Is $\Psi^0(\mathbb{R})$ (pseudodifferential operators with symbols obeying $ |\partial^\alpha_x \partial^\beta_\xi a(x,\xi)| \leq C_{\alpha,\beta} (1+|\xi|)^{-|\beta|} $ ) a $C^*$-algebra? In other words, is $\Psi^0(\mathbb{R})$ is closed in $\mathcal{L}(L^2(\mathbb{R}))$ in the operator norm topology? *** If not, then is there any nice characterization by the $C^*$-algebra generated by $\Psi^0$? Alternatively, what is the strongest (or just a reasonable) topology on $\mathcal{L}(L^2(\mathbb{R}))$ such that $\Psi^0$ is a closed subspace?
