This lecture notes cover a Part III (first year graduate) course that was given at Cambridge University over several years on pseudo-differential operators. The calculus on manifolds is developed and applied to prove propagation of singularities and the Hodge decomposition theorem. Problems are included.
This is a introductory course focusing some basic notions in pseudodifferential operators ($Ψ$DOs) and microlocal analysis. We start this lecture notes with some notations and necessary preliminaries. Then the notion of symbols and $Ψ$DOs are introduced. In Chapter 3 we define the oscillatory integrals of different types. Chapter 4 is devoted to the stationary phase lemmas. One of the features of the lecture is that the stationary phase lemmas are proved for not only compactly supported functions but also for more general functions with certain order of smoothness and certain order of growth a…

In these lectures, we discuss two approaches to studying orbit spaces of algebraic Lie groups. Due to algebraic approach orbit space, or quotient, is an algebraic manifold, while from the differential viewpoint a quotient is a differential equation. The main goal of these lectures is to show that the differential approach gives us a better understanding of structure of invariants and orbit spaces. We illustrate this on classical equivalence problems, such as $\mathrm{SL}$ - classification of binary and ternary forms, and affine classification of algebraic plane curves.
These lecture notes have been prepared for a series of lectures given at the Summer School "From kinetic equations to statistical mechanics", (see https://www.lebesgue.fr/content/sem2021-equat_cynet ) organised by the Henri Lebesgue Center in Saint Jean de Monts, from June 28th to July 2nd 2021.
This article explains the relationship between analytic and algebraic order in case of abstract pseudo-differential operators for a regular spectral triple.
We give an Ito type formula for a semi group whose generarator is a positive pseudo-differential operator which does not in general satisfies maximumu principle.
The aim of this work is to develop a global calculus for pseudo-differential operators acting on suitable algebras of generalized functions. In particular, a condition of global hypoellipticity of the symbols gives a result of regularity for the corresponding pseudo-differential equations. This calculus and this frame are proposed as tools for the study in Colombeau algebras of partial differential equations globally defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$.
This study is an attempt at generalizing the class of partially hypoelliptic differential operators to a class of pseudodifferential operators, Symbol ideals are formed on the set of lineality and we discuss suitable topologies that allow the generalizations.
In this paper we investigate the $L^p$-boundedness of certain classes of periodic pseudo-differential operators. The operators considered arise from the study of symbols on $\mathbb{T}^n\times\mathbb{Z}^n$ with limited regularity.
In this paper we provide an extension theorem for fractional powers of some pseudo-differential operators $P(D)$. These extensions yields realization of the fractional powers of some pseudo-differential operators in the spirit of Caffarelli and Silvestre \cite{CSilv}. In particular every fractional power of a local pseudo-differential operator can be realized locally. We also give some properties of the relativistic Schrödinger operator $\Dsm$.
We establish the pseudo-differential variant of the $L^{p}$ estimates for multi-linear and multi-parameter Coifman-Meyer multiplier operators proved by C. Muscalu, J. Pipher, T. Tao and C. Thiele in \cite{MPTT1,MPTT2}.
In this paper we study the action of pseudo-differential operators acting on Gevrey spaces. We introduce classes of classical symbols with spatial Gevrey regularity. As the spatial Gevrey regularity of a symbol $p(\cdot,ξ)$ may depend on the frequency $ξ$, the action of the associated pseudo-differential operator $op(p)$ may induce a loss of regularity. The proof is based on a para-product decomposition.
In this work we show endpoint boundedness properties of pseudo-differential operators of type $(ρ,ρ)$, $0<ρ<1$, on Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces. Our results are sharp and they also cover operators defined by compound symbols.
In this work we establish sharp boundedness results for pseudo-differential operators corresponding to $a\in\mathcal{S}_{0,0}^{m}$ on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces $F_p^{s,q}$ and Besov spaces $B_p^{s,q}$.
The field of partial differential equations (PDEs) is vast in size and diversity. The basic reason for this is that essentially all fundamental laws of physics are formulated in terms of PDEs. In addition, approximations to these fundamental laws, that form a patchwork of mathematical models covering the range from the smallest to the largest observable space-time scales, are also formulated in terms of PDEs. The diverse applications of PDEs in science and technology testify to the flexibility and expressiveness of the language of PDEs, but it also makes it a hard topic to teach right. Exactly…
Pseudo-differential operator equations with parameter are studied. Uniform separability properties and resolvent estimates are obtained in terms of fractional derivatives. Moreover, maximal regularity properties of the pseudo-differential abstract parabolic equation are established. Particularly, it is proven that the operators generated by these pseudo-differential equations are positive and aso are generators of analytic semigroups. As an application, the anisotropic parameter dependent pseudo-differential equations and the system of pseudo-differential equations are studied
The purpose of this note is to show how some results from the theory of partial differential equations apply to the study of pseudo-spectra of non-self-adjoint operators, which is a topic of current interest in applied mathematics.
Pseudo-differential and Fourier series operators on the n-torus are analyzed by using global representations by Fourier series instead of local representations in coordinate charts. Toroidal symbols are investigated and the correspondence between toroidal and Euclidean symbols of pseudo-differential operators is established. Periodization of operators and hyperbolic partial differential equations is discussed. Fourier series operators, which are analogues of Fourier integral operators on the torus, are introduced, and formulae for their compositions with pseudo-differential operators are deriv…
We prove that pseudo-differential operators with symbols in the class $S_{1,δ}^0$ ($0<δ<1$) are not always bounded on the modulation space $M^{p,q}$ ($q\neq2$).
In this paper, we study the $M$-ellipticity of Fredholm pseudo-differential operators associated with weighted symbols on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $1 < p < \infty$. We also prove the Gårding's inequality for $M$-elliptic operators and the hybrid class of pseudo-differential operators, namely SG$M$-elliptic operators.
We prove an extended version of Cordes' lemma concerning trace-class properties of some special pseudo-differential operators. This version of Cordes' lemma is used to improve the results in \cite{Arsu} concerning the Schatten-class properties of pseudo-differential operators in the $(X,τ) $-quantization. Here $X$ is an $n$ dimensional vector space and $τ$ is an endomorphism of $X$.
The purpose of this paper is to establish the theory of stochastic pseudo-differential operators and give its applications in stochastic partial differential equations. First, we introduce some concepts on stochastic pseudo-differential operators and prove their fundamental properties. Also, we present the boundedness theory, invertibility of stochastic elliptic operators and the Garding inequality. Moreover, as an application of the theory of stochastic pseudo-differential operators, we give a Calderon-type uniqueness theorem on the Cauchy problem of stochastic partial differential equations.…
We investigate the Schatten-von Neumann properties of pseudo-differential operators using the method proposed by A. Boulkhemair in \cite{Boulkhemair 2}. The symbols are elements of the ideals $S_{w}^{p}$ of the Sjöstrand algebra $S_{w}$.
In this paper we focus on the stochastic Euler-Poincaré equations with pseudo-differential/multiplicative noise. We first establish two new cancellation properties on pseudo-differential operators, which play a key role in energy estimate. Then, we obtain results on local solution, blow-up criterion and global existence. The interplay between stability on exiting times and continuous dependence of solution on initial data are also studied for the multiplicative noise case.
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.
We investigate the Schatten-class properties of pseudo-differential operators with the (revisted) method of Cordes and Kato. As symbol classes we use classes similar to those of Cordes in which the $L^{\infty}$% -conditions are replaced by $L^{p}$-conditions, $1\leq p<\infty $.
We study a model elliptic pseudo-differential equation and simplest boundary value problems for a half-space and a special cone in Sobolev--Slobodetskii spaces which have different smoothness with respect to separate variables. Sufficient conditions for a unique solvability for such boundary value problems are described.
In this paper we give several global characterisations of the Hormander class of pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups. The result is applied to give criteria for the ellipticity and the global hypoellipticity of pseudo-differential operators in terms of their matrix-valued full symbols. Several examples of the first and second order globally hypoelliptic differential operators are given. Where the global hypoelliptiticy fails, one can construct explicit examples based on the analysis of the global symbols.
We survey a few results on the boundedness of operators arising from the Weyl-Pedersen calculus associated with irreducible representations of nilpotent Lie groups.
In this paper we consider 0-th order pseudodifferential operators on the circle. We show that inside any interval disjoint from critical values of the principal symbol, the spectrum is absolutely continuous with possibly finitely many embedded eigenvalues. We also give an example of embedded eigenvalues.
These lecture notes are a systematic and self-contained exposition of the cohomological theories naturally related to partial differential equations: the Vinogradov C-spectral sequence and the C-cohomology, including the formulation in terms of the horizontal (characteristic) cohomology. Applications to computing invariants of differential equations are discussed. The lectures contain necessary introductory material on the geometric theory of differential equations and homological algebra.
A symbolic calculus for a pseudo-differential operators acting on sections of a homogeneous vector bundle over a compact homogeneous space $G/H$ with compact $G$ and $H$ is developed. We realize the symbol of a pseudo-differential operator as a linear operator acting on corresponding irreducible unitary representations of $H$ valued in the algebra $C^\infty(G)$ of smooth functions. We write down how left invariant vector fields of $SU(2)$ act on the sections of homogeneous vector bundles associated to the fibration $\mathbb{T}\hookrightarrow SU(2)\rightarrow\mathbb{C}P^1$, which is known as th…
The main objective of this paper is twofold. We first show that if the doubly-weighted Bohr spectrum of an almost periodic function exists, then it is either empty or coincides with the Bohr spectrum of that function. Next, we investigate the problem which consists of the existence of doubly-weighted pseudo-almost periodic solutions to some nonautonomous abstract differential equations.
In this paper, we enlarge the space of uniformly supported pseudo-differential operators on some groupoids by considering kernels satisfying certain asymptotic estimates. We show that such enlarged space contains the compact parametrix, and the generalized inverse of uniformly supported operators with Fredholm vector representation.
We consider a smooth hyper-surface Z of a closed Riemannian manifold X. Let P be the Poisson operator associating to a smooth function on Z its harmonic extension on X\Z. If A is a pseudo-differential operator on X of degree <3, we prove that B=P^* A P is a pseudo-differential operator on Z and calculate the principal symbol of B.
We develop a pseudo-differential Weyl calculus on nilpotent Lie groups which allows one to deal with magnetic perturbations of right invariant vector fields. For this purpose we investigate an infinite-dimensional Lie group constructed as the semidirect product of a nilpotent Lie grup and an appropriate function space thereon. We single out an appropriate coadjoint orbit in the semidirect product and construct our pseudo-differential calculus as a Weyl quantization of that orbit.
We introduce two new classes of pseudo-differential operators on open curves. They correspond via a change of variables to subclasses of the periodic pseudo-differential operators, which respectively stabilize even and odd functions. The resulting symbolic calculus can be applied to the analysis of the Helmholtz weighted layer potentials on open curves. In particular, we build some low order parametrices of the layer potentials which take the form of square roots of tangential operators. This gives some foundation for the construction of efficient preconditioners for the Helmholtz scattering p…
In this paper we study the boundedness of global pseudo-differential operators on smooth manifolds. By using the notion of global symbol we extend a classical condition of Hörmander type to guarantee the $L^p$-$L^q$-boundedness of global operators. First we investigate $L^p$-boundedness of pseudo-differential operators in view of the Hörmander-Mihlin condition. We also prove $L^\infty$-$BMO$ estimates for pseudo-differential operators. Later, we concentrate our investigation to settle $L^p$-$L^q$ boundedness of the Fourier multipliers and pseudo-differential operators for the range $1<p \leq 2…
