On a 6-dimensional, conformal, oriented, compact manifold $M$ without boundary, we compute a whole family of differential forms $\Omega_6(f,h)$ of order 6, with $f,h \in C^\infty(M).$ Each of these forms will be symmetric on $f,$ and $h,$…

For an even dimensional, compact, conformal manifold without boundary we construct a conformally invariant differential operator of order the dimension of the manifold. In the conformally flat case, this operator coincides with the critical…

In [3], Connes found a conformal invariant using Wodzicki's 1-density and computed it in the case of 4-dimensional manifold without boundary. In [14], Ugalde generalized the Connes' result to $n$-dimensional manifold without boundary. In…

The Wodzicki residue is the unique trace on the algebra of classical pseudodifferential operators on a closed manifold, and Connes in 1988 proved that it coincides with the Dixmier trace. A Carnot manifold is a manifold $M$ whose tangent…

For compact real manifolds, a new double conformal invariant is constructed using the Wodzicki residue and the $d$ operator in the framework of Connes. In the flat case, we compute this double conformal invariant, and in some special cases,…

We provide Fredholm conditions for compatible differential operators on certain Lie manifolds (that is, on certain possibly non-compact manifolds with nice ends). We discuss in more detail the case of manifolds with cylindrical, hyperbolic,…

Given a compact manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$, in this paper we introduce a global symbolic calculus of pseudo-differential operators associated to $(M,\partial M)$. The symbols of operators with boundary conditions on $\partial…

The study of certain differential operators between Sobolev spaces of sections of vector bundles on compact manifolds equipped with rough metric is closely related to the study of locally Sobolev functions on domains in the Euclidean space.…

This work seeks to advance the understanding of the smooth structure of the moduli space of self-dual contact instantons (SDCI) on Sasakian 7-manifolds M. A neighborhood of a smooth point of M is locally modeled on the first cohomological…
