Elliptic complexes on manifolds with boundary

We show that elliptic complexes of (pseudo)differential operators on smooth compact manifolds with boundary can always be complemented to a Fredholm problem by boundary conditions involving global pseudodifferential projections on the boundary (similarly as the spectral boundary conditions of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer for a single operator). We prove that boundary conditions without projections can be chosen if, and only if, the topological Atiyah-Bott obstruction vanishes. These results make use of a Fredholm theory for complexes of operators in algebras of generalized pseudodifferential operators of Toeplitz type which we also develop in the present paper.

The singular functions of branching edge asymptotics

We investigate the structure of branching asymptotics appearing in solutions to elliptic edge problems. The exponents in powers of the half-axis variable, logarithmic terms, and coefficients depend on the variables on the edge and may be branching.

Asymptotic Parametrices of Elliptic Edge Operators

We study operators on a singular manifold, here of conical or edge type, and develop a new general approach of representing asymptotics of solutions to elliptic equations close to the singularities. The idea is to construct so-called asymptotic parametrices with flat left -over terms. Our structures are motivated by models of particle physics with singular potentials that contribute embedded singularities in $\R^N$ of higher order, according to the number of particles.

Cone and edge calculus with discrete asymptotics

This investigation is devoted to the program to characterise continuous and variable discrete asymptotics of solutions to elliptic equations on a manifold with edge, continued in a cicle of forthcoming expositions [15], [16]. The structure of continuous and variable discrete (in general branch- ing) asymptotics is very complex. Therefore, in order to make things more transparent we present here the approach first in the special constant di- screte case, based on meromorphic Mellin symbols.

Parameter-dependent Edge Operators

We study parameter-dependent operators on a manifold with edge and construct new classes of elliptic elements in the corner calculus on an infinite cone with a singular base

The iterative Structure of Corner Operators

We give a brief survey on some new developments on elliptic operators on manifolds with polyhedral singularities. The material essentially corresponds to a talk given by the author during the Conference "Elliptic and Hyperbolic Equations on Singular Spaces", October 27 - 31, 2008, at the MSRI, University of Berkeley.

Green Operators in the Edge Calculus

The task to construct parametrices of elliptic differential operators on a manifold with edges requires a calculus of operators with a two-component principal symbolic hierarchy, consisting of (edge-degenerate) interior and (operator-valued) edge symbols. This so-called edge-algebra can be interpreted as a generalisation of the (pseudo-differential) algebra of boundary value problems without the transmission property at the boundary. We study new properties of the edge-algebra, in particular, what concerns the role of Green operators and their kernel representations.

On the Homotopy Classification of Elliptic Operators on Manifolds with Edges

We obtain a classification of elliptic operators modulo stable homotopy on manifolds with edges (this is in some sense the simplest class of manifolds with nonisolated singularities). We show that the operators are classified by the K-homology group of the manifold. To this end, we construct exact sequence in elliptic theory isomorphic to the K-homology exact sequence. The main part of the proof is the computation of the boundary map using semiclassical quantization.

Elliptic operators in subspaces and the eta invariant

The spectral eta-invariant of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a closed manifold is rigid, provided that the parity of the order is opposite to the parity of dimension of the manifold. The paper deals with the calculation of the fractional part of the eta-invariant in this case. The method used to obtain the corresponding formula is based on the index theorem for elliptic operators in subspaces. It also utilizes K-theory with coefficients Z_n. In particular, it is shown that the group K(T^*M,Z_n) is realized by elliptic operators (symbols) acting in appropriate subspaces.
