On the symbol homomorphism of a certain Frechet algebra of singular integral operators

1985

We prove the surjectivity of the symbol map of the Frechet algebra obtained by completing an algebra of convolution and multiplication operators in the topology generated by all L2-Sobolev norms. The proof is based on an ℝn of Egorov's theorem valid for non-homogeneous principal symbols, discussed in [5], [6]. We use the hyperbolic equation ∂u/∂t=i|D|ηu, 0<η<1, which has its characteristic flow constant at infinity, so that no differentiability of the symbol is required there.
