Pseudodifferential operators arise naturally in a solution of boundary problems for partial differential equations. The formalism of these operators serves to make the Fourier-Laplace method applicable for nonconstant coefficient equations. This book presents the technique of pseudodifferential operators and its applications, especially to the Dirac theory of quantum mechanics. The treatment uses 'Leibniz formulas' with integral remainders or as asymptotic series. While a pseudodifferential operator is commonly defined by an integral formula, it also may be described by invariance under action of a Lie group. The author discusses connections to the theory of C*-algebras, invariant algebras of pseudodifferential operators under hyperbolic evolution, and the relation of the hyperbolic theory to the propagation of maximal ideals. The Technique of Pseudodifferential Operators will be of particular interest to researchers in partial differential equations and mathematical physics.
The main aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the concept of comparison algebra, defined as a type of C*-algebra of singular integral operators. The first part of the book develops the necessary elements of the spectral theory of differential operators as well as the basic properties of elliptic second order differential operators. The author then introduces comparison algebras and describes their theory in L2-spaces and L2-Soboler spaces, and in particular their importance in solving functional analytic problems involving differential operators. The book is based on lectures given in Sweden and the USA.
This work presents a Clean Quantum Theory of the Electron, based on Dirac’s equation. "Clean" in the sense of a complete mathematical explanation of the well known paradoxes of Dirac’s theory and a connection to classical theory. It discusses the existence of an accurate split between physical states belonging to the electron and to the positron as well as the fact that precisely predictable observables must preserve this split.
The volume in hand contains a selection from the numerous contributions dedicated to Professor Dr. Gottfried Köthe on the occasion of his 60th birthday. This selection only takes into consideration the papers on Functional Analysis as far as they have reached us in time to be included in the volume. All of these papers have been published in [the journal] "Mathematische Annalen", volume 162.
