Let $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ be smooth manifolds with $n_Y=\dim Y$. Let $C_1 \subset (T^*X \setminus 0) \times (T^*Y \setminus 0)$ and $C_2 \subset (T^*Y \setminus 0) \times (T^*Z \setminus 0)$ be closed conic immersed Lagrangian submanifolds in the untwisted kernel convention: if $K_A$ and $K_B$ are the Schwartz kernels of the operators below, then $C_1$ and $C_2$ are the conic Lagrangians containing $\operatorname{WF}(K_A)$ and $\operatorname{WF}(K_B)$ without applying the antipodal map to the intermediate cotangent variables.

Let $A \in I^{m_1}(X,Y;C_1)$ and $B \in I^{m_2}(Y,Z;C_2)$ be properly supported Fourier integral operators in the chapter's kernel-order convention. Let $\operatorname{WF}'(A) \subset (T^*X \setminus 0) \times (T^*Y \setminus 0)$ and $\operatorname{WF}'(B) \subset (T^*Y \setminus 0) \times (T^*Z \setminus 0)$ denote the operator wavefront relations associated to the Schwartz kernels $K_A$ and $K_B$ in the same untwisted kernel convention. Assume that on every microlocal patch used in the composition, $K_A$ and $K_B$ admit nondegenerate positively homogeneous phase parametrizations
with classical amplitudes in the symbol orders prescribed by the chapter's kernel-order convention, and that the corresponding oscillatory integrals are interpreted by the standard regularized oscillatory-integral definition.
the critical set of $\Phi$ in the integration variables $(y,\theta,\sigma)$ is a clean critical manifold which maps diffeomorphically onto the corresponding microlocal piece of $C_1 \times_{T^*Y}^{-} C_2$, and the normal Hessian of $\Phi$ in the variables $(y,\theta,\sigma)$ has constant rank equal to the number of integration variables minus the fibre dimension determined by the excess $e$. In the chapter's kernel-order convention, assume the clean stationary phase normalization for this situation gives precisely the order shift
Assume that, on the closed conic subset of $C_1 \times_{T^*Y}^{-} C_2$ [lying over](/theorems/2876) $\operatorname{WF}'(A) \times \operatorname{WF}'(B)$, the map $\pi_{XZ}$ is proper and has constant rank. Assume further that
is an admissible immersed conic Lagrangian target for the class $I^m(X,Z;C_1 \circ C_2)$ in the chapter's definition.

in the chapter's kernel-order convention. Equivalently, after translating the same operators into the standard half-density operator-order convention, the composed operator has order equal to the sum of the two input operator orders plus the clean excess contribution displayed above.
