Intrinsic Covering Dimension for Nuclear C*-Algebras with Real Rank Zero

For operators belonging either to a class of global bisingular pseudodifferential operators on \({{\mathbb{R}^{m}} \times {\mathbb{R}^{n}}}\) or to a class of bisingular pseudodifferential operators on a product \({M \times N}\) of two closed smooth manifolds, we show the equivalence of their ellipticity (defined by the invertibility of certain operator-valued, homogeneous principal symbols) and their Fredholm mapping property in associated scales of Sobolev spaces. We also prove the spectral invariance of these operator classes and then extend these results to larger classes of Toeplitz type operators.     

Pseudodifferential operators on mixed‐norm Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces

We prove boundedness of pseudodifferential operators on anisotropic mixed‐norm Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces. Our proof relies only on general maximal function estimates and provides a new perspective even in the case of spaces without mixed norms. Moreover, we cover the case of Fourier multipliers on the above mentioned spaces. As application we establish boundedness of pseudodifferential operators and Fourier multipliers on anisotropic mixed‐norm Sobolev spaces.     

Spectral flow and Dixmier traces

We obtain general theorems which enable the calculation of the Dixmier trace in terms of the asymptotics of the zeta function and of the heat operator in a general semi-finite von Neumann algebra. Our results have several applications. We deduce a formula for the Chern character of an odd -summable Breuer-Fredholm module in terms of a Hochschild 1-cycle. We explain how to derive a Wodzicki residue for pseudo-differential operators along the orbits of an ergodic action on a compact space X. Finally, we give a short proof of an index theorem of Lesch for generalised Toeplitz operators.     

Pseudodifferential <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic vector fields and pseudodifferentiation of a composite <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic function

We discuss transformation of p-adic pseudodifferential operators (in the one-dimensional and multidimensional cases) with respect to p-adic maps which correspond to automorphisms of the tree of balls in the corresponding p-adic spaces. In the dimension one we find a rule of transformation for pseudodifferential operators. In particular we find the formula of pseudodifferentiation of a composite function with respect to the Vladimirov p-adic fractional operator. We describe the frame of wavelets for the group of parabolic automorphisms of the tree T (O _p ) of balls in O _p . In many dimensions we introduce the group of mod p-affine transformations, the family of pseudodifferential operators corresponding to pseudodifferentiation along vector fields on the tree T (O _p ) and obtain a rule of transformation of the introduced pseudodifferential operators with respect to mod p-affine transformations.     

M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators on L p (ℝn )

We construct the minimal and maximal extensions in L ^p (?ⁿ ), 1 < p < ∞, for M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators initiated by Garello and Morando. We prove that they are equal and determine the domains of the minimal, and hence maximal, extensions of M ‐elliptic pseudo‐differential operators. For M ‐elliptic pseudodifferential operators with constant coefficients, the spectra and essential spectra are computed. An application to quantization is given. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Multiple summability properties for Cohen ‐summing operators

We prove that Cohen p‐summing operators satisfy multiple summability properties. Some of these multiple summability properties are new even in the linear case. For example, we prove that the multilinear functional associated to a Cohen p‐summing n‐linear operator is multiple ‐summing.     

The Residue Determinant

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to present the construction of a canonical determinant functional on elliptic pseudodifferential operators (ψdos) associated to the Guillemin–Wodzicki residue trace.

The resulting residue determinant functional is multiplicative, a local invariant, and not defined by a regularization procedure. The residue determinant is consequently a quite different object from the zeta function determinant, which is nonlocal and nonmultiplicative. Indeed, the residue determinant does not arise as the derivative of a trace on the complex power operators and does not depend on a choice of spectral cut. The identification of a certain residue determinant with the index of an elliptic ψdo shows the residue determinant to be topologically significant.     

Anisotropic Lizorkin–Triebel spaces with mixed norms — traces on smooth boundaries

This article deals with trace operators on anisotropic Lizorkin–Triebel spaces with mixed norms over cylindrical domains with smooth boundary. As a preparation we include a rather self‐contained exposition of Lizorkin–Triebel spaces on manifolds and extend these results to mixed‐norm Lizorkin–Triebel spaces on cylinders in Euclidean space. In addition Rychkov's universal extension operator for a half space is shown to be bounded with respect to the mixed norms, and a support preserving right‐inverse of the trace is given explicitly and proved to be continuous in the scale of mixed‐norm Lizorkin–Triebel spaces. As an application, the heat equation is considered in these spaces, and the necessary compatibility conditions on the data are deduced.     

K-Theory of Suspended Pseudo-Differential Operators

We compute the K-theory groups of Melrose's algebra of 1-suspended pseudo-differential operators. The boundary map in the six-term long exact sequence turns out to be related to both the eta invariant of Melrose and to the index of elliptic operators. The proof is based on a new identity between the formal trace and the Wodzicki residue trace on the suspended algebra.Partially supported by the European Commission RTN HPRN-CT-1999-00118 Geometric Analysis.     

Derivations on the Algebra of τ-Compact Operators Affiliated with a Type I von Neumann Algebra

Let M be a type I von Neumann algebra with the center Z, and a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. Consider the algebra L(M, τ) of all τ-measurable operators with respect to M and let S ₀(M, τ) be the subalgebra of τ-compact operators in L(M, τ). We prove that any Z-linear derivation of S ₀(M, τ) is spatial and generated by an element from L(M, τ).      

Boundary integral method for thermoelastic screen scattering problem in ℝ3

We investigate a three‐dimensional mathematical thermoelastic scattering problem from an open surface which will be referred to as a screen. Under the assumption of the local finite energy of the unified thermoelastic scattered field, we give a weak model on the appropriate Sobolev spaces and derive equivalent integral equations of the first kind for the jump of some trace operators on the open surface. Uniqueness and existence theorems are proved, the regularity and the singular behaviour of the solution near the edge are established with the help of the Wiener–Hopf method in the halfspace, the calculus of pseudodifferential operators on the basis of the strong ellipticity property and Gårding's inequality. An improved Galerkin scheme is provided by simulating the singular behaviour of the exact solution at the edge of the screen. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Signatures for ‐hermitians and ‐unitaries on Krein spaces with Real structures

For J‐hermitian operators on a Krein space satisfying an adequate Fredholm property, a global Krein signature is shown to be a homotopy invariant. It is argued that this global signature is a generalization of the Noether index. When the Krein space has a supplementary Real structure, the sets of J‐hermitian Fredholm operators with Real symmetry can be retracted to certain of the classifying spaces of Atiyah and Singer. Secondary ‐invariants are introduced to label their connected components. Related invariants are also analyzed for J‐unitary operators.     

Weighted boundedness of the 2‐fold product of Hardy–Littlewood maximal operators

We study new weighted estimates for the 2‐fold product of Hardy–Littlewood maximal operators defined by . This operator appears very naturally in the theory of bilinear operators such as the bilinear Calderón–Zygmund operators, the bilinear Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator introduced by Calderón or in the study of pseudodifferential operators. To this end, we need to study Hölder's inequality for Lorentz spaces with change of measures Unfortunately, we shall prove that this inequality does not hold, in general, and we shall have to consider a weaker version of it.     

Little Grothendieck`s theorem for real JB*-triples

We prove that given a real JB*-triple E, and a real Hilbert space H, then the set of those bounded linear operators T from E to H, such that there exists a norm one functional and corresponding pre-Hilbertian semi-norm on E such that for all , is norm dense in the set of all bounded linear operators from E to H. As a tool for the above result, we show that if A is a JB-algebra and is a bounded linear operator then there exists a state such that for all .

Pseudo‐differential operators in a Gelfand–Shilov setting

We introduce some general classes of pseudodifferential operators with symbols admitting exponential type growth at infinity and we prove mapping properties for these operators on Gelfand–Shilov spaces. Moreover, we deduce composition and certain invariance properties of these classes.     

Traces of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-Operators Concentrated on Submanifolds

We consider the traces on submanifolds of G-operators generated by pseudodifferential operators and operators of shift along the orbits of a discrete group G. Such operators arise in various problems in differential equations and mathematical physics, for example, in Sobolev problems. We show that the trace of a G-operator on a submanifold is the sum of a pseudodifferential operator on the submanifold and a G-operator concentrated on a sub-submanifold.     

The Index of Cusp Operators on Manifolds with Corners

We recall a Fredholm criterion for fully elliptic cusp(pseudo)differential operators on a compact manifold with corners ofarbitrary codimension, acting on suitable Sobolev spaces. Then we give aformula for the index in terms of regularized `trace' functionalssimilar to the residue trace of Wodzicki and Guillemin.
