Abstract

In a previous paper ([1]), we associated a holonomy groupoid and a C*-algebra to any singular foliation . Using these, we construct the associated pseudodifferential calculus. This calculus gives meaning to a Laplace operator of any singular foliation on a compact manifold , and we show that it can be naturally understood as a positive, unbounded, self-adjoint operator on .
