Résumé

In this talk, we discuss the self-adjointness in L2-setting of the operators acting as divh, with piecewise constant functions h having a jump along a Lipschitz hypersurface Σ, without explicit assumptions on the sign of h. We establish a number of sufficient conditions for the selfadjointness of the operator with H32-regularity in terms of the jump value and the regularity and geometric properties of Σ. An important intermediate step is a link with Fredholm properties of the NeumannPoincaré operator on Σ, which is new for the Lipschitz setting.

Based on joint work with Konstantin Pankrashkin.
