We construct a trace on the algebra of classical elements in Boutet de Monvel's calculus on a compact manifold with boundary of dimension n>2. This trace coincides with Wodzicki's noncommutative residue if the boundary is reduced to the empty set. Moreover, we show that it is the unique continuous trace on this algebra up to multiplication by a constant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
