Abstract
In this article we deal with the backward uniqueness property of the heat equation in conical domains in two spatial dimensions via Carleman inequality techniques Using a microlocal interpretation of the pseudoconvexity condition we improve the bounds of Šverák and Li Commun Partial Differ Equ 3781414–1429 2012 on the minimal angle in which the backward uniqueness property is displayed We reach angles of slightly less than 95circ Via twodimensional limiting Carleman weights we obtain the uniqueness of possible controls of the heat equation with lower order perturbations in conical domains with opening angles larger than 90circThis work is part of the PhD thesis of the author written under the supervision of Prof Dr Herbert Koch to whom she owes great gratitude for his persistent support and advice She thanks the Deutsche Telekom Stiftung and the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics for financial support
