The symbol of a pseudifferential operator: how to reconstruct the symbol from an operator?












1












$begingroup$


To simplify let us assume that $U subset mathbb{R}^n$ is an open set. Let $P$ be a (scalar) psuedodifferential operator of order $d$ and $p$ be its symbol. Therefore it may be expressed as follows:
$Pf(x)=int e^{ix xi}p(x,xi)hat{f}(xi)dxi$ where $f in C^{infty}_c(U)$ is a smooth function with compact support. The fact that $P$ is of order $d$ imposes some growth condition on the function $p$.




Why the symbol may be reconstructed as $p(x,xi)=e^{-ix xi}P(e^{ix xi})$.




This should be simple but I have a problem in understanding this formula since most likely it should interpreted in the distributional sense. I would be grateful for any help.

          First, note that
          begin{align}
          widehat{e^{ixeta}}(xi) = int dx e^{-ix(xi-eta)} = delta(xi-eta)
          end{align}

          then it follows
          begin{align}
          P(e^{ixeta})(x, eta) =& int dxi e^{ix xi} p(x, xi) widehat{e^{iyeta}}(xi)\
          =& int dxi e^{ixxi}p(x, xi) delta(xi-eta)= e^{ixeta}p(x, eta).
          end{align}

          Finally, we see that
          begin{align}
          e^{-ixeta}P(e^{ixeta}) = p(x, eta).
          end{align}
