TY - JOUR A1 - Schulze, Bert-Wolfgang A1 - Seiler, Jörg T1 - Boundary value problems with global projection conditions N2 - Parametrices of elliptic boundary value problems for differential operators belong to an algebra of pseudodifferential operators with the transmission property at the boundary. However, generically, smooth symbols on a manifold with boundary do not have this property, and several interesting applications require a corresponding more general calculus. We introduce here a new algebra of boundary value problems that contains Shapiro-Lopatinskij elliptic as well as global projection conditions; the latter ones are necessary, if an analogue of the Atiyah-Bott obstruction does not vanish. We show that every elliptic operator admits (up to a stabilisation) elliptic conditions of that kind. Corresponding boundary value problems are then Fredholm in adequate scales of spaces. Moreover, we construct parametrices in the calculus. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved Y1 - 2004 UR - https://publishup.uni-potsdam.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/15059 SN - 0022-1236 ER -
