Lecture notes

Will be provided and updated on a weekly basis after the beginning of the course. Our main references will be the first two mentioned in the Literature section below.

Contents

  • Test functions, Schwartz functions, distributions: tempered distributions, regular and singular distributions, compactly supported distributions
  • Distributional derivatives and further operations with distributions
  • Wavefront set and singular support, products of distributions
  • Oscillatory integrals, symbol classes, pseudodifferential operators
  • (Semiclassical) quantisation and symbol calculus
  • Ellipticity, parametrix construction
  • Sobolev spaces, Fredholm theory
  • Schwartz kernel theorem, operator wavefront set, microlocalisation
