Abstract:
We consider Cauchy problems for 2-dimensional wave equations in a complex domain. We assume that the initial values have singularities along the union of two hypersurfaces which are normally crossing at the origin. We show that the solutions have singularities not only along the corresponding characteristic hypersurfaces but also on the light cone issuing from the origin.

Keywords: Complex Cauchy propblem, propagation of the singularities, light cone.
