We study boundary value problems for linear elliptic differential operators of order one. The underlying manifold may be noncompact, but the boundary is assumed to be compact. We require a symmetry property of the principal symbol of the…

We prove a general black box result which produces algebras of pseudodifferential operators (ps.d.o.s) on noncompact manifolds, together with a precise principal symbol calculus. Our construction (which also applies in parameter-dependent…

In this paper, we define in an intrinsic way operators on a compact Lie group by means of symbols using the representations of the group. The main purpose is to show that these operators form a symbolic pseudo-differential calculus which…

In this paper we prove a $K$-homology index theorem for the Toeplitz operators obtained from the multishifts of the Bergman space on several classes of egg-like domains. This generalizes our theorem with Douglas and Yu on the unit ball.

Consider an elliptic self-adjoint pseudodifferential operator $A$ acting on $m$-columns of half-densities on a closed manifold $M$, whose principal symbol is assumed to have simple eigenvalues. Relying on a basis of pseudodifferential…

In this note we present a symbolic pseudo-differential calculus on graded nilpotent Lie groups and, as an application, a version of the sharp Garding inequality. As a corollary, we obtain lower bounds for positive Rockland operators with…

We give an index formula for the class of all *-maximally hypoelliptic differential operators on any closed manifold with vector bundle coefficients, generalising previous index formulas by Atiyah-Singer and van Erp. Using this formula, we…
