Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We study the vacuum expectation value of an operator Q by studying Tr Qe^{-tD}, where D is an operator of Laplace type on M, and where Q is a second order operator with scalar…
This paper develops some deeper consequences of an extended definition, proposed previously by the author, of pseudo-differential operators that are of type $1,1$ in H\"ormander's sense. Thus, it contributes to the long-standing problem of…
We consider a class of degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, of the kind [\mathcal{A}\equiv\sum_{i,j=1}^{p_{0}}a_{ij}(x) \partial_{x_{i}x_{j}}^{2}+\sum_{i,j=1}^{N}b_{ij}x_{i}\partial_{x_{j}}%] where $(a_{ij})$ is…
The paper is devoted to establishing relationships between global and local monotonicity, as well as their maximality versions, for single-valued and set-valued mappings between finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces. We first…
We study the spectrum of the Dirac operator $D$ on pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds of signature $(p,q)$, considered as an unbounded operator in the Hilbert space $L^2_\xi(S)$. The definition of $L^2_\xi(S)$ involves the choice of a…
Let A be a von Neumann algebra with a finite trace $\tau$, represented in $H=L^2(A,\tau)$, and let $B_t\subset A$ be sub-algebras, for $t$ in an interval $I$. Let $E_t:A\to B_t$ be the unique $\tau$-preserving conditional expectation. We…
We prove an index theorem for inhomogeneous differential operators satisfying the Rockland condition (hence hypoelliptic). This theorem extends an index theorem for contact manifolds by Van-Erp.
In this article, we present a simpler and alternative proof of the solvability of the regularity problem - that is, the Dirichlet problem with boundary data in $\dot W^{1,p}$ - for uniformly elliptic operators on $\mathbb{R}^n_+$ under a…
We study underdetermined-elliptic linear partial differential operators $P$ on asymptotically Euclidean manifolds, such as the divergence operator on 1-forms or symmetric 2-tensors. Suitably interpreted, these are instances of (weighted)…
An elliptic theory is constructed for operators acting in subspaces defined via odd pseudodifferential projections. Subspaces of this type arise as Calderon subspaces for first order elliptic differential operators on manifolds with…
For discrete spectrum of 1D second-order differential/difference operators (with or without potential (killing), with the maximal/minimal domain), a pair of unified dual criteria are presented in terms of two explicit measures and the…
In this paper, we introduce some adaptive methods for solving variational inequalities with relatively strongly monotone operators. Firstly, we focus on the modification of the recently proposed, in smooth case [1], adaptive numerical…
This paper investigates realisations of elliptic differential operators of general order on manifolds with boundary following the approach of B\"ar-Ballmann to first order elliptic operators. The space of possible boundary values of…
This is an expository article. It discusses an approach to hypoelliptic Fredholm index theory based on noncommutative methods (groupoids, C*-algebras, K-theory). The paper starts with an explicit index theorem for scalar second order…
The main result established in this paper is the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the obstacle problem for a class of subelliptic operators in non-divergence form. The operators considered are structured on a set of smooth…
An operator satisfies the Global Comparison Property if anytime a function touches another from above at some point, then the operator preserves the ordering at the point of contact. This is characteristic of degenerate elliptic operators,…
We consider one-dimensional inhomogeneous parabolic equations with higher-order elliptic differential operators subject to periodic boundary conditions. In our main result we show that the property of continuous maximal regularity is…
