The symbol of a function of a pseudodifferential operator
Let \(\widehat A\) be a pseudodifferential operator in \(L^2({\mathbb R}^N)\) which admits a self-adjoint extension. Let \(A\in C^{\infty}({\mathbb R}^{2N})\) be the Weyl symbol of \(A\). Let \(f :{\mathbb R}\rightarrow {\mathbb R}\) be a smooth function and let \({\widehat B} =f({\widehat A})\) be an operator with symbol \(B\). The aim of this paper is to give a realistically computable formula for \(B\) in terms of \(A\). The author obtains the following formula \[ B=\sum _{\Gamma}\left({i\hbar\over 2}\right)^{E} {c_{\Gamma}\over S_{\Gamma}}{\lambda }_{\Gamma}(A){1\over V !}f^{(V)}(A)\tag{F} \] where the sum is taken over a set of finite graphs. Here \(V\), \(E\), \(S_{\Gamma}\) and \( c_{\Gamma}\) are numbers depending on a graph \(\Gamma\) and \({\lambda }_{\Gamma}(A)\) is a polynomial in the derivatives of \(A\). The main step in the derivation of (F) is an expression for the iterated Moyal star product \(C_1\ast C_2\ast\dots\ast C_n\) where \(C_1,C_2,\dots,C_n\) are symbols. The author also considers the problem of computing the symbol \(B\) of an operator \({\widehat B}=F({\widehat A_1},\dots,{\widehat A_n})\) where \({\widehat A_1},\dots,{\widehat A_n}\) are commuting operators with symbols \(A_1,\dots,A_n\) and gives some applications of (F) to Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rules and to star exponentials of quadratic forms.
