The purpose of this note is to extend the results of V. Guillemin on elliptic self-adjoint pseudodifferential operators of order one, from operators defined on smooth functions on a closed manifold to operators defined on smooth sections in…

We obtain a classification of elliptic operators modulo stable homotopy on manifolds with edges (this is in some sense the simplest class of manifolds with nonisolated singularities). We show that the operators are classified by the…

Let ${\cal F}\_\lambda(S^1)$ be the space of tensor densities of degree (or weight) $\lambda$ on the circle $S^1$. The space ${\cal D}^k\_{\lambda,\mu}(S^1)$ of $k$-th order linear differential operators from ${\cal F}\_\lambda(S^1)$ to…

Formally symmetric differential operators on weighted Hardy-Hilbert spaces are analyzed, along with adjoint pairs of differential operators. Eigenvalue problems for such operators are rather special, but include many of the classical…

We construct analogues of the Hecke operators for the moduli space of G-bundles on a curve X over a local field F with parabolic structures at finitely many points. We conjecture that they define commuting compact normal operators on the…

We consider the operator algebra generated by pseudodifferential operators on a closed smooth surface and shift operator induced by a Morse--Smale diffeomorphism of this surface. Elements in this algebra are considered as operators in the…

Let X be a closed connected contact manifold. On X there is a naturally arising class of hypoelliptic (but not elliptic) operators which are Fredholm. In this paper we solve the index problem for this class of operators. The solution is…

We define a second-order differential operator $\hat{C}$ on the Hilbert space $L^2([-v_c, v_c])$, constructed from a smooth deformation function $C(v)$. The operator is considered on the Sobolev domain $H^2([-v_c, v_c]) \cap H^1_0([-v_c,…

The space of entire functions which are integrable with respect to the Gaussian weight, known also as the Fock space, is one of the preferred functional Hilbert spaces for modelling and experimenting harmonic analysis, quantum mechanics or…

It is shown that the class of Fredholm operators over an arbitrary unital $C^{*}$--algebra, which may not admit adjoint ones, can be extended in such a way that this class of compact operators, used in the definition of the class of…

Using the unbounded picture of analytical K-homology, we associate a well-defined K-homology class to an unbounded symmetric operator satisfying certain mild technical conditions. We also establish an ``addition formula'' for the Dirac…

We study the ring of differential operators D(X) on the basic affine space X=G/U of a complex semisimple group G with maximal unipotent subgroup U. One of the main results shows that the cohomology group H^*(X,O_X) decomposes as a finite…

For an arbitrary Riemannian manifold $X$ and Hermitian vector bundles $E$ and $F$ over $X$ we define the notion of the normal symbol of a pseudodifferential operator $P$ from $E$ to $F$. The normal symbol of $P$ is a certain smooth function…

We study the Fredholm properties of a general class of elliptic differential operators on $\R^n$. These results are expressed in terms of a class of weighted function spaces, which can be locally modeled on a wide variety of standard…

For a certain class of complexes of pre-Hilbert $A$-modules, we prove that their cohomology groups equipped with a canonical quotient structure are again pre-Hilbert $A$-modules and derive the Hodge decomposition for them. We call these…

We compute the equivariant cohomology Chern character of the index of elliptic operators along the leaves of the foliation of a flat bundle. The proof is based on the study of certain algebras of pseudodifferential operators and uses…

We study the index theory of hypoelliptic operators on Carnot manifolds -- manifolds whose Lie algebra of vector fields is equipped with a filtration induced from sub-bundles of the tangent bundle. A Heisenberg pseudodifferential operator,…

Let $C$ be a conjugation on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. A densely defined linear operator $A$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is called $C$-symmetric if $CAC\subseteq A^*$ and $C$-self-adjoint if $CAC=A^*$. Our main results describe all…

Indicial operators are model operators associated to an elliptic differential operator near a corner singularity on a stratified manifold. These model operators are defined on generalized tangent cone configurations and exhibit a natural…

In this paper, we will look at the algebra of global differential operators $D_X$ on wonderful compactifications $X$ of symmetric spaces $G/H$ of type $A_1$ and $A_2$. We will first construct a global differential operator on these…
