On the Spectral Asymptotics of Operators on Manifolds with Ends

Abstract

We deal with the asymptotic behaviour for $\lambda\to+\infty$ of the counting function $N_P(\lambda)$ of certain positive selfadjoint operators $P$ with double order $(m,\mu)$, $m,\mu>0$, $m\not=\mu$, defined on a manifold with ends $M$. The structure of this class of noncompact manifolds allows to make use of calculi of pseudodifferential operators and Fourier Integral Operators associated with weighted symbols globally defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$. By means of these tools, we improve known results concerning the remainder terms of the Weyl Formulae for $N_P(\lambda)$ and show how their behaviour depends on the ratio $\frac{m}{\mu}$ and the dimension of $M$.
