We establish elements of a new approch to ellipticity and parametrices within operator algebras on a manifold with higher singularities, only based on some general axiomatic requirements on parameter-dependent operators in suitable scales of spaces. The idea is to model an iterative process with new generations of parameter-dependent operator theories, together with new scales of spaces that satisfy analogous requirements as the original ones, now on a corresponding higher level.
The "full" calculus is voluminous; so we content ourselves here with some typical aspects such as symbols in terms of order reducing families, classes of relevant examples, and operators near a corner point.
We will show a local solvability result for a class of degenerate second order linear partial differential operators with a complex subprincipal symbol. Due to the form of the operators in the class the subprincipal symbol is invariantly defined and we shall give sufficient conditions for the local solvability to hold involving the real and the imaginary part of the latter. Under suitable conditions we will prove that the class under consideration is L^2 to L^2 locally solvable.
A new symbol theory for pseudodifferential operators in the complex analytic category is given. This theory provides a cohomological foundation of symbolic calculus.
The paper contains a survey of a class of Fourier integral operators defined by symbols with tempered weight. These operators are bounded (respectively compact) in $L^2$ if the weight of the amplitude is bounded (respectively tends to $0$).
In this paper we establish explicit lower bounds for pseudodifferential operators with a radial symbol. The proofs use classical Weyl calculus techniques and some useful, if not celebrated, properties of the Laguerre polynomials.
We study the semi-classical trace formula at a critical energy level for an $h$-pseudo-differential operator on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ whose principal symbol has a totally degenerate critical point for that energy. This problem is studied for a large time behavior and under the hypothesis that the principal symbol of the operator has a local extremum at the critical point.
We study cone differential operators on the half-axis and edge-degenerate differential operators on a half-space. We construct subspaces of edge Sobolev spaces that can be considered as natural domains for edge-degenerate operators and indicate how they can be used in the study of boundary problems for edge-degenerate operators.
In this paper we investigate $L^p$ and Sobolev boundedness of a certain class of pseudodifferential operators with non-regular symbols. We employ regularisation methods, namely convolution with a net of mollifiers $(ρ_\eps)_\eps$, and we study the corresponding net of pseudodifferential operators providing $L^p$ and Sobolev estimates which relate the parameter $\eps$ with the non-regularity of the symbol.
Mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces found their place in the study of some questions in the theory of partial differential equations, as can be seen from recent interest in the continuity of certain classes of pseudodifferential operators on these spaces. In this paper, we use some recent advances in the pseudodifferential calculus for nonsmooth symbols to prove the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators with such symbols on mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces.
Examples are given of degenerate elliptic operators on smooth, compact manifolds that are not globally regular in $C^\infty$. These operators degenerate only in a rather mild fashion. Certain weak regularity results are proved, and an interpretation of global irregularity in terms of the associated heat semigroup is given.
In this paper we establish some endpoint estimates for bilinearpseudodifferential operators with symbol in the class BS^m_{1,1}, involving the space of functions with local bounded mean oscillation bmo. As a consequence we also obtain an endpoint estimate of Kato-Ponce type.
We obtain heat kernel estimates for a class of fourth order non-uniformly elliptic operators in two dimensions. Contrary to existing results, the operators considered have symbols that are not strongly convex. This rises certain difficulties as it is known that, as opposed to the strongly convex case, there is no absolute exponential constant. Our estimates involve sharp constants and Finsler-type distances that are induced by the operator symbol. The main result is based on two general hypotheses, a weighted Sobolev inequalitry and an interpolation inequality, which are related to the singula…
We study an eigenvalue problem involving a degenerate and singular elliptic operator on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$. We prove the existence of an unbounded and increasing sequence of eigenvalues. Our study generalizes to the case of degenerate and singular operators a result of A. Szulkin and M. Willem.
In this paper we establish a hypoellipticity result for second order linear operators comprised by a linear combination, with infinite vanishing coefficients, of subelliptic operators in separate spaces. This generalizes previous known results.
Parametric factorizations of linear partial operators on the plane are considered for operators of orders two, three and four. The operators are assumed to have a completely factorable symbol. It is proved that ``irreducible'' parametric factorizations may exist only for a few certain types of factorizations. Examples are given of the parametric families for each of the possible types. For the operators of orders two and three, it is shown that any factorization family is parameterized by a single univariate function (which can be a constant function).
We consider special classes of linear bounded operators in Banach spaces and suggest certain operator variant of symbolic calculus. It permits to formulate an index theorem and to describe Fredholm properties of elliptic pseudo-differential operator on manifolds with non-smooth boundaries.
Motivated by the recent paper of Boggiatto-Garello in J. Pseudo-Differ. Oper. Appl. \textbf{11} (2020), 93-117, where a Gabor operator is regarded as pseudodifferential operator with symbol $p(x,ω)$ periodic on both the variables, we study the continuity and invertibility, on general time frequency invariant spaces, of pseudodifferential operators with completely periodic symbol and general $τ$ quantization.
We study the composition of time-ffrequency localization operators (wavepacket operators) and develop a symbolic calculus of such operators on modulation spaces. The use of time-frequency methods (phase space methods) allows the use of rough symbols of ultra-rapid growth in place of smooth symbols in the standard classes. As the main application it is shown that, in general, a localization operators possesses the Fredholm property, and thus its range is closed in the target space.
We consider Fourier integral operators with symbols in modulation spaces and non-smooth phase functions whose second orders of derivatives belong to certain types of modulation space. We establish continuity and Schatten-von Neumann properties of such operators when acting on modulation spaces.
We consider here pseudo-differential operators whose symbol $σ(x,ξ)$ is not infinitely smooth with respect to $x$. Decomposing such symbols into four -sometimes five- components and using tools of paradifferential calculus, we derive sharp estimates on the action of such pseudo-differential operators on Sobolev spaces and give explicit expressions for their operator norm in terms of the symbol $σ(x,ξ)$. We also study commutator estimates involving such operators, and generalize or improve the so-called Kato-Ponce and Calderon-Coifman-Meyer estimates in various ways.
We consider Fourier integral operators with symbols in modulation spaces and non-smooth phase functions whose second orders of derivatives belong to certain types of modulation space. We establish continuity and Schatten-von Neumann properties of such operators when acting on modulation spaces.
We study a class of pseudo-differential operators with oscillating symbols or osc illating amplitudes appearing in the long-range scattering theory. We develop the basic calc ulus for operators from such classes and solve some concrete problems posed by applications to scattering theory, especially to the scattering matrix. In particular, we show tha t under natural assumptions the spectrum of a pseudo-differential operator with an oscillating symb ol covers the unit circle.
In this paper, we study the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the Hörmander class $S^0_{ρ,ρ}$ on $α$-modulation spaces $M_{p,q}^{s,α}$, and consider the relation between $α$ and $ρ$. In particular, we show that pseudodifferential operators with symbols in $S^0_{α,α}$ are bounded on all $α$-modulation spaces $M^{s,α}_{p,q}$, for arbitrary $s\in\mathbb{R}$ and for the whole range of exponents $0 < p,q \leq \infty$.
In the present work we study elliptic operators on manifolds with singularities in the situation, when the manifold is endowed with an action of a discrete group $G$. As usual in elliptic theory, the Fredholm property of an operator is governed by the properties of its principal symbol. We show that the principal symbol in our situation is a pair, consisting of the symbol on the main stratum (interior symbol) and the symbol at the conical point (conormal symbol). Fredholm property of elliptic elements is obtained.
We investigate pseudodifferential operators on arbitrary locally compact abelian groups. As symbol classes for the Kohn-Nirenberg calculus we introduce a version of Sjoestrand's class. Pseudodifferential operators with such symbols form a Banach algebra that is closed under inversion. Since "hard analysis" techniques are not available on locally compact abelian groups, a new time-frequency approach is used with the emphasis on modulation spaces, Gabor frames, and Banach algebras of matrices. Sjoestrand's original results are thus understood as a phenomenon of abstract harmonic analysis rather …
In this paper we consider a fourth order operator in nondivergence form $Au:= au''''$, where $a: [0,1] \rightarrow \mathcal R_+$ is a function that degenerates somewhere in the interval. We prove that the operator generates an analytic semigroup, under suitable assumptions on the function $a$. We extend these results to a general operator $A_nu := au^{(2n)}$.
We establish the comparison principle and the existence of solutions of the integro-differential equations with L{é}vy operators. The L{é}vy operators of our interest are infinitesmal generator of the jump processes which could be degenerate and may depend on the gradient of the solutions.
On the torus, it is possible to assign a global symbol to a pseudodifferential operator using Fourier series. In this paper we investigate the relations between the local and global symbols for the operators in the classical Hörmander calculus and describe the principal symbols, the non-commutative residue and the canonical trace of an operator in terms of its global symbol. We also generalise these results to any compact Lie group.
We provide asymptotic formulas for the Bergman projector and Berezin-Toeplitz operators on a compact K{ä}hler manifold. These objects depend on an integer N and we study, in the limit N $\rightarrow$ +$\infty$, situations in which one can control them up to an error O(e^{-cN}) for some c > 0. We develop a calculus of Toeplitz operators with real-analytic symbols, which applies to K{ä}hler man-ifolds with real-analytic metrics. In particular, we prove that the Bergman kernel is controlled up to O(e^{-cN}) on any real-analytic K{ä}hler manifold as N $\rightarrow$ +$\infty$. We also prove that To…
