The signature package on Witt spaces

Pierre Albin, Éric Leichtnam, Rafe Mazzeo, Paolo Piazza (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

In this paper we prove a variety of results about the signature operator on Witt spaces. First, we give a parametrix construction for the signature operator on any compact, oriented, stratified pseudomanifold X which satisfies the Witt condition. This construction, which is inductive over the ‘depth’ of the singularity, is then used to show that the signature operator is essentially self-adjoint and has discrete spectrum of finite multiplicity, so that its index—the analytic signature of  X —is well-defined....

The verification of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture

Nicolas Lerner (2005/2006)

Séminaire Bourbaki

In a series of recent papers, Nils Dencker proves that condition ( ψ ) implies the local solvability of principal type pseudodifferential operators (with loss of 3 2 + ϵ derivatives for all positive ϵ ), verifying the last part of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture, formulated in 1971. The origin of this question goes back to the Hans Lewy counterexample, published in 1957. In this text, we follow the pattern of Dencker’s papers, and we provide a proof of local solvability with a loss of 3 2 derivatives.

The Weyl correspondence as a functional calculus

Josefina Alvarez (2000)

Banach Center Publications

The aim of this paper is to use an abstract realization of the Weyl correspondence to define functions of pseudo-differential operators. We consider operators that form a self-adjoint Banach algebra. We construct on this algebra a functional calculus with respect to functions which are defined on the Euclidean space and have a finite number of derivatives.

Time-frequency analysis of Sjöstrand's class.

Karlheinz Gröchenig (2006)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We investigate the properties an exotic symbol class of pseudodifferential operators, Sjöstrand's class, with methods of time-frequency analysis (phase space analysis). Compared to the classical treatment, the time-frequency approach leads to striklingly simple proofs of Sjöstrand's fundamental results and to far-reaching generalizations.

Trace theorem on the Heisenberg group

Hajer Bahouri, Jean-Yves Chemin, Chao-Jiang Xu (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove in this work the trace and trace lifting theorem for Sobolev spaces on the Heisenberg groups for hypersurfaces with characteristics submanifolds.

Traces and quasi-traces on the Boutet de Monvel algebra

Gerd Grubb, Elmar Schrohe (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We construct an analogue of Kontsevich and Vishik’s canonical trace for pseudodifferential boundary value problems in the Boutet de Monvel calculus on compact manifolds with boundary. For an operator A in the calculus (of class zero), and an auxiliary operator B , formed of the Dirichlet realization of a strongly elliptic second- order differential operator and an elliptic operator on the boundary, we consider the coefficient C 0 ( A , B ) of ( - λ ) - N in the asymptotic expansion of the resolvent trace Tr ( A ( B - λ ) - N ) (with N large)...
