Fourier integral operators algebra and fundamental solutions to hyperbolic systems with polynomially bounded coefficients on R^n

We study the composition of an arbitrary number of Fourier integral operators $A_j$, $j=1,\dots,M$, $M\ge 2$, defined through symbols belonging to the so-called SG classes. We give conditions ensuring that the composition $A_1\circ\cdots\circ A_M$ of such operators still belongs to the same class. Through this, we are then able to show well-posedness in weighted Sobolev spaces for first order hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations with coefficients in SG classes, by constructing the associated fundamental solutions.
