Pseudodifferential operators associated with a semigroup of operators (Q485215)

The aim of the paper is to describe a very weak structure, which allows to define a suitable pseudo-differential calculus. The authors consider a space of homogeneous type \(X\), together with two non-negative, self-adjoint operators \(\Delta\) and \(L\), densely defined on \(L^2(X)\). It is assumed that the operator \(\Delta\) satisfies a Sobolev embedding type estimate and the operator \(L\) satisfies \(L^p\) off-diagonal generalized Gaussian estimates. Then, a version of Hörmander class of symbol \(S^0_{1,\delta}\) is defined, associated with the operator \(L\). The smoothness of the symbol \(\sigma:X\times{\mathbb R}\rightarrow {\mathbb R}\) in the variable \(x\) is measured in the terms of the operator \(\Delta\). Boundedness on \(L^p\) of the corresponding pseudo-differential operators of order \(0\), \(\delta<1\), is proved. The approach includes the setting of Riemannian manifolds, fractals and graphs. The exotic class \(S^0_{1,1}\) is investigated in the special setting of sub-Laplacian operators on Riemannian manifolds.
