Let M be a C-smooth n-dimensional manifold and ν₁, ..., νₙ be C-smooth vector fields on M which span the tangent space TxM at each point x ∈ M. The vector fields ν₁, ..., νₙ may have nonzero commutators. We construct a calculus of pseudodifferential operators (ψDOs) which act on sections of vector bundles over M and have symbols belonging to anisotropic analogues of the Hörmander classes Sϱ,δr, and apply it to semi-elliptic operators generated by ν₁,...,νₙ. The results obtained include the formula expressing the symbol of a ψDO in terms of its amplitude, the formula for the symbol of the adjoint ψDO, the theorem on composition of ψDOs, the L₂-boundedness of ψDOs with symbols from Sϱ,δ, 0 ≤ δ < ϱ ≤ 1, and the Lp-boundedness, 1 < p < ∞, of ψDOs with symbols from S1,δ. We prove that a semi-elliptic ψDO A is Fredholm if M is compact and obtain analogues of the well known “elliptic” results concerning the resolvent and complex powers of A and the exponential e-tA. We also prove an asymptotic formula for the spectral function of A with a remainder estimate and more precise, in particular two-term, asymptotic formulae for the Riesz means of the spectral function.
