A Symbolic Calculus and a Parametrix Construction for Pseudodifferential Operators with Non-Smooth Negative Definite Symbols

Resumen

We consider pseudodifferential operators that have non-smooth negative definite symbols and develop a corresponding symbolic calculus. Combining this symbolic calculus with the use of non-smooth symbols that are asymptotically constant in the co-variable we succeed infunding a parametrix for a certain pseudodifferential equation. This in turn allows us to show that some pseudodifferential operators with non-smooth negative definite symbols are pregenerators of Feller semigroups.
