Index of the Fredholm operator
I have two vector bundles $E_1$, $E_2$ over $M$ and an embedding of the smooth sections $\lambda : \Gamma(M, E_1) \rightarrow \Gamma(M, E_1 \oplus E_2)$. I consider a Fredholm differential operator $...

Conormal distributions and the wave front set
Let $X$ be a smooth closed manifold and $Y$ a regular submanifold. For all conormal distributions at $Y$ on $X$, their wave front set is contained in the conormal bundle of $Y$. Is the reciprocal true?...

Dirichlet to Neumann operator and the Riesz transform
Consider the manifold $M := \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus B_1$ where $B_1$ is the unit ball. Equip $M$ with an asymptotically flat metric $g$ of high order. Let $\gamma$ be the induced metric on $\partial M$....

Controlling a Schwartz kernel near the diagonal
Let $D$ be a first-order elliptic differential operator that is essentially self-adjoint on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Consider the operator $(D+i)^q$ acting on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with domain $C_c^\infty(\...

What essential property justifies the name "derivative"?
Most, if not all, of the notions of derivative that I have so far seen have the property that they are locally defined -- meaning that the derivative of a map-type object at a point depends on the map ...

Fredholmness of elliptic operator on Hölder spaces
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth oriented closed Riemannian manifold, $E\to M$ a smooth vector bundle, and $C^{k,\alpha}(E)$ the Banach space of sections of $E$ that are $k$-times differentiable (with respect ...

The tensor product of two Fredholm operators
What can be said about the tensor product $T\otimes S$ of two Fredholm operators $T:X_1\to Y_1$ and $S:X_2 \to Y_2$ where $X_1,X_2,Y_1, Y_2$ are Banach spaces and tensor product of ...
