Thermo-elasticity for anisotropic media in higher dimensions
  In this note we develop tools to study the Cauchy problem for the system of thermo-elasticity in higher dimensions. The theory is developed for general homogeneous anisotropic media under non-degeneracy conditions.   For degenerate cases a method of treatment is sketched and for the cases of cubic media and hexagonal media detailed studies are provided.
