On some analytical index formulas related to operator-valued symbols.
The analytic and wave-front sets of a distribution which is a solution of a regular holonomic differential system are shown to coincide. More generally, we give comparison theorems for solutions of a regular holonomic system of microdifferential equations in various spaces of microfunctions, as a simple extension of a result of Kashiwara.
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...
We consider a class of nonlocal operators associated with a compact Lie group G acting on a smooth manifold. A notion of symbol of such operators is introduced and an index formula for elliptic elements is obtained. The symbol in this situation is an element of a noncommutative algebra (crossed product by G) and to obtain an index formula, we define the Chern character for this algebra in the framework of noncommutative geometry.
