# On the Homotopy Classification of Elliptic Operators on Manifolds with Edges

04/2005;
Source: arXiv

ABSTRACT 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.

##### Article: Pseudo-dieren tial Calculus on Manifolds with Geometric Singularities
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dieren tial and pseudo-dieren tial operators on a manifold with (regular) geometric singularities can be studied within a calculus, inspired by the concept of classical pseudo-dieren tial operators on a C1 manifold. In the singular case the operators form an algebra with a principal symbolic hierarchy = ( j)0 j k, with k being the order of the singularity and k operator-valued for k 1. The symbols de- termine ellipticity and the nature of parametrices. It is typical in this theory that, similarly as in boundary value problems (which are special edge problems, where the edge is just the boundary), there are trace, potential and Green operators, associated with the various strata of the conguration. The operators, obtained from the symbols by various quantisations, act in weighted distribution spaces with multiple weights. We outline some essential elements of this calculus, give examples and also comment on new challenges and interesting problems of the recent development.

ABSTRACT: Dierential and pseudo-dierentia l operators on a manifold with (regular) geometric singularities can be studied within a calculus, in- spired by the concept of classical pseudo-dierentia l operators on a C1 manifold. In the singular case the operators form an algebra with a principal symbolic hierarchy = ( j)0 j k, with k being the order of the singularity and k operator-valued for k 1. The symbols de- termine ellipticity and the nature of parametrices. It is typical in this theory that, similarly as in boundary value problems (which are special edge problems, where the edge is just the boundary), there are trace, potential and Green operators, associated with the various strata of the configuration. The operators, obtained from the symbols by var- ious quantisations, act in weighted distribution spaces with multiple weights. We outline some essential elements of this calculus, give ex- amples and also comment on new challenges and interesting problems of the recent development.

##### Chapter: Pseudodifferential Analysis on Manifolds with Boundary — a Comparison of b-Calculus and Cone Algebra
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We establish a relation between two different approaches to a complete pseudodifferential analysis of totally characteristic or Fuchs type operators on compact manifolds with boundary respectively conical singularities: Melrose’s (overblown) b-calculus and Schulze’s cone algebra. Though quite different in their definition, we show that these two pseudodifferential calculi basically contain the same operators.
