Weighted norm inequalities, Gaussian bounds and sharp spectral multipliers

Let L be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on L²(X) where X is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that L generates a holomorphic semigroup e−tL whose kernels pt(x,y) have Gaussian upper bounds but there is no assumption on the regularity in variables x and y. In this article, we study weighted Lp-norm inequalities for spectral multipliers of L. We show that sharp weighted Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from Gaussian heat kernel bounds and appropriate L² estimates of the kernels of the spectral multipliers. These results are applicable to spectral multipliers for large classes of operators including Laplace operators acting on Lie groups of polynomial growth or irregular non-doubling domains of Euclidean spaces, elliptic operators on compact manifolds and Schrödinger operators with non-negative potentials.     

Littlewood–Paley and Spectral Multipliers on Weighted L p Spaces

Let L be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on L ²(X), where X is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that L generates a holomorphic semigroup e ^?tL whose kernel p _t (x,y) has a Gaussian upper bound but there is no assumption on the regularity in variables x and y. In this article we study weighted L ^p -norm inequalities for spectral multipliers of L. We show that a weighted Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorem follows from weighted L ^p -norm inequalities for the Lusin and Littlewood–Paley functions, Gaussian heat kernel bounds, and appropriate L ² estimates of the kernels of the spectral multipliers.     

Norm convergence of multiple ergodic averages on amenable groups

We consider abstract non-negative self-adjoint operators on L²(X) which satisfy the finite-speed propagation property for the corresponding wave equation. For such operators, we introduce a restriction type condition, which in the case of the standard Laplace operator is equivalent to (p, 2) restriction estimate of Stein and Tomas. Next, we show that in the considered abstract setting, our restriction type condition implies sharp spectral multipliers and endpoint estimates for the Bochner-Riesz summability. We also observe that this restriction estimate holds for operators satisfying dispersive or Strichartz estimates. We obtain new spectral multiplier results for several second order differential operators and recover some known results. Our examples include Schrödinger operators with inverse square potentials on Rⁿ, the harmonic oscillator, elliptic operators on compact manifolds, and Schr¨odinger operators on asymptotically conic manifolds.     

Singular convolution integrals with operator-valued kernel

We study operators \(f\mapsto Kf\) of the form \((Kf)(t)=\int_{{\bf R}^{n}} k(t-s)f(s) {\rm d}s\), where f is a vector-valued function and k an operator-valued singular kernel. Sufficient conditions for boundedness on L ^p -spaces of UMD-valued functions are given in terms of a Hörmander-type condition involving R-boundedness. The results cover large classes of kernels and also provide new proofs of recent operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems. Moreover, they give new information about families of singular integral operators.     

Sharp spectral multipliers for operators satisfying generalized Gaussian estimates

Let L   be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on L²(X)$L^2(X)$ where X is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that L   generates a holomorphic semigroup e^−tL$e^{-tL}$ which satisfies generalized m-th order Gaussian estimates. In this article, we study singular and dyadically supported spectral multipliers for abstract self-adjoint operators. We show that in this setting sharp spectral multiplier results follow from Plancherel or Stein–Tomas type estimates. These results are applicable to spectral multipliers for a large class of operators including m-th order elliptic differential operators with constant coefficients, biharmonic operators with rough potentials and Laplace type operators acting on fractals.     

Hörmander-type multipliers on locally compact Vilenkin groups: theL 1(G)-case

In [3] and [4]Kitada presented Hörmander-type multiplier theorems for Lebesgue and Hardy spaces defined over a locally compact Vilenkin groupG. Like in the classical case, multipliers for the spaceL ¹(G) were not included in these results. In the present paper we discuss this particular case and we show how we need to modify the usual Hörmander multiplier condition to obtainL ¹ (G)-multipliers.     

On multipliers on compact Lie groups

In this note we announce L ^p multiplier theorems for invariant and noninvariant operators on compact Lie groups in the spirit of the well-known Hörmander-Mikhlin theorem on ? ⁿ and its versions on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ . Applications to mapping properties of pseudo-differential operators on L ^p -spaces and to a priori estimates for nonhypoelliptic operators are given.     

Heat Kernel Estimates for Schrödinger Operators on Exterior Domains with Robin Boundary Conditions

We study Schrödinger operators with Robin boundary conditions on exterior domains in ? ^d . We prove sharp point-wise estimates for the associated semigroups which show, in particular, how the boundary conditions affect the time decay of the heat kernel in dimensions one and two. Applications to spectral estimates are discussed as well.     

Bounds on Oscillatory Integral Operators Based on Multilinear Estimates

We apply the Bennett–Carbery–Tao multilinear restriction estimate in order to bound restriction operators and more general oscillatory integral operators. We get improved L ^p estimates in the Stein restriction problem for dimension at least 5 and a small improvement in dimension 3. We prove similar estimates for H?rmander-type oscillatory integral operators when the quadratic term in the phase function is positive definite, getting improvements in dimension at least 5. We also prove estimates for H?rmander-type oscillatory integral operators in even dimensions. These last oscillatory estimates are related to improved bounds on the dimensions of curved Kakeya sets in even dimensions.     

Weighted restriction type estimates for Grushin operators and application to spectral multipliers and Bochner–Riesz summability

We prove weighted restriction type estimates for Grushin operators. These estimates are then used to prove sharp spectral multiplier theorems as well as Bochner–Riesz summability results with sharp exponent.     

The Integrated Density of States for Some Random Operators with Nonsign Definite Potentials

We study the integrated density of states of random Anderson-type additive and multiplicative perturbations of deterministic background operators for which the single-site potential does not have a fixed sign. Our main result states that, under a suitable assumption on the regularity of the random variables, the integrated density of states of such random operators is locally Hölder continuous at energies below the bottom of the essential spectrum of the background operator for any nonzero disorder, and at energies in the unperturbed spectral gaps, provided the randomness is sufficiently small. The result is based on a proof of a Wegner estimate with the correct volume dependence. The proof relies upon the L^p-theory of the spectral shift function for p?1 (Comm. Math. Phys.218 (2001), 113-130), and the vector field methods of Klopp (Comm. Math. Phys.167 (1995), 553-569). We discuss the application of this result to Schrödinger operators with random magnetic fields and to band-edge localization.     

Absence of Non-Constant Harmonic Functions with ℓp-gradient in some Semi-Direct Products

We study potential operators associated with Laguerre function expansions of convolution and Hermite types, and with Dunkl-Laguerre expansions. We prove qualitatively sharp estimates of the corresponding potential kernels. Then we characterize those 1 ≤ p,q ≤ 8, for which the potential operators are L ^p - L ^q bounded. These results are sharp analogues of the classical Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev fractional integration theorem in the Laguerre and Dunkl-Laguerre settings.     

Boundedness of pseudodifferential operators on modulation spaces

We study classes of pseudodifferential operators which are bounded on large collections of modulation spaces. The conditions on the operators are stated in terms of the L^p,q estimates for the continuous Gabor transforms of their symbols. In particular, we show how these classes are related to the class of operators of Gröchenig and Heil, which is bounded on all modulation spaces.     

Global solvability for first order real linear partial differential operators

F. Treves, in [17], using a notion of convexity of sets with respect to operators due to B. Malgrange and a theorem of C. Harvey, characterized globally solvable linear partial differential operators on C^∞(X), for an open subset X of Rn.Let P=L+c be a linear partial differential operator with real coefficients on a C^∞ manifold X, where L is a vector field and c is a function. If L has no critical points, J. Duistermaat and L. Hörmander, in [2], proved five equivalent conditions for global solvability of P on C^∞(X).Based on Harvey-Treves's result we prove sufficient conditions for the global solvability of P on C^∞(X), in the spirit of geometrical Duistermaat-Hörmander's characterizations, when L is zero at precisely one point. For this case, additional non-resonance type conditions on the value of c at the equilibrium point are necessary.     

L-Fourier multipliers for the Dunkl operator on the real line

We consider Fourier multipliers for L^p associated with the Dunkl operator on and establish a version of Hörmander's multiplier theorem. In applying this version, we come up with some results regarding the oscillating multipliers, partial sum operators and generalized Bessel potentials.     

Estimates for the Small Ball Probabilities of the Fractional Brownian Sheet

We obtain some new estimates for the small ball behavior of the d-dimensional fractional Brownian sheet under Hölder and Orlicz norms. For d=2, these bounds are sharp for the Orlicz and the sup-norm. In addition, we give bounds for the Kolmogorov and entropy numbers of some operators satisfying an L ₂-Hölder-type condition.     

Weighted norm inequalities, off-diagonal estimates and elliptic operators. Part III: Harmonic analysis of elliptic operators

This is the third part of a series of four articles on weighted norm inequalities, off-diagonal estimates and elliptic operators. For L in some class of elliptic operators, we study weighted norm Lp inequalities for singular “non-integral” operators arising from L; those are the operators φ(L) for bounded holomorphic functions φ, the Riesz transforms ∇L−1/2 (or (−Δ)^1/2L−1/2) and its inverse L1/2(−Δ)^−1/2, some quadratic functionals gL and GL of Littlewood-Paley-Stein type and also some vector-valued inequalities such as the ones involved for maximal Lp-regularity. For each, we obtain sharp or nearly sharp ranges of p using the general theory for boundedness of Part I and the off-diagonal estimates of Part II. We also obtain commutator results with BMO functions.     

Sharp bounds for multiplier operators of negative indices associated with degenerate curves

In this note we show the sharp L ^p ?CL ^q boundedness of multiplier operators of Bochner?CRiesz type having negative indices of which singularity is located in degenerate curve in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ . L ^p ?CL ^q boundedness of their maximal operators is also obtained.     

Some embedding theorems for Hörmander-Beurling spaces

In this paper we prove a number of results on sequence space representations and embedding theorems of Hörmander-Beurling spaces. As a consequence and using sharp results of Meise, Taylor and Vogt, a result of Kaballo on short sequences and hypoelliptic operators is extended to ω-hypoelliptic differential operators and to the vector-valued setting.     

Interpolation of operators of weak type (ϕ, ϕ)

Considering the measurable and nonnegative functions ? on the half-axis [0, ∞) such that ?(0) = 0 and ?(t) → ∞ as t → ∞, we study the operators of weak type (?, ?) that map the classes of ?-Lebesgue integrable functions to the space of Lebesgue measurable real functions on ?ⁿ. We prove interpolation theorems for the subadditive operators of weak type (?₀, ?₀) bounded in L _∞(?ⁿ) and subadditive operators of weak types (?₀, ?₀) and (?₁, ?₁) in L _?(? ⁿ ) under some assumptions on the nonnegative and increasing functions ?(x) on [0, ∞). We also obtain some interpolation theorems for the linear operators of weak type (?₀, ?₀) bounded from L _∞(?ⁿ) to BMO(? ⁿ). For the restrictions of these operators to the set of characteristic functions of Lebesgue measurable sets, we establish some estimates for rearrangements of moduli of their values; deriving a consequence, we obtain a theorem on the boundedness of operators in rearrangement-invariant spaces.
