So in some sense,we have to study how to “glue" local pseudodifferential operators to global ones.As we have seen last time, for differential operators it is easy to get global oper-ators from local ones, because of the locality of differential operators. In general,pseudodifferential operators does not satisfy locality.For example, one can look atthe Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator A in PSet 2, which is by definition the map thatsends the Dirichlet boundary value of a Harmonic function on Rn+1 to its Neumannboundary value. It is easy to find f e C(Rn) with f = 0 on an open subset U inIRn, while A(f) + 0 on U.Fortunately, although locality fails, we do have a weaker version of locality forpseudodifferential operators, namely,thepseudolocality.Roughly speaking,localitytells us that the value Au(r) at a point r is determined by the values u(y) for y nearr,while pseudolocality tells us that the value Au(r)is determined, modulo O(h)(which is negligible in semiclassical analysis), by the values u(y) for y near r. Tosee the pseudolocality of A = aw, we just start with the definition of aw, namely1et(r-w)sa(“,)u(y)dyaWu(r) :(2元h)nJR2and noticethat away from the diagonal,namely in theregion r-yl> C (whichcan be produced by multiplying uby a cut-off function that is supported away fromthe point r), one can produce as many h's as we want via integration by parts usinget(c-)s =h(α-) Dset(a-)s.[-y12Pseudolocality can also be explained as follows.

LECTURE 20: SEMI-CLASSICAL PSDOS ON MANIFOLDS 1. Semiclassical PsDOs under coordinate change ¶ Pseudolocality. As we have mentioned several times, we want to extend the theory of semiclassical pseudodifferential operators from R n to smooth manifolds. So in some sense, we have to study how to “glue” local pseudodifferential operators to global ones. As we have seen last time, for differential operators it is easy to get global operators from local ones, because of the locality of differential operators. In general, pseudodifferential operators does not satisfy locality. For example, one can look at the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator Λ in PSet 2, which is by definition the map that sends the Dirichlet boundary value of a Harmonic function on R n+1 + to its Neumann boundary value. It is easy to find f ∈ C ∞(R n ) with f ≡ 0 on an open subset U in R n , while Λ(f) 6= 0 on U. Fortunately, although locality fails, we do have a weaker version of locality for pseudodifferential operators, namely, the pseudolocality. Roughly speaking, locality tells us that the value Au(x) at a point x is determined by the values u(y) for y near x, while pseudolocality tells us that the value Au(x) is determined, modulo O(~ ∞) (which is negligible in semiclassical analysis), by the values u(y) for y near x. To see the pseudolocality of A = ba W , we just start with the definition of ba W , namely ba W u(x) = 1 (2π~) n Z Rn e i ~ (x−y)·ξ a( x + y 2 , ξ)u(y)dy and notice that away from the diagonal, namely in the region |x − y| > C (which can be produced by multiplying u by a cut-off function that is supported away from the point x), one can produce as many ~’s as we want via integration by parts using e i ~ (x−y)·ξ = ~ (x − y) · Dξ |x − y| 2 e i ~ (x−y)·ξ . Pseudolocality can also be explained as follows. Suppose a ∈ S(m) and suppose χ1, χ2 ∈ C ∞ 0 (R n ) are two cut-off functions such that supp(χ1) ∩ supp(χ2) = ∅. Then (c.f. PSet 3) χ1ba W χ2 = O(~ ∞). So if we take χ1 to be a cut-off function supported near x (which equals 1 in a small neighborhood of x) and take χ2 to be a cut-off function supported away, then the effect of the value of u in the support of χ2 is negligible in computing ba W u(x). 1

However, wecan't define P to be the operator (f-1)*Plu f*, since pseudodifferential operators arenot local and thus Plu makes no sense.The solution to this issue is straightforward:instead of localizetheoperator, we“globalize"thefunctions.Howdowe“globalize"alocally defined function?Multiply it by a cut-offfunction!More precisely,supposex E Co(V), then we have mapsf*Mx : (Rn) -→ Co(U) C Co(Rn) C (Rn)andMx(f-1)* : 9(Rr) CC(Rn) -→ Co(Rn) C S(Rn)which extends to mapsf*Mx : '(R") -→9(Rn)andMx(f-1)*: (R")-→(R).So given any pseudodifferential operator P on Rn, which, for simplicity, weassume its Kohn-Nirenberg symbol is a, namely P = akN (for a in some symbolclass), and given any cut-off function x E Co(V), we can define Px : (Rn)→S(Rr) (and Px:(R)-g(R) by(1)P, = Mx(f-1)*Pf*Mx.IGiven a tempered distribution u e (R,) and a compactly supported function x= x(y), wecan extend Mx to Mx : '(R) - g(R) defined by(Mxu,p) := (u, Mxp),VpE(R).The definition of pull-back of distribution is a bit complicated: Given any diffeomorphism f : U →V, one has the pull-back map on functions, f* : Co(V) -→ Co(U). By duality, we get a linearmap f:(U)→(V),called thepush-forward, definedby(f+u, p) := (u, f*p).Moreover, it can be shown that the restriction of f to Co(U) is a continuous linear map fromCo(U) to Co(V). By duality again, we get a pull-back map, now defined on distributions,f*:'(V)-→'(U).[For pull-back by submersions, c.f.Theorem 6.1.2 in Hormander, Vol 1.]
2 LECTURE 20: SEMI-CLASSICAL PSDOS ON MANIFOLDS ¶ Semiclassical PsDOs under coordinate change. So we still want to study the change of semiclassical pseudodifferential operator under coordinate change. Again we start with a diffeomorphism f : U ⊂ R n x → V ⊂ R n y where we always assume |∂ α f|, |∂ α f −1 | ≤ Cα, ∀α, and again we want to use f to “transplant”, now a pseudodifferential operator P defined for x-variables to a pseudodifferential operator for y-variables. However, we can’t define Pe to be the operator (f −1 ) ∗P|U f ∗ , since pseudodifferential operators are not local and thus P|U makes no sense. The solution to this issue is straightforward: instead of localize the operator, we “globalize” the functions. How do we “globalize” a locally defined function? Multiply it by a cut-off function! More precisely, suppose χ ∈ C ∞ 0 (V ), then we have maps f ∗Mχ : S (R n y ) → C ∞ 0 (U) ⊂ C ∞ 0 (R n x ) ⊂ S (R n x ) and Mχ(f −1 ) ∗ : S (R n x ) ⊂ C ∞(R n x ) → C ∞ 0 (R n y ) ⊂ S (R n y ). which extends to maps1 f ∗Mχ : S 0 (R n y ) → S 0 (R n x ) and Mχ(f −1 ) ∗ : S 0 (R n x ) → S 0 (R n y ). So given any pseudodifferential operator P on R n x , which, for simplicity, we assume its Kohn-Nirenberg symbol is a, namely P = ba KN (for a in some symbol class), and given any cut-off function χ ∈ C ∞ 0 (V ), we can define Peχ : S (R n y ) → S (R n y ) (and Peχ : S 0 (R n y ) → S 0 (R n y )) by (1) Peχ = Mχ(f −1 ) ∗P f ∗Mχ. 1Given a tempered distribution u ∈ S 0 (R n y ) and a compactly supported function χ = χ(y), we can extend Mχ to Mχ : S 0 (R n y ) → S 0 (R n y ) defined by hMχu, ϕi := hu, Mχϕi, ∀ϕ ∈ S (R n y ). The definition of pull-back of distribution is a bit complicated: Given any diffeomorphism f : U → V , one has the pull-back map on functions, f ∗ : C∞ 0 (V ) → C∞ 0 (U). By duality, we get a linear map f∗ : D(U) → D(V ), called the push-forward, defined by hf∗u, ϕi := hu, f ∗ϕi. Moreover, it can be shown that the restriction of f∗ to C∞ 0 (U) is a continuous linear map from C∞ 0 (U) to C∞ 0 (V ). By duality again, we get a pull-back map, now defined on distributions, f ∗ : D0 (V ) → D0 (U). [For pull-back by submersions, c.f. Theorem 6.1.2 in H¨ormander, Vol 1.]

We have to check that the operator Peχ defined above is a pseudodifferential operator, and calculate its symbol: Theorem 1.1. Suppose a ∈ S and P = ba W . Then the operator Peχ defined by (1) is a pseudodifferential operator whose Kohn-Nirenberg symbol b ∈ S and has the asymptotic expansion (2) b(y, η) ∼ a f −1 (y),(∂f) T η χ(y) 2 + X j≥1 ~ j bj (y, η), for some bj ∈ S .

So Pbχ is an operator whose Schwartz kernel KPeχ is compactly supported (since the support is contained in supp(χ)×supp(χ)). It follows (c.f. the computation on page 7 of Lecture 14) that Pbχ is the Weyl quantization of the symbol Z Rn e − i ~ w·ξKPeχ (x + w 2 , x − w 2 )dw which can be shown to be Schwartz. To calculate the Kohn-Nirenberg symbol b(y, η) of Pbχ, we use the oscillatory test (PSet 2) to get b(y, η) = e − i ~ y·ηPbχ(e i ~ y·η ) = 1 (2π~) n Z R2n e i ~ [(f−1 (y)−f−1 (w))·ξ+(w−y)·η] a(f −1 (y), ξ)χ(y)χ(w)| det ∂f −1 (w)|dwdξ =: 1 (2π~) n Z R2n e i ~ ϕy,η ay(ω, ξ)dωdξ.

LECTURE 20: SEMI-CLASSICAL PSDOS ON MANIFOLDS 7 ¶Mapping properties. Now suppose M is a compact Riemannian manifold (or consider the half density bundle). Like the Euclidean case, for any s ∈ R the Sobolev space Hs (M) can be characterized via pseudodifferential operators as (6) H s (M) = {u ∈ D 0 (M) | Au ∈ L 2 (M) for all A ∈ Ψ s (M)}. Since M is compact, we can cover M by a finite number of coordinate charts. It follows Theorem 2.3. Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold. (1) If A ∈ Ψ0 (M), then A : L 2 (M) → L 2 (M) is bounded. (2) If A ∈ Ψm(M) for m < 0, then A : L 2 (M) → L 2 (M) is compact. (3) For any A ∈ Ψm(M) and any s ∈ R, A maps Hs (M) into Hs−m(M). Remark. With a little bit more work, one can construct, for any elliptic pseudodifferential operator P ∈ Ψm(M) a parametrix Q ∈ Ψ−m(M) so that P Q = I + Ψ−∞(M) and QP = I + Ψ−∞(M). Also one can prove some analogues of G˚arding inequality and the Egorov theorem on compact manifolds. ¶ The principal symbol map. Finally we associate with any pseudodifferential operator A ∈ Ψm(M) a principal symbol a ∈ S m(T ∗M). Theorem 2.4. There exists linear maps (7) σ : Ψm(M) → S m(T ∗M)/~S m−1 (T ∗M) and a linear map 3 (8) Op : S m(T ∗M) → Ψ m(M) such that σ(Op(a)) = [a] ∈ S m(T ∗M)/~S m−1 (T ∗M). Proof. Let A ∈ Ψm(M) be a semiclassical pseudodifferential operator, namely A = X j Mχjϕ ∗ jabj W (ϕ −1 j ) ∗Mχj + ~ ∞Ψ −∞(M) we define σm(A)(x, ξ) := X j χ(x) 2ϕfj ∗ aj mod ~S m−1 (T ∗M) One can check that it is well-defined. In fact, According to (3), the leading term of the symbol is invariant under coordinate change, so that the above formula makes sense. Furthermore, according to Proposition 2.2, for any coordinate chart 3The map Op is non-canonical, for example it depends on the choice of P.O.U

So the value of σm(A) is independent of the decomposition formula of A. Conversely, for any a ∈ S m(T ∗M), we choose a partition of unity χ 2 j subordinate to a finite coordinate charts, namely suppχj ⊂ Uj , X K j=1 χ 2 j = 1 and define A = X j Mχjϕ ∗ jea W (ϕ −1 j ) ∗Mχj , then A ∈ Ψm(M) with σ(A) = a. It is quite obvious that the principal symbol of pseudodifferential operators satisfies all the nice properties we listed last time for differential operators: Proposition 2.5. If A ∈ Ψk (M), B ∈ Ψl (M), then (1) AB ∈ Ψk+l (M) and σk+l(AB) = σk(A)σl(B). (2) [A, B] ∈ ~Ψk+l−1 (M) and σk+l−1([A, B]) = ~ i {σk(A), σl(B)}. (3) If σk(A) = 0, then A ∈ ~Ψk−1 (M). Example. Any differential operator of order m is automatically a pseudodifferential operator of order m. So all examples we discussed last time are examples of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds. Example. For a compact region U (with smooth boundary ∂U) in a Riemannian manifold (M, g), we can define the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map as in PSet 2. Then the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map is a pseudodifferential operator whose principal symbol is the function σ(x, ξ) = |ξ|x defined on T ∗ (∂U).
