On the geometry of Diff(S¹)-pseudodifferential operators based on renormalized traces.

In this article, we examine the geometry of a group of Fourier-integral operators, which is the central extension of Diff(S¹) with a group of classical pseudo-differential operators of any order. Several subgroups are considered, and the corresponding groups with formal pseudodifferential operators are defined. We investigate the relationship of this group with the restricted general linear group GLᵣₑₛ, we define a right-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric on it that extends the Hilbert-Schmidt Riemannian metric by the use of renormalized traces of pseudo-differential operators, and we describe classes of remarkable connections.
