Algebras generated by idempotents and the symbol calculus for singular integral operators

It is proved that in Banach algebras generated by two idempotents and, perhaps, by a certain flip operator the standard identity F₄ is fulfilled. The maximal ideal space of such algebras is determined and the corresponding symbol is given. By means of local techniques these results are applied to obtain a symbol calculus for singular integral operators with Carleman shift (changing the orientation) in weighted Banach spaces.     

On algebras of singular integral operators with shift in Hölder weighted spaces

We consider algebras of singular integral operators with shift and piecewise Hölder coefficients in a Hölder weighted space on a Lyapunov contour. For this algebra, we construct the similarity isomorphism to the algebra of singular integral operators with piecewise Hölder coefficients in a Hölder space with “canonical” weight on the circle. We construct the symbol calculus, formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for the Fredholm property, and give the formula for the index of Fredholm operators.Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 9, Suzdal Conference-3, 2003.     

Exact sequences of algebras generated by singular integral operators

An abstract theorem concerning exact sequences of Banach algebras of operators and symbol homomorphisms relative to groups of operators is derived. This general result is used to deduce many of the classical spectral inclusion theorems and short exact sequences for algebras of singular integral operators.This work partially supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.     

Singular Integral Operators with Fixed Singularities on Weighted Lebesgue Spaces

The paper is devoted to study of singular integral operators with fixed singularities at endpoints of contours on weighted Lebesgue spaces with general Muckenhoupt weights. Compactness of certain integral operators with fixed singularities is established. The membership of singular integral operators with fixed singularities to Banach algebras of singular integral operators on weighted Lebesgue spaces with slowly oscillating Muckenhoupt weights is proved on the basis of Balakrishnans formula from the theory of strongly continuous semi-groups of closed linear operators. Symbol calculus for such operators, Fredholm criteria and index formulas are obtained.     

Norm closure and extension of the symbolic calculus for the cone algebra

We investigate the symbolic structure of an algebra of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with conical singularities which has been introduced by B.-W. Schulze. Our main objective is the extension of the symbolic calculus of this algebra to its norm closure in an adapted scale of Sobolev spaces. This procedure yields Banach algebras and Fréchet algebras of singular integral operators with continuous principal symbols.     

Singular integral operators on complicated contours and pseudodifferential operators

We apply the pseudodifferential operator technique to the study of algebras of singular operators on complicated contours. This technique is used to construct a symbolic calculus for theC ^*-algebra generated by singular integral operators whose coefficients may have singularities of the second kind on complicated contours; the curves forming a node are not required to have a tangent at the node.

On the oblique derivative problem for second order elliptic equations

A calculus of polyhomogeneous paired Lagrangian distributions, associated to any two cleanly intersecting Lagrangain submanifolds, is constructed. The class is given an intrinsic characterisation using radial operators and a symbol calculus is developed. A class of pseudo—differential operators with singular symbols is developed within the calculus. This is used to give symbolic constructions of parametrices for operators of real principal type and paired Lagrangian distributions. The calculus is then applied to give a symbolic construction of the forward fundamental solution of the wave operator.

On Singular Integro-Differential Operators on the Halfaxis

In the frame of classical SOBOLEV spaces the FREDHOLM property will be characterized for a class of singular integro-differential operators on the positive halfaxis. A symbol calculus moreover permits to specify an index formula and a special FREDHOLM inverse.     

Algebras of Singular Integral Operators with Piecewise Continuous Coefficients on Reflexive Orlicz Spaces

We consider singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients on reflexive Orlicz spaces L_m(σ) which are generalizations of the Lebesgue spaces L_P(σ), 1 < p < ∞. We suppose that σ belongs to a large class of Carleson curves, including curves with corners and cusps as well as curves that look locally like two logarithmic spirals scrolling up at the same point. For the singular integral operator associated with the Riemann boundary value problem with a piecewise continuous coefficient G, we establish a Fredholm criterion and an index formula in terms of the essential range of G complemented by spiralic horns depending on the Boyd indices of L_M(σ) and contour properties. Our main result is a symbol calculus for the closed algebra of singular integral operators with piecewise continuous matrix - valued coefficients on L_Mⁿ(σ).     

Algebra of singular integral operators with a Carleman backward slowly oscillating shift

In this paper we study the Banach algebra of singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients and a Carleman orientation-reversing slowly oscillating shift on the Lebesgue space with a power weight on the unit circle. The slow oscillation of the shift derivative, in contrast to the classic assumption on its piecewise continuity, leads to the appearance of massive local spectra for the considered operators. Applying localization techniques and the theory of Mellin pseudodifferential and associated limit operators, we construct a symbol calculus for the above-mentioned operator algebra and find a Fredholm criterion and an index formula for the operators in this algebra in terms of their symbols.Partially supported by CONaCYT grant, Cátedra Patrimonial, No. 990017-EX and by CONACYT project 32726-E, México.Partially supported by F.

A NOTE TO OSCILLATORY SINGULAR INTEGRALS ON HERZ—TYPE SPACES

In this paper, we want to improve our previous results. We prove that some oscillatory strong singular integral operators of non-convolution type with non-polynomial phases are bounded from Herz-type Hardy spaces to Hertz spaces and from Hardy spaces associated with the Beurling algebras to the Beurling algebrasin higher dimensions.     

Some Oscillatory Singular Integrals on Herz-type Spaces (Ⅱ)

In this paper, the authors prove that some oscillatory singular integral operators of non-convolution type with non-polynomial phases are bounded from the Herz-type Hardy spaces to the Herz spaces and from the Hardy spaces associated with the Beurling algebras to the Beurling algebras in higher dimensions, even though it is well-known that these operators are not bounded from the Hardy space H1(Rn) into the Lebesgue spaceL1(Rn).     

On parameters influencing the stability of quadrature methods for singular integral equations with conjugation

In this paper, we study an approximation method for solving singular integral equations with conjugation on an open arc. The stability of the method depends on the invertibility of certain operators which belong to well-known algebras. We investigate properties of these operators and show how to choose the parameters of the approximation method so that the Fredholm indices of the operators mentioned become equal to zero.     

The index of elliptic operators on manifolds with conical points

For general elliptic pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with singular points, we prove an algebraic index formula. In this formula the symbolic contributions from the interior and from the singular points are explicitly singled out. For two-dimensional manifolds, the interior contribution is reduced to the Atiyah-Singer integral over the cosphere bundle while two additional terms arise. The first of the two is one half of the "eta" invariant associated to the conormal symbol of the operator at singular points. The second term is also completely determined by the conormal symbol. The example of the Cauchy-Riemann operator on the complex plane shows that all the three terms may be nonzero. Moreover, we introduce a natural symmetry condition for a pseudodifferential operator on a manifold with cylindrical ends ensuring that the operator admits a doubling across the boundary. For such operators we prove an explicit index formula containing, apart from the Atiyah-Singer integral, a finite number of residues of the logarithmic derivative of the conormal symbol.     

Extension theorems for Fredholm and invertibility symbols

This paper is a continuation of [GK3] where the theory of Invertibility Symbol in Banach algebras was developed. In the present paper we generalize these results for the case when the Invertibility Symbol is defined on a subalgebra of the Banach algebras. The difficulty which arises here in this more general case is connected with the fact that some elements of the subalgebra may have the inverses which do not belong to the subalgebra. This generalization of the theory allows us to study the Fredholm Symbols of linear operators. Applications to subalgebras generated by two idempotents and to algebras generated by singular integral operators are presented.     

On Integral Operators of Generalized Wiener-Hopf-Type

A class of singular integral operators on the positive halfaxis, constituted by the one-sided HILBERT transformation, the WIENER -HOPF operators, the multiplicative convolution operators, and some multiplication operators, generated by continuous functions, are studied with BANACH algebra methods. With the help of symbol functions the FREDHOLM operators wil be characterized. Moreover one gets information about an index formula and FREDHOLM inverses.     

Fredholmness of singular integral operators with discrete subexponentialgroups of shifts on Lebesgue spaces
