On evolution equations for Lie groupoids

Abstract

Using the calculus of Fourier integral operators on Lie groupoids developped in [18], we study the fundamental solution of the evolution equation ( ∂ ∂t + iP )u = 0 where P is a self adjoint elliptic order one G-pseudodifferential operator on the Lie groupoid G. Along the way, we continue the study of distributions on Lie groupoids done in [17] by adding the reduced C * -algebra of G in the picture and we investigate the local nature of the regularizing operators of [32].
