Petrovsky lacuna

Petrovsky lacuna

In mathematics, a Petrovsky lacuna, named for the Russian mathematician I. G. Petrovsky, is a region where the fundamental solution of a linear hyperbolic partial differential equation vanishes. They were studied by harvtxt|Petrovsky|1945 who found topological conditions for their existence.

Petrovsky's work was generalized and updated by harvs|txt|last1=Atiyah|last2=Bott|last3=Garding|year1= 1970|year2=1973.
