Global functional calculus, lower/upper bounds and evolution equations on manifolds with boundary

Abstract

Given a smooth manifold M (with or without boundary), in this paper we establish a global functional calculus, without the standard assumption that the operators are classical pseudo-differential operators, and the Gårding inequality for global pseudo-differential operators associated with boundary value problems. The analysis that we follow is free of local coordinate systems. Applications of the Gårding inequality to the global solvability for a class of evolution problems are also considered.
