First, we review the Dirac operator folklore about basic analytic and geometrical properties of operators of Dirac type on compact manifolds with smooth boundary and on closed partitioned manifolds and show how these properties depend on…
I study a special type of canonical relations given by twisted conormal bundles, construct a "subcategory" of the symplectic "category" out of these canonical relations and quantize them into semi-classical Fourier integral operators.…
We study the global hypoellipticity and solvability of strongly invariant operators and systems of strongly invariant operators on closed manifolds. Our approach is based on the Fourier analysis induced by an elliptic pseudo-differential…
In this article, we analyze the microlocal properties of the linearized forward scattering operator $F$ and the normal operator $F^{*}F$ (where $F^{*}$ is the $L^{2}$ adjoint of $F$) which arises in Synthetic Aperture Radar imaging for the…
We prove an index theorem for families of pseudodifferential operators generalizing those studied by C. Callias, N. Anghel and others. Specifically, we consider operators on a manifold with boundary equipped with an asymptotically conic…
Modular operads are a special type of operad: in fact, they bear the same relationship to operads that graphs do to trees (i.e. simply connected graphs). One of the basic examples of a modular operad is the collection of…
On filtered manifolds one can define a different notion of order for the differential operators. In this paper, we use generalized fixed point algebras to construct a pseudodifferential extension that reflects this behaviour. In the…
We consider the operator $F(u) = u' + f(t,u(t))$ acting on periodic real valued functions. Generically, critical points of $F$ are infinite dimensional Morin-like singularities and we provide operational characterizations of the…
The object of this study is an integral operator $\mathcal{S}$ which averages functions in the Euclidean upper half-space $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$ over the half-spheres centered on the topological boundary $\partial \mathbb{R}_{+}^{n}$. By…
We formulate, for any Lie group G acting isometrically on a manifold M, the general notion of a G-equivariant elliptic operator that is invertible outside of a G-cocompact subset of M. We prove a version of the Rellich lemma for this…
We formulate and prove the existence and uniqueness of the generalized Fourier transform associated with the absolutely continuous part of an arbitrary selfadjoint operator on a separable Hilbert space. To this end we develop a novel method…
The spectral decomposition for an explicit second-order differential operator $T$ is determined. The spectrum consists of a continuous part with multiplicity two, a continuous part with multiplicity one, and a finite discrete part with…
Essential to QCD applications of the operator product expansion, etc., is a knowledge of those operators that mix with gauge-invariant operators. A standard theorem asserts that the renormalization matrix is triangular: Gauge-invariant…
This PhD dissertation is concerned with integral geometric inverse problems. The geodesic ray transform is an operator that encodes the line integrals of a function along geodesics. The dissertation establishes many conditions when such…
We revisit miscellaneous linear differential operators mostly associated with lattice Green functions in arbitrary dimensions, but also Calabi-Yau operators and order-seven operators corresponding to exceptional differential Galois groups.…
We show that the noncommutative residue density, resp. the cut-off regularised integral are the only closed linear, resp. continuous closed linear forms on certain classes of symbols. This leads to alternative proofs of the uniqueness of…
This paper demonstrates the power of the calculus developed in the two previous parts of the series for all real forms of the almost Hermitian symmetric structures on smooth manifolds, including e.g. conformal Riemannian and almost…
We show that the geodesic ray transform is injective on scalar functions on spherically symmetric reversible Finsler manifolds where the Finsler norm satisfies a Herglotz condition. We use angular Fourier series to reduce the injectivity…
Let V be a unitary space. Suppose G is a subgroup of the full symmetric group S_m and X is an irreducible unitary representation of G. In this paper, we introduce the generalized Cartesian symmetry class over V associated with G and X. Then…
In this article, we examine the geometry of a group of Fourier-integral operators, which is the central extension of $Diff(S^1)$ with a group of classical pseudo-differential operators of any order. Several subgroups are considered, and the…
