Boundedness of bilinear pseudo-differential operators of $S_{0,0}$-type on $L^2 \times L^2$

Abstract: We extend the known result that the bilinear pseudo-differential operators with symbols in the bilinear H\"ormander class $BS^{-n/2}_{0,0}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ are bounded from $L^2 \times L^2$ to $h^1$. We show that those operators are also bounded from $L^2 \times L^2$ to $L^r $ for every $1< r \le 2$. Moreover we give similar results for symbol classes wider than $BS^{-n/2}_{0,0}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. We also give results for symbols of limited smoothness.
