $\xi_f$ to ${x}\times Y$ is $f(y)$. On the other hand there another is a notion of restriction (or more generally pull back) of a distribution (see Hormander The analysis of Linear PD operators I, Theorem 8.2.4 ). Do you know any reference for the fact that those to notions coincide whenever both are defined?</p>
