Unbounded pseudodifferential calculus on Lie groupoids (Q2495363)

The purpose of this paper is to give an abstract framework to develop unbounded pseudodifferential calculus on Hausdorff Lie groupoids with compact basis and to construct complex powers for such operators. The operators are defined as unbounded operators on Hilbert \(C^{*}\)-modules over \(C^{*}(G)\) (the full \(C^{*}\)-algebra of the groupoid). A key result is the fact that elliptic operators are regular and consequently, any elliptic operator which is normal admits functional calculus which allows defining the complex powers. The paper is organized as follows. The aim of Section 2 is to give the reader some essential information about Lie groupoids and regular operators. In Section 3 the author extends the pseudodifferential calculus developed by \textit{B. Monthubert} and \textit{F. Pierrot} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Ser. I, Math. 325, No. 2, 193--198 (1997; Zbl 0955.22004)] and \textit{V. Nistor, A. Weinstein} and \textit{P. Xu} [Pac. J. Math. 189, No. 1, 117--152 (1999; Zbl 0940.58014)] in order to include holomorphic families of pseudodifferential operators and he introduces the class of smoothing operators, which allows to define a generalized pseudodifferential calculus. In Section 4 the author shows that the definition of the smoothing operators is natural in the following sense. He constructs a scale of Sobolev Hilbert modules. As in the classical case, pseudodifferential operators acts on these Sobolev spaces as morphisms and an operator is smoothing if and only if it acts between any pair of such Sobolev modules. Moreover, the class of smoothing operators is stable under holomorphic functional calculus in the \(C^{*}\)-algebra of the groupoid. In Section 5 the author constructs the complex powers of a positive elliptic operator of integral order and he proves that complex powers of this kind of operator are pseudodifferential operators in the sense introduced in this paper. Section 6 is devoted to applications to foliated manifolds.
