Abstract

For d3d\geq 3 we give an example of a constant coefficient surjective differential operator P(D):D(X)D(X)P(D):\mathscr{D}'(X)\rightarrow\mathscr{D}'(X) over some open subset XRdX\subset\R^d such that P+(D):D(X×R)D(X×R)P^+(D):\mathscr{D}'(X\times\R)\rightarrow\mathscr{D}'(X\times\R) is not surjective, where P+(x1,...,xd+1):=P(x1,...,xd)P^+(x_1,...,x_{d+1}):=P(x_1,...,x_d). This answers in the negative a problem posed by Bonet and Doma\'nski in \cite[Problem 9.1]{Bonet}.
