We consider the linear thermoelastic plate equations with free boundary conditions in the Lp in time and Lq in space setting. We obtain unique solvability with optimal regularity for the inhomogeneous problem in a uniform C-domain, which includes the cases of a bounded domain and of an exterior domain with C-boundary. Moreover, we prove uniform a priori-estimates for the solution. The proof is ...

A nonzero 2-cocycle Γ ∈ Z(g,R) on the Lie algebra g of a compact Lie group G defines a twisted version of the Lie-Poisson structure on the dual Lie algebra g∗, leading to a Poisson algebra C∞(g∗(Γ)). Similarly, a multiplier c ∈ Z (G, U(1)) on G which is smooth near the identity defines a twist in the convolution product on G, encoded by the twisted group C∗algebra C∗(G, c). Further to some supe...

We study the space of functions ϕ: IN → C such that there is a Hilbert space H, a power bounded operator T in B(H) and vectors ξ, η in H such that ϕ(n) = T n ξ, η. This implies that the matrix (ϕ(i + j)) i,j≥0 is a Schur multiplier of B(ℓ 2) or equivalently is in the space (ℓ 1 ∨ ⊗ ℓ 1) *. We show that the converse does not hold, which answers a question raised by Peller [Pe]. Our approach make...

In this paper we give some characterizations of M. Hamana’s injective envelope I(A) of a C∗-algebra A in the setting of operator spaces and completely bounded maps. These characterizations lead to simplifications and generalizations of some known results concerning completely bounded projections onto C∗-algebras. We prove that I(A) is rigid for completely bounded A-module maps. This rigidity yi...
