Perturbations of globally hypoelliptic pseudo-differential operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the stability of the global regularity for a class of pseudo-differential operators under lower-order perturbations. We establish that if an operator has a globally hypoelliptic symbol, its global regularity (in the sense of Schwartz functions and tempered distributions) is preserved when perturbed by operators of sufficiently lower order. This result applies in particular to operators within the Shubin and SG classes. Furthermore, we discuss why this stability result does not hold in the standard H\"ormander classes.
