We show that the space introduced by Vasy in order to construct a pseudodifferential calculus adapted to the N-body problem can be obtained as the primitive ideal spectrum of one of the N-body algebras considered by Georgescu. In the process, we provide an alternative description of the iterated blow-up space of a manifold with corners with respect to a clean semilattice of adapted submanifolds (i.e. p-submanifolds). Since our constructions and proofs rely heavily on manifolds with corners and their submanifolds, we found it necessary to clarify the various notions of submanifolds of a manifold with corners.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
We prove well-posedness and regularity results for elliptic boundary value problems on certain singular domains. Our class of domains contains the class of domains with isolated oscillating conical singularities. Our results thus generalize the classical results of Kondratiev on domains with conical singularities. The proofs are based on conformal changes of metric, on the differential geometry of manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry, and on our earlier results on manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
Let M be a smooth manifold with (smooth) boundary ∂M and bounded geometry and ∂<sub>D</sub>M ⊂ ∂M be an open and closed subset. We prove the well-posedness of the mixed Robin boundary value problem Pu = f in M, u = 0 on ∂<sub>D</sub>M, ∂<sup>P</sup><sub>ν</sub> u + bu = 0 on ∂M \ ∂<sub>D</sub>M under the following assumptions. First, we assume that P satisfies the strong Legendre condition (which reduces to the uniformly strong ellipticity condition in the scalar case) and that it has totally bounded coefficients (that is, that the coefficients of P and all their derivatives are bounded). Let ∂<sub>R</sub>M ⊂ ∂M \ ∂<sub>D</sub>M be the set where b≠ 0.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
Let M be a manifold with boundary and bounded geometry. We assume that M has "finite width", that is, that the distance from any point to the boundary is bounded uniformly. Under this assumption, we prove that the Poincaré inequality for vector valued functions holds on M. We also prove a general regularity result for uniformly strongly elliptic equations and systems on general manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry. By combining the Poincaré inequality with the regularity result, we obtain-as in the classical case-that uniformly strongly elliptic equations and systems are well-posed on M in Hadamard's sense between the usual Sobolev spaces associated to the metric. We also provide variants of these results that apply to suitable mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. We also indicate applications to boundary value problems on singular domains.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
We prove that the computation of the Fredholm index for fully elliptic pseudodifferential operators on Lie manifolds can be reduced to the computation of the index of Dirac operators perturbed by smoothing operators. To this end we adapt to our framework ideas coming from Baum-Douglas geometric K-homology and in particular we introduce a notion of geometric cycles that can be classified into a variant of the famous geometric K-homology groups, for the specific situation here. We also define comparison maps between this geometric K-homology theory and relative K-theory.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
We discuss a method to construct Dirac-harmonic maps developed by J. Jost, X. Mo and M. Zhu. The method uses harmonic spinors and twistor spinors, and mainly applies to Dirac-harmonic maps of codimension 1 with target spaces of constant sectional curvature. Before the present article, it remained unclear when the conditions of the theorems in the publication by Jost, Mo and Zhu were fulfilled. We show that for isometric immersions into spaceforms, these conditions are fulfilled only under special assumptions. In several cases we show the existence of solutions.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
We consider pseudodifferential operators of tensor product type, also called bisingular pseudodifferential operators, which are defined on the product manifold $M_1 \times M_2$ for closed manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$. We prove a topological index theorem for Fredholm operators of tensor product type. To this end we construct a suitable double deformation groupoid and prove a Poincaré duality type result in relative $K$-theory.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
We investigate the problem of calculating the Fredholm index of a geometric Dirac operator subject to local (e.g. Dirichlet and Neumann) and non-local (APS) boundary conditions posed on the strata of a manifold with corners. The boundary strata of the manifold with corners can intersect in higher codimension. To calculate the index we introduce a glueing construction and a corresponding Lie groupoid. We describe the Dirac operator subject to mixed boundary conditions via an equivariant family of Dirac operators on the fibers of the Lie groupoid. Using a heat kernel method with rescaling we derive a general index formula of the Atiyah-Singer type.

3Geometric operators on a class of manifolds with bounded geometry
We investigate a quantization problem which asks for the construction of an algebra for relative elliptic problems of pseudodifferential type associated to smooth embeddings. Specifically, we study the problem for embeddings in the category of compact manifolds with corners. The construction of a calculus for elliptic problems is achieved using the theory of Fourier integral operators on Lie groupoids. We show that our calculus is closed under composition and furnishes a so-called noncommutative completion of the given embedding. A representation of the algebra is defined and the continuity of the operators in the algebra on suitable Sobolev spaces is established.
