The exam will take place on July 18. Please sign up by email (until monday, 11.07.2016), including the following information: Name, Matrikelnummer, Studiengang, HF/NF, Abschluss, Buchungsstelle and whether you wish to be examined in German or in English. You may also indicate a preferred time slot.
Synopsis:
Pseudodifferential operators are generalizations of partial differential operators and were introduced into analysis in the 1960s as a tool in the study of elliptic partial differential equations. In quantum mechanics, they were used even earlier, in connection with the quantization procedure. This course is an introduction to the global theory of pseudodifferential operators on Euclidean space. Topics to be covered include: Fourier transform and tempered distributions, pseudodifferential symbols and asymptotic expansion, adjoints and products of pseudodifferential operators, parametrix construction for elliptic pseudodifferential operators, elliptic regularity estimates and more advanced topics.
Audience:
