چکیده
We study Lp-theory of second order elliptic divergence type operators with measurable coefficients. To this end, we introduce a new method of constructing positive C0-semigroups on Lp associated with sesquilinear (not necessarily sectorial) forms in L2. A precise condition ensuring that the elliptic operator is associated with a quasi-contractive C0-semigroup on Lp is established.

On the Lp-theory of C0-semigroups associated with second order elliptic operators. II
We study positive C0-semigroups on Lp associated with second order uniformly elliptic divergence type operators with singular lower order terms, subject to a wide class of boundary conditions. We obtain an interval (pmin, pmax) in the Lp-scale where these semigroups can be defined, including the case 2 6∈ (pmin, pmax). We present an example showing that the result is optimal. We also show that ...
متن کاملElliptic operators generating stochastic semigroups
We use an intrinsic metric type approach to investigate when C0-semigroups generated by second order elliptic differential operators are stochastic. We give a new condition for stochasticity that encompasses the volume growth conditions by Karp and Li and by Perelmuter and Semenov. MSC 2000: 47D07, 35J15, 47B44
متن کاملTowards an L-theory for Vector-valued Elliptic Boundary Value Problems
Vector-valued elliptic and parabolic boundary value problems subject to general boundary conditions have been investigated recently in [DHP01] in the Lp-context for 1 < p < 1. One of the main goals of this paper was to deduce a maximal Lp-regularity result for the solution of the parabolic initial boundary value problem. A classical reference in the elliptic context are the celebrated papers of...
متن کاملL∞-estimates for the torsion function and L∞-growth of semigroups satisfying Gaussian bounds
We investigate selfadjoint C0-semigroups on Euclidean domains satisfying Gaussian upper bounds. Major examples are semigroups generated by second order uniformly elliptic operators with Kato potentials and magnetic fields. We study the long time behaviour of the L∞ operator norm of the semigroup. As an application we prove a new L∞-bound for the torsion function of a Euclidean domain that is cl...
متن کاملLp-analyticity of Schrödinger semigroups on Riemannian manifolds
We address the problems of extrapolation, analyticity, and Lp-spectral independence for C0-semigroups in the abstract context of metric spaces with exponentially bounded volume. The main application of the abstract result is Lp-analyticity of angle π 2 of Schrödinger semigroups on Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below, under the condition of form smallness of the negative part...
