An order-zero Fourier multiplier here is m(D)m(D) with symbol mC(Rn{0})m\in C^\infty(\mathbb R^n\setminus\{0\}) such that

Mk(m):=maxγksupξ0ξγγm(ξ)<(k=0,1,2,).M_k(m):=\max_{|\gamma|\leq k}\sup_{\xi\ne0} |\xi|^{|\gamma|}|\partial^\gamma m(\xi)|<\infty \quad(k=0,1,2,\ldots).

Here γ\gamma is a . In particular mm is bounded, so it defines an .

The symbol has on the punctured frequency space.

Real fields

The condition m(ξ)=m(ξ)m(-\xi)=\overline{m(\xi)} ensures that m(D)m(D) preserves real functions. A scalar symbol acts componentwise on vector fields and preserves the divergence-free condition.
