Forschungsseminar: Gruppen und Operatoralgebren
Cartan subalgebras from a von Neumann algebra point-of-view
Sven Raum (UP)
Malte Leimbach (Uni Potsdam)
Following van Erp's and Yuncken's "Groupoid approach to pseudodifferential operators" I will discuss how one can use Connes' tangent groupoid and the "zoom-action" to define PDOs. I will point out some geometric aspects of the tangent groupoid which play an important role in the background of this approach, in particular the connection and the groupoid exponential. I will present van Erp's and Yuncken's construction of the full symbol of their PDOs by using a Taylor-like expansion and by this, we will see that their PDOs are exactly the classical PDOs on the manifold. If time admits, I will mention the obstructions (on the connection) to defining the tangent groupoid in the case of a filtered manifold which allows to generalize the definition of PDOs to this setting.
