Solvability of subprincipal type operators
Abstract
In this paper we consider the solvability of pseudodifferential operators in the case when the principal symbol vanishes of order at a nonradial involutive manifold . We shall assume that the operator is of subprincipal type, which means that the :th inhomogeneous blowup at of the refined principal symbol is of principal type with Hamilton vector field parallel to the base , but transversal to the symplectic leaves of at the characteristics. When this blowup reduces to the subprincipal symbol. We also assume that the blowup is essentially constant on the leaves of , and does not satisfying the Nirenberg-Treves condition (). We also have conditions on the vanishing of the normal gradient and the Hessian of the blowup at the characteristics. Under these conditions, we show that is not solvable.
