Given a non-quasianalytic subadditive weight function ω we consider the weighted Schwartz space S ω and the short-time Fourier transform on S ω , S ′ ω and on the related modulation spaces with exponential weights. In this setting we define the ω-wave front set WF ′ ω (u) and the Gabor ω-wave front set WF G ω (u) of u ∈ S ′ ω , and we prove that they coincide. Finally we look at applications of this wave front set for operators of differential and pseudo-differential type.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 35A18; Secondary 46F05, 42C15, 35S05.
