2 Manifolds and Vector Bundles Compact n-dim manifold M (with or without smooth boundary M) with local coordinates x µ, µ = 1, 2,..., n N-dim vector space V with a positive definite inner product, ; vectors: ϕ = (ϕ A ), A = 1, 2,..., N Vector bundle V over M with fiber V Space C (V) of smooth sections of the vector bundle V; locally, ϕ = (ϕ A (x)) Inner product (ϕ, ψ) = M dvol (x) ϕ(x), ψ(x) Norm ϕ = (ϕ, ϕ) Hilbert space L 2 (V) is the completion of C (V) in L 2 -norm 2

4 Natural Non-Laplace Type Operators Spin-tensor vector bundle V with a canonical (Levi-Civita) connection Decomposition into irreducible components T M V = W 1 W s Projections P j : T M V W j Gradients (Stein-Weiss operators) G j = P j : C (V) C (W j ) Non-Laplace type Operators (NLTO) L = s j=1 c 2 j G j G j 4
5 Leading Symbol General second order partial differential operator L = a µν (x) µ ν + b µ (x) µ + c(x) with matrix-valued coefficients Leading Symbol with ξ T xm σ L (L; x, ξ) = a µν (x)ξ µ ξ ν We assume that L has a positive-definite leading symbol and is formally self-adjoint: for any ϕ, ψ C 0 (V) (Lϕ, ψ) = (ϕ, Lψ) Laplace type operator L has a positive definite scalar leading symbol σ L (L; x, ξ) = Ig µν (x)ξ µ ξ ν 5
6 Boundary Conditions Smooth compact Boundary Unit Normal to M Restriction of vector bundle V M N W = V M Boundary Data Boundary Operator Boundary Conditions ψ : C (V) C (W W) ψ(ϕ) = ϕ M N ϕ M B : C (W W) C (W W) Bψ(ϕ) = 0 6

8 Smooth Boundary Conditions Disconnected boundary: disjoint union of compact connected components without boundary M = Σ 1 Σ m Σ i Σ j =, i j Σ 3 M Σ 1 Σ 2 Decomposition of boundary data ψ(ϕ) = ψ 1 (ϕ) ψ m (ϕ) Smooth boundary operators with different B i B = B 1 B m 8

10 Discontinuous Boundary Value Problem Boundary decomposition: disjoint union M = Σ 1 Σ 2 Σ 0 with Σ 1, Σ 2 smooth compact submanifolds of co-dim 1 with same boundary Σ 1 = Σ 2 = Σ 0 and Σ 0 a smooth compact submanifold of codim 2 without boundary Σ 0 M Σ 2 Σ 1 Boundary Data ψ(ϕ) = ψ 1 (ϕ) ψ 2 (ϕ) Discontinuous boundary operator (on Σ 0 ) B = B 1 B 2 Zaremba BC ϕ Σ1 = 0 ( N + S)ϕ Σ2 = 0 with S an endomorphism of W 10
11 Ellipticity Ellipticity Invertibility (locally) An operator L is (strongly) elliptic if: leading symbol σ L (L; x, ξ) is elliptic, (the matrix [σ L (L; x, ξ) λi] is invertible for any x in the interior of M, ξ 0, λ C R + ) satisfies Lopatinski-Shapiro condition on the boundary M (existence of a unique local solution in a neighborhood of the boundary vanishing at infinity) Proposition. A formally self-adjoint second order PDO with Gilkey-Smith boundary conditions is elliptic and self-adjoint provided the leading symbol (first-order part) of the tangential operator Λ is sufficiently small The ellipticity for the Zaremba BC is more subtle problem (one needs an additional condition on the co-dim 2 submanifold Σ 0 ) 11
12 Spectral Theorem Eigenvalues, λ k, and eigenvectors, ϕ k, Lϕ k = λ k ϕ k, ϕ k = 1 Theorem. For a second-order self-adjoint elliptic operator on a compact manifold with positive definite leading symbol: i) eigenvalues λ k have finite multiplicities and form an unbounded increasing real sequence λ 1 λ 2 λ k λ k+1 ii) eigenvectors ϕ k are smooth sections that form an orthonormal basis in L 2 (V) (ϕ k, ϕ n ) = δ kn 12

17 Heat Kernel Asymptotics Spectral Asymptotics of λ n as n are described by short-time asymptotics of the heat kernel as t 0 [Minakshisundaram-Pleijel, Greiner, Seeley] Tr exp( tl) (4πt) n 2 k=0 t k 2A k + log t k=0 t k 2H k Spectral Invariants A k = H k = M a k + Σ 0 h k Σ 1 b (1) k + Σ 2 b (2) k + Σ 0 c k 17
18 General Properties: Interior coefficients are local invariants of intrinsic interior geometry only Co-dimension 1 boundary coefficients b k are local invariants of both the intrinsic geometry of M and extrinsic geometry of the boundary M in M Co-dimension 2 boundary coefficients c k are local invariants of the intrinsic geometry of M, the extrinsic geometry of the boundary M in M as well as the extrinsic geometry of the co-dimension 2 submanifold Σ 0 in the boundary M There are no odd-order interior coefficients a 2k+1 = 0 18
19 For manifolds without boundary there are no boundary coefficients b (1) k = b (2) k = h k = 0 For manifolds with boundary and smooth boundary conditions there are no log-coefficients and only one type of boundary coefficients, h k = 0, and either b (1) k = 0 or b (2) k = 0 For smooth manifolds with smooth boundary there are no log-coefficients h k = 0 (even for non-smooth local boundary conditions) [Seeley (2001)]
