Abstract: Can Boutet de Monvel's algebra on a compact manifold with boundary be obtained as the algebra Psi0(G) of pseudodifferential operators on some Lie groupoid G? If it could, the kernel mathcalG of the principal symbol homomorphism would be isomorphic to the groupoid {C-algebra} C(G). While the answer to the above question remains open, we exhibit in this paper a groupoid G such that C(G) possesses an ideal mathcalI isomorphic to mathcalG. %ES, the kernel of the principal symbol homomorphism on Boutet de Monvel's algebra. In fact, we prove first that mathcalGsimeqPsiotimesmathcalK with the C-algebra Psi generated by the zero order pseudodifferential operators on the boundary and the algebra mathcalK of compact operators. As both PsiotimesmathcalK and mathcalI are extensions of C(SY)otimesmathcalK by mathcalK (SY is the co-sphere bundle over the boundary) we infer from a theorem by Voiculescu that both are isomorphic.
