Microlocal defect measures

Abstract
In order to study weak continuity of quadratic forms on spaces of L2 solutions of systems of partial differential equations, we define defect measures on the space of positions and frequencies.A systematic use of these measures leads in particular to a compensated compactness theorem, generalizing MURAT"TARTAR's compensated compactness to variable coefficients and GOLSE"LIONS"PERTHAME"SENTIS's averaging lemma. We also obtain results on homogenization for differential operators of order I with oscillating coefficients.
