A smooth section of a vector bundle $V \to M$ over a manifold $M$, i.e. an element of $\Gamma(V) = C^\infty(M, V)$.
Instances For
A family of Sobolev norms $\|\cdot\|_{W^s}$ on smooth sections of a vector bundle over a compact manifold $M$, indexed by the regularity index $s \in \mathbb{N}$, satisfying non-negativity, monotonicity in $s$, and the triangle inequality.

Instances For
A linear operator $S$ on $\Gamma(V)$ is a smoothing operator if it improves Sobolev regularity by one degree: for every $s$, there exists $C > 0$ with $\|S\sigma\|_{W^{s+1}} \leq C \|\sigma\|_{W^s}$.
Instances For
A linear operator $L : \Gamma(V_E) \to \Gamma(V_F)$ between sections of two vector bundles on a compact manifold $M$ has a parametrix $P : \Gamma(V_F) \to \Gamma(V_E)$ if both $P \circ L - \mathrm{id}$ and $L \circ P - \mathrm{id}$ are smoothing operators (raising Sobolev regularity $W^s \to W^{s+1}$).

Instances For
A linear differential operator $L$ of order $m$ between sections of vector bundles on $M$ is elliptic if its principal symbol $\sigma_m(L)(x, \xi) : (V_E)_x \to (V_F)_x$ is a linear bijection for every $x \in M$ and every nonzero cotangent vector $\xi$, and is homogeneous of degree $m$ in $\xi$.
