We extend the method of layer potentials to manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. To obtain this extension along the classical lines, we have to deal with several technical difficulties due to the non-compactness of the boundary,…
We introduce two new classes of pseudo-differential operators on open curves. They correspond via a change of variables to subclasses of the periodic pseudo-differential operators, which respectively stabilize even and odd functions. The…
We consider layer potentials associated to elliptic operators $Lu=-{\rm div}(A \nabla u)$ acting in the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+$ for $n\geq 2$, or more generally, in a Lipschitz graph domain, where the coefficient matrix $A$ is…
We prove the invertibility of the relevant single and double layer potentials associated to some generalizations of the Stokes operator on bounded domains. In order to do that, we first develop an ``algebra tool kit'' to deal with limit and…
We prove that the double layer potential operator and the gradient of the single layer potential operator are L_2 bounded for general second order divergence form systems. As compared to earlier results, our proof shows that the bounds for…

As a simple model for lattice defects like grain boundaries in solid state physics we consider potentials which are obtained from a periodic potential $V = V(x,y)$ on $\R^2$ with period lattice $\Z^2$ by setting $W_t(x,y) = V(x+t,y)$ for $x…
We study the effect of regular and singular domain perturbations on layer potential operators for the Laplace equation. First, we consider layer potentials supported on a diffeomorphic image $\phi(\partial\Omega)$ of a reference set…
