... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...
