Théorie spectrale de quelques variétés à bouts
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.
We investigate the traceless component of the conformal curvature tensor defined by (2.1) in Kähler manifolds of dimension , and show that the traceless component is invariant under concircular change. In particular, we determine Kähler manifolds with vanishing traceless component and improve some theorems (for example, [4, pp. 313–317]) concerning the conformal curvature tensor and the spectrum of the Laplacian acting on
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 in the calculus (of class zero), and an auxiliary operator , formed of the Dirichlet realization of a strongly elliptic second- order differential operator and an elliptic operator on the boundary, we consider the coefficient of in the asymptotic expansion of the resolvent trace (with large)...
We develop methods for studying transition operators on metric spaces that are invariant under a co-compact group which acts properly. A basic requirement is a decomposition of such operators with respect to the group orbits. We then introduce reduced transition operators on the compact factor space whose norms and spectral radii are upper bounds for the Lp-norms and spectral radii of the original operator. If the group is amenable then the spectral radii of the original and reduced operators coincide,...
We introduce an explicit procedure to generate natural operators on manifolds with almost Hermitian symmetric structures and work out several examples of this procedure in the case of almost Grassmannian structures.
