Abstract: We prove new criteria for essential self-adjointness of pseudodifferential operators which do not involve ellipticity type assumptions. For example, we show that self-adjointness holds in case that the symbol is $C^{2d+3}$ with derivatives of order two and higher being uniformly bounded. These results also apply to hermitian operator-valued symbols on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces which are important to applications in physics. Our method relies on a phase space differential calculus for quadratic forms on $L^2(mathbb{R}^d)$, Calder'on-Vaillancourt type theorems and a recent self-adjointness result for Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space.
