The spectrum of positive elliptic operators and periodic bicharacteristics

Let X be a compact boundaryless C ∞ manifold and let P be a positive elliptic self-adjoint pseudodifferential operator of order m>0 on X. For technical reasons we will assume that P operates on half-densities rather than functions.
