Spectral analysis of pseudodifferential operators

Symplectic inverse spectral theory for pseudodifferential operators

We prove, under some generic assumptions, that the semiclassical spectrum modulo O(~) of a one dimensional pseudodifferential operator completely determines the symplectic geometry of the underlying classical system. In particular, the spectrum determines the hamiltonian dynamics of the principal symbol.

Composition and Spectral Invariance of Pseudodifferential Operators on Modulation Spaces

We introduce new classes of Banach algebras of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in certain modulation spaces and investigate their composition and the functional calculus. Operators in these algebras possess the spectral invariance property on the associated family of modulation spaces. These results extend and contain Sjöstrand’s theory, and they are obtained with new phase space meth...

Pseudodifferential Operators

The study of pseudodifferential operators emerged in the 1960’s, having its origins in the study of singular integro-differential operators. In fact, Friedrichs and Lax coined the term “pseudodifferential operator” in their 1965 paper entitled “Boundary Value Problems for First Order Operators”. Since that time, pseudodifferential operators have proved useful in many arenas of modern analysis a...

Spectral Invariance for Pseudodifferential Operators on Function Spaces

Integral Operators, Pseudodifferential Operators, and Gabor Frames

This chapter illustrates the use of Gabor frame analysis to derive results on the spectral properties of integral and pseudodifferential operators. In particular, we obtain a sufficient condition on the kernel of an integral operator or the symbol of a pseudodifferential operator which implies that the operator is trace-class. This result significantly improves a sufficient condition due to Dau...
