Pseudodifferential operators on compact manifolds with boundary

I have heard that the square root of the Dirichlet (or the Neumann) Laplacian is not a pseudodifferential operator on compact manifolds with boundary. The context in which this was said was that ...

Examples of unbounded pseudo-differential operators in $L^{\infty}$

During my graduate studies I've been told that pseudo-differential operators with symbols in $S^0=S^0_{1,0}$ (the simplest class) are bounded $L^2 \to L^2$, and also $L^p \to L^p$ for all $p \in (1, \...

Constructing a function $u$ such that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}|\eta-\xi||\hat{u}(\eta)|^2|\hat{u}(\xi)|^2\,d\xi\,d\eta<\infty$, but $u\notin H^{1/2}$

For $u\in \mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R})$, define, if finite, $$\Lambda(u)^4=\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}|\eta-\xi||\hat{u}(\eta)|^2|\hat{u}(\xi)|^2\,d\xi\,d\eta.$$ Using the triangle inequality $|\eta-\xi|\le |\eta|...

Smoothness of distributions defined by oscillation integrals

In M.A. Shubin's book Pseudodifferential Operators and Spectral Theory, we have the following statement. Let $X\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open set, and fix a symbol $a\in S_{\varrho,\delta}^m(X\...

Proof of Taylor's Schwartz kernel estimate of pseudodifferential operators

I am interested in the proof of the following result which gives an estimate on the Schwartz Kernel of a $\Psi$DO. There is one aspect the proof that is not clear to me which I would like to ask the ...

Looking for some "nontrivial" examples of pseudodifferential operators/symbols

I'm reading up on $\Psi DO$'s and trying to find some examples of symbols that are not quite so trivial. Obviously, the first example of a symbol that most people talk about is just a polynomial in $\...

Reference for singular integral operators such as $(-\Delta)^{-1}$ or $\nabla(-\Delta)^{-1}$

I'm currently working on understanding certain mean-field limits in kinetic theory, and the equations I'm working with are usually of the form $$\partial_t f +v\cdot\nabla_x f \pm c\nabla(-\Delta)^{-1}...

Bound of analytic torsion for a line bundle

Let $E\rightarrow X$ be a line bundle over a compact Riemann surface. Let $\Delta_{E}$ be the Dolbeault Laplacian $\Delta_{\overline{\partial}}$ extended to sections of $E$. Let $g_1, g_2$ be two ...

Normal form of Principal type $\Psi$DO's

Suppose we have a pseudo differential operator of principal type with a complex symbol and such that the poisson bracket of the real and imaginary parts on the characteristic set is non-negative.I ...
