We define new symbol classes for pseudodifferential operators and investigate their pseudodifferential calculus. The symbol classes are parametrized by commutative convolution algebras. To every solid convolution algebra $𝒜$ over a lattice $\Lambda$ we associate a symbol class $M^{\infty ,𝒜}$. Then every operator with a symbol in $M^{\infty ,𝒜}$ is almost diagonal with respect to special wave packets (coherent states or Gabor frames), and the rate of almost diagonalization is described precisely by the underlying convolution algebra...

We study the method of layer potentials for manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. The fact that the boundary is non-compact prevents us from using the standard characterization of Fredholm or compact pseudo-differential operators between Sobolev spaces, as, for example, in the works of Fabes-Jodeit-Lewis and Kral-Wedland . We first study the layer potentials depending on a parameter on compact manifolds. This then yields the invertibility of the relevant boundary integral operators in the...

We study Fourier integral operators of Hörmander’s type acting on the spaces $ℱL^p{\left({ℝ}^d\right)}_{comp}$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, of compactly supported distributions whose Fourier transform is in $L^p$. We show that the sharp loss of derivatives for such an operator to be bounded on these spaces is related to the rank r of the Hessian of the phase Φ(x,η) with respect to the space variables x. Indeed, we show that operators of order m = -r|1/2-1/p| are bounded on $ℱL^p{\left({ℝ}^d\right)}_{comp}$ if the mapping $x\mapsto {\nabla }_x\Phi (x,\eta )$ is constant on the fibres, of codimension r, of an affine...
