Abstract

We consider a first order linear partial differential operator of principal type on a closed connected orientable two-dimensional manifold sending sections of one complex line bundle to sections of another. We prove that the assumption of global hypoellipticity of the operator implies a relation between the degrees of the line bundles and the Euler characteristic of the manifold.
