contents We establish the well-posedness of the Helmholtz equation with rough and compactly supported coefficients in Rd under sharp regularity assumptions. Using a paraproduct calculus in rescaled weighted Besov spaces, we rigorously define the product between the solution and the coefficient at the lowest regularity level without renormalization. A rescaled Lippmann-Schwinger formulation is shown to be equivalent to the Helmholtz equation with the Sommerfeld radiation condition. We prove existence, uniqueness, and explicit wavenumber dependent resolvent estimates in a general Lp setting, including an L2 theory relevant to scattering amplitudes. The results provide a sharp analytic foundation for wave propagation and scattering in highly irregular media.
