Quantization on filtered manifolds

Abstract

In this article, we develop a pseudodifferential calculus on a general filtered manifold M . The symbols are fields of operators $\sigma$(x, $\pi$) parametrised by x $\in$ M and the unitary dual G x M of the osculating Lie group G x M . We define classes of symbols and a local quantization formula associated to a local frame adapted to the filtration. We prove that the collection of operators on M coinciding locally with the quantization of symbols enjoys the essential properties of a pseudodifferential calculus: composition, adjoint, parametrices, continuity on adapted Sobolev spaces. Moreover, we show that the polyhomogeneous subcalculus coincides with the calculus constructed by van Erp and Yuncken via groupoids.
