Convergence of conformal metrics with prescribed curvature
We know that for any function $K: \mathbb{D} \to \left[-a, -b\right]$, where $a, b > 0$, there is a unique metric $h$ on the disk $\mathbb{D}$ which is conformal to $dz^{2}$, and has curvature ...

Given composition rules, determining whether a continuous map between smooth functions is a pseudodifferential operator
Let $M$ be a closed manifold, and let $P:C^{\infty}(M)\rightarrow C^{\infty}(M)$ be a continuous linear map in the smooth Fréchet topologies. In what is to come, if it helps, one can assume further ...

On the relation between ellipticity and Fredholmness as properties of linear PDE's on Fréchet spaces of smooth sections
Let $M$ be a compact manifold equipped with finite rank vector bundles $E$ and $F$ with spaces of $C^{\infty}$ sections denoted $\Gamma(E)$ and $\Gamma(F)$ respectively. It is standard that a ...

Is this a pseudodifferential operator?
Let $M$ be a non-compact manifold and $D$ a first-order self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on $M$. Then is the bounded operator
$$A:=\sqrt{(D^2+1)^{-1}}:L^2(M)\rightarrow H^1(M)$$
a ...

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 ...

Extension of outer unit normal vector to interior
Suppose we have a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, so there exists an outer unit normal vector field $\eta$ everywhere on the boundary. Can we extend it to the interior satisfying ...

Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on singular spaces
Consider a compact manifold $M$ with boundary and corner. As an example, we could have the cube $\{(x_1, x_2,..x_n) \in \mathbb{R}^n : x_i \in [0,1]\}$. We could very well define the Laplacian $\Delta$...
