The resolvent algebra $\mathcal{R}(X, \sigma)$ associated to a symplectic space $(X, \sigma)$ was introduced by D. Buchholz and H. Grundling as a convenient model of the canonical commutation relation (CCR) in quantum mechanics. We first…

We show that any generalised smooth distribution on a smooth manifold, possibly of non-constant rank, admits a Riemannian metric. Using such a metric, we attach a Laplace operator to any smooth distribution as such. When the underlying…

We consider scattering by general compactly supported semi-classical perturbations of the Euclidean Laplace-Beltrami operator. We show that if the suitably cut-off resolvent of the Hamiltonian quantizes a Lagrangian relation on the product…

Suppose that $\lambda - T$ is left-invertible in $L(H)$ for all $\lambda \in \Omega$, where $\Omega$ is an open subset of the complex plane. Then an operator-valued function $L(\lambda)$ is a left resolvent of $T$ in $\Omega$ if and only if…

We prove a semiclassical resolvent estimate for a broad class of non-self-adjoint, non-elliptic pseudodifferential operators in the low-lying spectral regime. The proof relies on improved ellipticity properties for the symbol of the…
