Vector Valued G\aa rding Inequality for pseudo-differential operators on compact homogeneous manifolds

Abstract

We prove sufficient conditions in order to obtain a sharp G\aa rding inequality for pseudo-differential operators acting on vector-valued functions on compact Lie groups. As a consequence, we obtain a sharp G\aa rding inequality for compact homogeneous vector bundles and compact homogeneous manifolds. The sharp G\aa rding inequality is the strongest lower bound estimate known to hold for systems on $\mathbb{R}^n$, and the aim of this paper is to extend this property to systems on compact Lie groups and compact homogeneous manifolds. Our results extend previous works by Lax and Nirenberg [Comm. Pure Appl. Math., Vol. 8, 129-209, (1966)], and by Ruzhansky and Turunen [J. Funct. Anal., Vol. 267, 144-172, (2011)]. As an application, we establish existence and uniqueness of solution to a class of systems of initial value problems of pseudo-differential equations on compact Lie groups and compact homogeneous manifolds.
