Abstract

Let XX be a compact manifold with boundary. Suppose that the boundary is fibred, ϕ:\paXY,\phi:\pa X\longrightarrow Y, and let x\CI(X)x\in\CI(X) be a boundary defining function. This data fixes the space of `fibred cusp' vector fields, consisting of those vector fields VV on XX satisfying Vx=O(x2)Vx=O(x^2) and which are tangent to the fibres of ϕ;\phi; it is a Lie algebra and \CI(X)\CI(X) module. This Lie algebra is quantized to the `small calculus' of pseudodifferential operators \PsiF(X).\PsiF*(X). Mapping properties including boundedness, regularity, Fredholm condition and symbolic maps are discussed for this calculus. The spectrum of the Laplacian of an `exact fibred cusp' metric is analyzed as is the wavefront set associated to the calculus.
