Abstract

In this paper we give a survey of elliptic theory for operators associated with diffeomorphisms of smooth manifolds. Such operators appear naturally in analysis, geometry and mathematical physics. We survey classical results as well as results obtained recently. The paper consists of an introduction and three sections. In the introduction we give a general overview of the area of research. For the reader’s convenience here we tried to keep special terminology to a minimum. In the remaining sections we give detailed formulations of the most important results mentioned in the introduction.
