Abstract

We introduce a special family of distributional -densities and give a transversality criterion stating when their product is defined, closely related to Hörmander’s criterion for general distributions. Moreover, we show that for the subspace of distributional half-densities in this family the distribution product naturally yields a pairing that extends the usual one on smooth half-densities.
