The Wodzicki residue for pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups

Abstract

Let $G$ be an arbitrary compact Lie group. In this work we apply the method of the analytic continuation of traces in order to compute the Wodzicki residue for a classical pseudo-differential operator on $G$ in terms of its matrix-valued symbol (which is globally defined on the non-commutative phase space $G\times \widehat{G},$ with $\widehat{G}$ being the unitary dual of $G$). Our main theorem is complementary to the results in [2], where we remove the ellipticity hypothesis when the operators belong to the H\"ormander classes on $G$ defined by local coordinate systems.
