Pseudo-Differential Operators and Related Topics: 164 (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications) - Tapa dura

As a satellite conference to the Fourth Congress of European Mathematics held at StockholmUniversityin2004,theInternationalConferenceonPseudo-Di?erential Operators and Related Topics was held at V.. axjo .. University in Sweden from June 22 to June 25, 2004. The conferencewas supported by Vaxj .. oU .. niversity,theFIRB Research Group on Microlocal Analysis of Universit' a di Torino, and the Int- national Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation (ISAAC). The conferencewas well attended by about 50 mathematicians fromBulgaria,Canada, Denmark, England,Finland, Germany,Italy, Japan,Mexico, Serbiaand Monte- gro, Russia and Sweden. The conference covered a broad spectrum of topics related to pseudo-di?erential operators such as partial di?erential equations, quantization, Wigner transforms andWeyltransformsonLiegroups,mathematicalphysics,time-frequencyanalysis and stochastic processes. The speakers were enthusiastic about the prospect of publishing articles based on their presentations in a volume to be published in Professor Israel Gohberg's prestigious series entitled "Operator Theory: Advances and Applications". All contributions from speakers have been carefully refereed and the articles c- lected in this volume give a representative ?avour of the mathematics presented at the conference. This volume is a permanent record of the conference and a valuable complement to the volume "Advances in Pseudo-Di?erential Operators" published in the same series in 2004, which is devoted to the Special Session on Pseudo-Di?erential Operators at the Fourth ISAAC Congress held at York U- versity in August 2003.

This volume consists of sixteen peer-reviewed articles based on the invited talks at the International Conference on Pseudo-Differential Operators and Related Topics held at Växjö University in Sweden from June 22 to June 25, 2004. The objective is to look at pseudo-differential operators and related topics and to report recent advances in a broad spectrum of topics such as partial differential equations, quantization, Wigner transforms, Weyl transforms on Lie groups, mathematical physics, time-frequency analysis, frames, and stochastic processes. The book should be of great interest to graduate students and researchers in analysis, mathematical physics and mathematical sciences. It is a valuable complement to the volume "Advances in Pseudo-Differential Operators" published in the same series in 2004.
