Abstract: Inspired by results of A. Bergamasco on perturbations of vector fields defined on the two-dimensional torus, and of J. Delgado and M. Ruzhansky on properties of invariant operators with respect to an elliptic operator defined on a closed manifold, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that perturbations of a globally hypoelliptic operator defined on TimesM, continue to be globally hypoelliptic, where T is the flat torus and M is a closed smooth manifold. For this, we analyze the behavior, at infinity, of the sequences of eigenvalues generated by the family of matrices given by the restrictions of this on the eigenspaces of a fixed elliptic operator. As an application, we construct perturbations, invariant with respect to the Laplacian, of the vector field Dt+omegaDx on T2. In the case where these perturbations commute with the operator Dx, our examples recover and extend some results of Bergamasco. Additionally, we construct examples of low order perturbations that destroy the global hypoellipticity, in the presence of diophantine phenomena.


The authors obtain necessary and sufficient conditions to the global hypoellipticity (GH) of a certain operator on a closed manifold. (GH) is related to the behavior, at infinity, of the sequences of eigenvalues given by the matrix symbol of an invariant operator. Then they present a class of perturbations on the torus, invariant to Laplacian, and they obtain new results regarding perturbations of constant vector fields. As a special situation, some results of \textit{A. P. Bergamasco} [J. Differ. Equations 114, No. 2, 513--526 (1994; Zbl 0815.35009)] are recovered and extended to a wider class of perturbations. Finally, some examples of low order perturbations that destroy the global hypoellipticity -- in the presence of a diophantine phenomena -- are constructed.
