for each s ∈ . More details of this kind on the pseudo-differential calculus with operator-valued
symbols may be found in [26], [30]. In particular, all elements of the theory have a reasonable generalization to Fr´echet spaces E and e
E, written as projective limits of corresponding scales of
Hilbert spaces, where the strong continuous actions are defined by extensions or restrictions to the Hilbert spaces of the respective scales [30], Section 1.3.1. This will tacitly be used below.
Let us now pass to an analogue of the global pseudo-differential calculus of Section 2.3 with operator-valued symbols. Let S

to the global ones. Further details are given in [30], [5], see also [31]. We now define operator-valued symbols that are classical both in η and y, where the group
actions on E, e E are taken as the identities for all λ ∈
