Adjoints of elliptic cone operators
We study the adjointness problem for the closed extensions of a general
b-elliptic operator A in x^{-\nu}Diff^m_b(M;E), \nu>0, initially defined as an
unbounded operator A:C_c^\infty(M;E)\subset x^\mu L^2_b(M;E)\to x^\mu
L^2_b(M;E), \mu \in \R. The case where A is a symmetric semibounded operator is
of particular interest, and we give a complete description of the domain of the
Friedrichs extension of such an operator.Comment: 40 pages, LaTeX, preliminary versio
Resolvents of cone pseudodifferential operators, asymptotic expansions and applications
We study the structure and asymptotic behavior of the resolvent of elliptic
cone pseudodifferential operators acting on weighted Sobolev spaces over a
compact manifold with boundary. We obtain an asymptotic expansion of the
resolvent as the spectral parameter tends to infinity, and use it to derive
corresponding heat trace and zeta function expansions as well as an analytic
index formula.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figure
On the Noncommutative Residue and the Heat Trace Expansion on Conic Manifolds
Given a cone pseudodifferential operator we give a full asymptotic
expansion as of the trace \Tr Pe^{-tA}, where is an elliptic
cone differential operator for which the resolvent exists on a suitable region
of the complex plane. Our expansion contains and new
terms whose coefficients are given explicitly by means of residue traces. Cone
operators are contained in some natural algebras of pseudodifferential
operators on which unique trace functionals can be defined. As a consequence of
our explicit heat trace expansion, we recover all these trace functionals.Comment: 15 page
On the closure of elliptic wedge operators
We prove a semi-Fredholm theorem for the minimal extension of elliptic
operators on manifolds with wedge singularities and give, under suitable
assumptions, a full asymptotic expansion of the trace of the resolvent.Comment: 22 pages, improved expositio
Resolvents of elliptic cone operators
We prove the existence of sectors of minimal growth for general closed
extensions of elliptic cone operators under natural ellipticity conditions.
This is achieved by the construction of a suitable parametrix and reduction to
the boundary. Special attention is devoted to the clarification of the analytic
structure of the resolvent.Comment: 46 pages, submitted for publicatio
Trace expansions for elliptic cone operators with stationary domains
We analyze the behavior of the trace of the resolvent of an elliptic cone
differential operator as the spectral parameter tends to infinity. The
resolvent splits into two components, one associated with the minimal extension
of the operator, and another, of finite rank, depending on the particular
choice of domain. We give a full asymptotic expansion of the first component
and expand the component of finite rank in the case where the domain is
stationary. The results make use, and develop further, our previous
investigations on the analytic and geometric structure of the resolvent. The
analysis of nonstationary domains, considerably more intricate, is pursued
elsewhere.Comment: 27 pages. Minor corrections and change of titl
Geometry and spectra of closed extensions of elliptic cone operators
We study the geometry of the set of closed extensions of index 0 of an
elliptic cone operator and its model operator in connection with the spectra of
the extensions, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence
of rays of minimal growth for such operators.Comment: 48 pages, revisited version to appear in Canadian Journal of

Unemployment hysteresis, structural changes, non-linearities and fractional integration in Central and Eastern Europe
In this paper we aim to analyse the dynamics of unemployment in a group of Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). The CEECs are of special importance for the future of the European Union, given that most of them have recently become member states, and labour flows have been seen to rise with their accession. By means of unit root tests incorporating structural changes and nonlinearities, as well as fractional integration, we find that the unemployment rates for the CEECs are mean reverting processes, which is consistent with the NAIRU hypothesis, although shocks tend to be highly persistent.Unemployment, NAIRU, hysteresis, unit roots, fractional integration
