TOPOLOGICAL OBSTRUCTIONS TO THE DIAGONALISATION OF PSEUDODIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2022
Given a matrix pseudodifferential operator on a smooth manifold, one may be interested in diagonalising it by choosing eigenvectors of its prin-cipal symbol in a smooth manner. We show that diagonalisation is not always possible, on the whole cotangent bundle or even in a single fibre. We iden-tify global and local topological obstructions to diagonalisation and examine physically meaningful examples demonstrating that all possible scenarios can occur.
