The Mellin-Edge Quantisation for Corner Operators
  We establish a quantisation of corner-degenerate symbols, here called Mellin-edge quantisation, on a manifold $M$ with second order singularities. The typical ingredients come from the "most singular" stratum of $M$ which is a second order edge where the infinite transversal cone has a base $B$ that is itself a manifold with smooth edge. The resulting operator-valued amplitude functions on the second order edge are formulated purely in terms of Mellin symbols taking values in the edge algebra over $B.$ In this respect our result is formally analogous to a quantisation rule of a joint paper with J. Gil and J. Seiler for the simpler case of edge-degenerate symbols that corresponds to the singularity order 1. However, from the singularity order 2 on there appear new substantial difficulties for the first time, partly caused by the edge singularities of the cone over $B$ that tend to infinity.
