We first show that a linear operator which is bounded on $L{²}_w$ with w ∈ A₁ can be extended to a bounded operator on the weighted local Hardy space $h{¹}_w$ if and only if this operator is uniformly bounded on all $h{¹}_w$-atoms. As an application, we show that every pseudo-differential operator of order zero has a bounded extension to $h{¹}_w$.

We describe a microlocal normal form for a symmetric system of pseudo-differential equations whose principal symbol is a real symmetric matrix with a generic crossing of eigenvalues. We use it in order to give a precise description of the microlocal solutions.

This article is concerned with the question of whether Marcinkiewicz multipliers on ${ℝ}^{2n}$ give rise to bilinear multipliers on ℝⁿ × ℝⁿ. We show that this is not always the case. Moreover, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for such bilinear multipliers to be bounded. These conditions in particular imply that a slight logarithmic modification of the Marcinkiewicz condition gives multipliers for which the corresponding bilinear operators are bounded on products of Lebesgue and Hardy spaces.

We prove the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture : that for principal type pseudo-differential operators local solvability is equivalent to condition ($\Psi$). This condition rules out certain sign changes of the imaginary part of the principal symbol along the bicharacteristics of the real part. We obtain local solvability by proving a localizable estimate for the adjoint operator with a loss of two derivatives (compared with the elliptic case). The proof involves a new metric in the Weyl (or Beals-Fefferman)...

We give an explicit formula for the symbol of a function of an operator. Given a pseudo-differential operator $\widehat{A}$ on $L^2\left({ℝ}^N\right)$ with symbol $A\in {𝒞}^{\infty }\left(T^{*}{ℝ}^N\right)$ and a smooth function $f$, we obtain the symbol of $f\left(\widehat{A}\right)$ in terms of $A$. As an application, Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rules are explicitly calculated at order 4 in $\hslash$.

In a series of recent papers, Nils Dencker proves that condition $\left(\psi \right)$ implies the local solvability of principal type pseudodifferential operators (with loss of $\frac{3}{2}+ϵ$ 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 $\frac{3}{2}$ derivatives.

Let A be a pseudodifferential operator on ${ℝ}^N$ whose Weyl symbol a is a strictly positive smooth function on $W={ℝ}^N\times {ℝ}^N$ such that $|{\partial }^{\alpha }a|\le C_{\alpha }{a}^{1-\varrho }$ for some ϱ>0 and all |α|>0, ${\partial }^{\alpha }a$ is bounded for large |α|, and $li{m}_{w\to \infty }a\left(w\right)=\infty$. Such an operator A is essentially selfadjoint, bounded from below, and its spectrum is discrete. The remainder term in the Weyl asymptotic formula for the distribution of the eigenvalues of A is estimated. This is done by applying the method of approximate spectral projectors of Tulovskiĭ and Shubin.

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.

For several classes of pseudodifferential operators with operator-valued symbol analytic index formulas are found. The common feature is that usual index formulas are not valid for these operators. Applications are given to pseudodifferential operators on singular manifolds.

In this paper we show an asymptotic formula for the number of eigenvalues of a pseudodifferential operator. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of the result by Shubin and Tulovskiĭ about the Weyl asymptotic formula. We also consider a version of the Weyl formula for the quasi-classical asymptotics.
