The aim of this paper is to present the construction, out of the Kohn-Rossi complex, of a new hypoelliptic operator $Q_{L}$ on almost CR manifolds equipped with a real structure. The operator acts on all (p,q)-forms, but when restricted to…

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…

Let $G$ be a non-compact simple Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Denote with $m(\mathfrak{g})$ the dimension of the smallest non-trivial $\mathfrak{g}$-module with an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form. For an…

We investigate elliptic operators with a symmetry that forces their index to vanish. We study the secondary index, defined modulo 2. We examine Callias-type operators with this symmetry on non-compact manifolds and establish mod 2 versions…

In the paper we consider the theory of elliptic operators acting in subspaces defined by pseudodifferential projections. This theory on closed manifolds is connected with the theory of boundary value problems for operators violating…

Let $G= \exp(\g)$ be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group. We show that for every $G$-invariant smooth sub-manifold $M$ of $g^*$, there exists an open relatively compact subset $\mathcal{M}$ of $M$ such that for any smooth…

The spectral eta-invariant of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a closed manifold is rigid, provided that the parity of the order is opposite to the parity of dimension of the manifold. The paper deals with the calculation of…

Motivated by applications to stochastic differential equations, an extension of H\"{o}rmander's hypoellipticity theorem is proved for second-order degenerate elliptic operators with non-smooth coefficients. The main results are established…

A commuting pair of operators (S, P) on a Hilbert space H is said to be a Gamma-contraction if the symmetrized bidisc is a spectral set of the tuple (S, P). In this paper we develop some operator theory inspired by Agler and Young's results…

We apply the Atiyah-Singer index theorem and tensor products of elliptic complexes to the cohomology of transitive Lie algebroids. We prove that the Euler characteristic of a representation of a transitive Lie algebroid $A$ over a compact…

We study the functional calculus associated with a hypoelliptic left-invariant differential operator $\mathcal{L}$ on a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$ with the aid of the corresponding \emph{Rockland} operator…

A topological group is (openly) almost-elliptic if it contains a(n open) dense subset of elements generating relatively-compact cyclic subgroups. We classify the (openly) almost-elliptic connected locally compact groups as precisely those…

Let $X$ be a compact strictly pseudoconvex embeddable CR manifold and let $T_P$ be the Toeplitz operator on $X$ associated with some first order pseudodifferential operator $P$. We consider $\chi_k(T_P)$ the functional calculus of $T_P$ by…

Let $H$ be the symmetric second-order differential operator on $L_2(\Ri)$ with domain $C_c^\infty(\Ri)$ and action $H\varphi=-(c \varphi')'$ where $ c\in W^{1,2}_{\rm loc}(\Ri)$ is a real function which is strictly positive on…

For a class of non-selfadjoint semiclassical pseudodifferential operators with double characteristics, we study bounds for resolvents and estimates for low lying eigenvalues. Specifically, assuming that the quadratic approximations of the…

A $(p,q)$-double form on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ can be considered simultaneously as a vector-valued differential $p$-form over $M$ or alternatively as a vector-valued $q$-form. Accordingly, the usual Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on…

We prove the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem for a large class of divisors on surfaces in positive characteristic. By using this vanishing theorem, Reider-type theorems and extension theorems of morphisms for normal surfaces are…

We prove that the realization $A_p$ in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N),\,1<p<\infty$, of the elliptic operator $A=(1+|x|^{\alpha})\Delta+b|x|^{\alpha-1}\frac{x}{|x|}\cdot \nabla-c|x|^{\beta}$ with domain $D(A_p) =\{ u \in W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)\, |\, Au…

We show that to each symmetric elliptic operator of the form \[ \mathcal{A} = - \sum \partial_k \, a_{kl} \, \partial_l + c \] on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ one can associate a self-adjoint Dirichlet-to-Neumann…
