We consider a class of nonlocal operators associated with an action of a compact Lie group G on a smooth closed manifold. Ellipticity condition and Fredholm property for elliptic operators are obtained. This class of operators is studied using pseudodifferential uniformization, which reduces the problem to a pseudodifferential operator acting in sections of infinite-dimensional bundles.
Let be a selfadjoint classical pseudo-differential operator of order with non-negative principal symbol on a compact manifold. We assume that is hypoelliptic with loss of one derivative and semibounded from below. Then exp, , is constructed as a non-classical Fourier integral operator and the main contribution to the asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues of is computed. This paper is a continuation of a series of joint works with A. Menikoff.
We show that the number of derivatives of a non negative 2-order symbol needed to establish the classical Fefferman-Phong inequality is bounded by improving thus the bound obtained recently by N. Lerner and Y. Morimoto. In the case of symbols of type , we show that this number is bounded by ; more precisely, for a non negative symbol , the Fefferman-Phong inequality holds if are bounded for, roughly, . To obtain such results and others, we first prove an abstract result which says that...
