In this paper we prove a well-posedness result for the Cauchy problem. We study a class of first order hyperbolic differential [2] operators of rank zero on an involutive submanifold of$T$^{*}$R$^{$n$+1}-{0} and prove that under suitable assumptions on the symmetrizability of the lifting of the principal symbol to a natural blow up of the “singular part” of the characteristic set, the operator is strongly hyperbolic.

Let$α$_{1},$α$_{2},…,$α$_{$m$}be linear forms defined on ℂ^{$n$}and $\mathcal{X}=\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus\bigcup_{i=1}^{m}V(\alpha_{i})$ , where$V$($α$_{$i$})={$p$∈ℂ^{$n$}$:$$α$_{$i$}($p$)=0}. The coordinate ring $O_{\mathcal{X}}$ of $\mathcal{X}$ is a holonomic$A$_{$n$}-module, where$A$_{$n$}is the$n$th Weyl algebra and since holonomic$A$_{$n$}-modules have finite length, $O_{\mathcal{X}}$ has finite length. We consider a “twisted” variant of this$A$_{$n$}-module which is also holonomic. Define M_{$α$}^{$β$}to be the free rank-1 ℂ[$x$]_{$α$}-module on the generator$α$^{$β$}(thought of as a multivalued function), where $\alpha^{\beta}=\alpha_{1}^{\beta_{1}},\ldots,\alpha_{m}^{\beta_{m}}$ and the multi-index$β$=($β$_{1},…,$β$_{$m$})∈ℂ^{$m$}. Our main result is the computation of the number of decomposition factors of M_{$α$}^{$β$}and their description when$n$=2.

We consider second order elliptic divergence form systems with complex measurable coefficients$A$that are independent of the transversal coordinate, and prove that the set of$A$for which the boundary value problem with$L$_{2}Dirichlet or Neumann data is well posed, is an open set. Furthermore we prove that these boundary value problems are well posed when$A$is either Hermitean, block or constant. Our methods apply to more general systems of partial differential equations and as an example we prove perturbation results for boundary value problems for differential forms.
