Fundamental Results for Pseudo-Differential Operators of Type $1,1$

Abstract

This paper develops some deeper consequences of an extended definition, proposed previously by the author, of pseudo-differential operators that are of type $1,1$ in Hörmander's sense. Thus, it contributes to the long-standing problem of creating a systematic theory of such operators. It is shown that type $1,1$-operators are defined and continuous on the full space of temperate distributions, if they fulfil Hörmander's twisted diagonal condition, or more generally if they belong to the self-adjoint subclass; and that they are always defined on the temperate smooth functions. As a main tool the paradifferential decomposition is derived for type $1,1$-operators, and to confirm a natural hypothesis the symmetric term is shown to cause the domain restrictions; whereas the other terms are shown to define nice type $1,1$-operators fulfilling the twisted diagonal condition. The decomposition is analysed in the type $1,1$-context by combining the Spectral Support Rule and the factorisation inequality, which gives pointwise estimates of pseudo-differential operators in terms of maximal functions.
