TL;DR
This work characterizes the global solvability and hypoellipticity of a differential complex on $\mathbb{T}^m\times\mathbb{R}^n$ generated by first-order evolution operators with time-periodic Gevrey coefficients. By embedding the problem into time-periodic Gelfand–Shilov spaces and reducing to a normal form with constant coefficient $a_0$, the authors derive a sharp Diophantine-type condition ($\mathrm{DC}_{\sigma,\mu}$) relating the constant part of the 1-form to the spectrum of a globally elliptic operator $P$. They prove that global solvability is equivalent to this DC condition, with a constructive sufficiency proof and a necessity argument based on resonant modes. Global hypoellipticity, in contrast, exhibits a dichotomy: it holds for $p=0$ under finite resonance and the DC condition, but fails for every $p\ge1$ due to obstructions arising from nontrivial differential forms. The results extend scalar and constant-coefficient theories to time-dependent differential complexes within the Gelfand–Shilov framework, highlighting the interplay between spectral data, arithmetic conditions, and ultradifferentiable regularity.
Abstract
We study the global solvability of a class of differential complexes on the product manifold $\mathbb{T}^m \times \mathbb{R}^n$ associated with systems of evolution operators of the form $L_r = \partial_{t_r} + ia_r(t)P(x,D_x), r=1,\ldots,m,$ where the coefficients $a_r$ are real-valued Gevrey functions on the torus and $P(x,D_x)$ is a globally elliptic normal differential operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Within the framework of time-periodic Gelfand--Shilov spaces, we introduce a natural differential complex generated by these operators and investigate its solvability in both functional and ultradistributional settings. We provide a complete characterization of global solvability in terms of a Diophantine condition involving the constant part of the associated $1$-form and the spectrum of $P$. We also analyze global hypoellipticity of the complex. These results extend previous works on scalar operators and constant coefficient systems to the setting of differential complexes with time-dependent real coefficients.
