Is there an elliptic operator $D$ on $C^{\infty}(S^2)$ whose principal symbol is not identical to thats of Laplacian but it satisfies $\int_{S^2} fDf =\int_{S^2} f\Delta (f)$ for all $f\in C^{\infty}( …

Assume that $J$ is an almost complex structure on torus $\mathbb{T}^2$. Let $X$ be a non vanishing vector field on the torus. Let $g$ be a Riemannian metric with corresponding $LC$ connection …

Let $D$ be a differential operator on the space of smooth functions on a manifold $M$. The symbol of $D$ can be considered as a Hamiltonian on the cotangent bundle $T^*M$. We call …

Assume that $X$ is a vector field on a $n$ dimensional manifold $M$.Let $0\leq i,j \leq n$. 1.Is there a linear isomorphism $T:\Omega^i(M) \to \Omega^j(M)$ with $L_X T=T L_X$? 2.Is there a linear i …

For a closed manifold the laplacian is almost surjective operator since the index of $\Delta$ is zero and there is no a non constant harmonic function. So the codimension of the image …

What is a precise example of the following situation: A compact Riemanian manifold $M$ admits two vector field $X,Y$ such that the the operator $$Z\mapsto R(X,Y)Z$$ Would be an elliptic operator and …

Assume that $M$ is a compact parallelizable manifold. Is there an upper bound for the absolute value of Fredholm index of all operators in the form $D=\sum_{i=1}^n \partial^2/\partial{X_i^2} …

I have already asked this question on MSE; now I repeat it on MO. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4132346/on-which-subspace-w-subset-c-infty0-1-is-df-xfx-a-bounded-operator First we introd …

Let $M$ be a real analytic manifold. By $C^{\omega}(M)$ we mean the algebra of all analytic functions from $M$ to $\mathbb{R}$. Assume that $D$ is a derivation on $C^{\omega}(M)$ . Is there a …
