What can be said about the tensor product $T\otimes S$ of two Fredholm operators $T:X_1\to Y_1$ and $S:X_2 \to Y_2$ where $X_1,X_2,Y_1, Y_2$ are Banach spaces and tensor product of operat …

Inspired by the seminal paper of Andre Weil on the number of solutions of equations on finite fields we would like to present the following question: Let $P(x,y), Q(x,y)$ be two polynomials of deg …

Let $D$ be an elliptic differential operator defined on $\Gamma(E)$ where $\Gamma (E)$ is the space of smooth sections of vector bundle $E$ over a smooth manifold $M$. So $\Gamma (E)$ is a $C^\i …

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 $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function which is flat at $0\in \mathbb{R}$. That is $f^{(k)}(0)=0,\; k=0,1,2,\ldots $. Assume that $|f''(x)|\leq M|f(x)|\quad \forall x\in \mathbb{R}$ …

Let $M$ be a manifold. Does it necessarily admit an elliptic operator on $C^{\infty}(M)$ which satisfy Leibniz rule? Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold with the standard Poisson structure on $C^{\inf …

In this question we search for some conditions under which the exterior derivation $d:\Omega^i(M)\to \Omega^{i+1}(M)$ on a differentiable manifold $M$ is a Lie algebra morphism in a certain sense. We …

In this question we search for a big list of non elliptic operators whose Fredholm index is finite or whose Fredholm theory is extensively discussed. The main motovation is the conference linked in th …

Inspired by the two posts which are linked bellow we ask the following question: Question: For a vector field $X$ on the plane we define the differential operator $D$ on $C^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ wi …

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} …

Assume that $\mathcal{F}$ is a foliation of a $3$ dimensional compact Riemannian manifold $M$ which is invariant under flow of a transversal non vanishing vector field $X$. Let $\Delta_{\ …

Assume that $(M,g)$ is a $n$ dimensional Riemannian manifold. We denote by $\Delta$, the Laplacian associated to this Riemannian structure. Are the following two conditions equivalent? First condition …

I would like to apply the hints presented in the answer by Bazin to give the following answer. Every derivation of $\chi^{\infty}(M)$ is inner and it is obvious that every inner derivation is a non …

What is an example of a manifold $M$ with $\dim(M)>1$ whose Lie algebra $\chi^{\infty}(M)$ of smooth vector fields admit an elliptic operator $D:\chi^{\infty}(M)\to \chi^{\infty}(M)$ such th …

Let $E\to M$ be a smooth vector bundle over a smooth manifold $M$. Let $D$ be a differential operator defined on the space $\Gamma(E)$ of smooth sections of $E$. We fix a section $s\in \Gamma(E)$. Ass …
