Résumé

We will present a unique continuation result for solutions of second order differential equations of real principal type $P (x, D) u + V (x) u = 0$ with critical potential $V$ in $L^{n / 2}$ (where $n$ is the number of variables) across non-characteristic pseudo-convex hypersurfaces. To obtain unique continuation we prove $L^{p}$ Carleman estimates, this is achieved by constructing a parametrix for the operator conjugated by the Carleman exponential weight and investigating its $L^{p} - L^{p^{'}}$ boundedness properties.
