Abstract

Let AA be an elliptic pseudo-differential operator of order mm on a closed manifold X\mathcal{X} of dimension n>0n>0, formally positive self-adjoint with respect to some positive smooth density dμXd\mu_\mathcal{X}. Then, the spectrum of AA is made up of a sequence of eigenvalues (λk)k1(\lambda_k)_{k\geq 1} whose corresponding eigenfunctions (ek)k1(e_k)_{k\geq 1} are CC^\infty smooth. Fix sRs\in\mathbb{R} and define KLs(x,y)=0<λkLλksek(x)ek(y). K_L^s(x,y)=\sum_{0<\lambda_k\leq L}\lambda_k^{-s} e_k(x)\overline{e_k(y)}\, . We derive asymptotic formulae near the diagonal for the kernels KLs(x,y)K_L^s(x,y) when L+L\rightarrow +\infty with fixed ss. For s=0s=0, KL0K^0_L is the kernel of the spectral projector studied by H\"ormander in \cite{ho68}. In the present work we build on H\"ormander's result to study the kernels KLsK^s_L. If s<nms<\frac{n}{m}, KLsK_L^s is of order Ls+n/mL^{-s+n/m} and near the diagonal, the rescaled leading term behaves like the Fourier transform of an explicit function of the symbol of AA. If s=nms=\frac{n}{m}, under some explicit generic condition on the principal symbol of AA, which holds if AA is a differential operator, the kernel has order ln(L)\ln(L) and the leading term has a logarithmic divergence smoothed at scale L1/mL^{-1/m}. Our results also hold for elliptic differential Dirichlet eigenvalue problems.
