Between Being a Connection and Being an Elliptic Operator
Let $E$ be a smooth complex vector bundle over a smooth compact manifold $M$ and let $H$ be the $Z_{2}$-graded (with the $Z_{2}$-grading given by even/odd forms) Hilbert space of $L_{2}$ (with respect ...

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 ...

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?...

Contact manifolds and pseudodifferential operators
By way of background, I am currently trying to understand the theory of pseudodifferential operators in the context of contact geometry. I have some knowledge of pseudodifferential operators on ...

Pseudodifferential operator associated to a self-adjoint extension of a symmetric operator on an incomplete manifold
Let $D$ be the Dirac operator acting on a spinor bundle $S$ over a complete Riemannian manifold $M$. Then $D$ is an essentially self-adjoint operator on $L^2(S)$.
Suppose there is a compact subset $K\...

Conformal manifolds produce Fredholm modules-pseudodifferential operator
This question is a continuation of the discussion which can be found here. From the exterior derivative one constructs an operator $S$ with the property that the graph of $S$ is the (closure of) the ...

Parametrix of external product of elliptic operators
Let $S$ and $T$ be Dirac-type operators on vector bundles $E\rightarrow M$ and $F\rightarrow N$ respectively, where $M$ and $N$ are manifolds. Suppose $Q_S$ and $Q_T$ are parametrices for $S$ and $T$. ...

Extension of a bounded operator on manifold
I have a problem, which is quite urgent, as I have only today discovered an error in a proof i had in a thesis which is to be handed in tomorrow.
The problem, if stated in as full generality as ...

PDE on an open ball with prescribed value on some open subsets
Suppose that we have a $r$-order differential operator $L:C^r(B^n, \mathbb{R})\to C^0(B^n,\mathbb{R})$ where $B^n $ is the open unitary ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (we can assume for simplicity that it ...
