Spectrum of the Laplacian and Riesz transform on locally symmetric spaces

We assume that the discrete part of the spectrum of the Laplacian on a non-compact locally symmetric space is non-empty and we prove that the Riesz transform is bounded on Lp for all p in an interval around 2.     

Riesz transform,Gaussian bounds and the method of wave equation

For an abstract self-adjoint operator L and a local operator A we study the boundedness of the Riesz transform AL^– on L^p for some > 0. A very simple proof of the obtained result is based on the finite speed propagation property for the solution of the corresponding wave equation. We also discuss the relation between the Gaussian bounds and the finite speed propagation property. Using the wave equation methods we obtain a new natural form of the Gaussian bounds for the heat kernels for a large class of the generating operators. We describe a surprisingly elementary proof of the finite speed propagation property in a more general setting than it is usually considered in the literature.As an application of the obtained results we prove boundedness of the Riesz transform on L^p for all p (1,2] for Schrödinger operators with positive potentials and electromagnetic fields. In another application we discuss the Gaussian bounds for the Hodge Laplacian and boundedness of the Riesz transform on L^p of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Riemannian manifolds for p > 2.Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): 42B20The author was partially supported by Summer Research Award from New Mexico State University.in final form: 8 June 2003     

Riesz transform on manifolds and heat kernel regularity

One considers the class of complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds whose heat kernel satisfies Gaussian estimates from above and below. One shows that the Riesz transform is Lp bounded on such a manifold, for p ranging in an open interval above 2, if and only if the gradient of the heat kernel satisfies a certain Lp estimate in the same interval of p's.     

Martingale Transforms and Their Projection Operators on Manifolds

We prove the boundedness on L ^p , 1?<?p?<?∞, of operators on manifolds which arise by taking conditional expectation of transformations of stochastic integrals. These operators include various classical operators such as second order Riesz transforms and operators of Laplace transform-type.     

Non Linear Singular Drifts and Fractional Operators: when Besov meets Morrey and Campanato

In this paper, we show that, for doubling manifolds satisfiying the scaled Poincaré inequalities and \(p\in (2,\infty )\), the boundedness of the Riesz transform dΔ^?1/2 on L ^p , is essentially equivalent to the fact that \(H_{1,d}^{p}\) is equal the L ^p closure of the set of L ^p exact harmonic 1-forms. Here, \(H_{1,d}^{p}\) is a Hardy space of exact 1 ?forms, naturally associated with the Riesz transform, as defined by Auscher, McIntosh and Russ.     

Generalized lipschitz conditions and riesz derivatives on the space of bessel potentials Lp α

In the foregoing Note (this Journal Vol.I.p. 75-99) the space of n-dimensional Bessel potentials L^p _x was deseribed in terms of generalized Lipschitz conditions of f or its Riesz transform for 0<∝≦2 The still open case ∝>1 is treated in the first half of this paper, firstly by introducing appropriate iterates of the cited conditions, secondly by using derivatives of f and its Riesz transform, in particular the Laplacian △ and the gradient of the Riesz transformation(▽,R and by applying the former results In Section 6 a definition of a Riesz derivative of order ∝ is given and based upon the concept: Integrate f(m-α)-times in the sense of Riesz and then differentiate [d]m-times (by considering the limit of suitable difference quotients of f). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of these Riesz derivatives are obtained All results also hold in the non-reflexive spaces[d]     

Dimension free estimates for Riesz transforms of some Schr?dinger operators

We prove dimension free L ^∞ → L ^∞-estimates for the Riesz transform T = V L ⁻¹, L = −Δ + V, where Δ is the Laplacian in ℝ ^d , and the polynomial V ≥ 0 satisfies C. L. Fefferman conditions; see [7]. As a corollary we get dimension free L ^p → L p(ℓ ²)-estimates, 1 < p < ∞, for the vector of Riesz transforms.     

Spectral approximation by L 2 discretization of the Laplace operator on manifolds of bounded geometry

The author considers a discretization of the p-form Laplacian on open complete Riemannian manifolds of bounded geometry. Following Dodziuk and Patodi [8], the eigenvalues below the essential spectrum together with their eigenforms are approximated by eigenvalues and eigencochains of a semicombinatorical Laplacian acting on L ₂-cochains. We obtain a similar result for a ray which is contained in the essential spectrum. An example of a manifold of bounded geometry which admits eigenvalues below the essential spectrum is constructed.     

Generalized bochner theorems and the spectrum of complete manifolds

Bochner's theorem that a compact Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature has vanishing first cohomology group has various extensions to complete noncompact manifolds with Ricci possibly negative. One still has a vanishing theorem for L ² harmonic one-forms if the infimum of the spectrum of the Laplacian on functions is greater than minus the infimum of the Ricci curvature. This result and its analogues for p-forms yield vanishing results for certain infinite volume hyperbolic manifolds. This spectral condition also imposes topological restrictions on the ends of the manifold. More refined results are obtained by taking a certain Brownian motion average of the Ricci curvature; if this average is positive, one has a vanishing theorem for the first cohomology group with compact supports on the universal cover of a compact manifold. There are corresponding results for L ² harmonic spinors on spin manifolds.     

Potential operators associated with Hankel and Hankel-Dunkl transforms

We study Riesz and Bessel potentials in the settings of Hankel transform, modified Hankel transform and Hankel-Dunkl transform. We prove sharp or qualitatively sharp pointwise estimates of the corresponding potential kernels. Then we characterize those 1 ≤ p, q≤∞, for which the potential operators satisfy L ^p -L ^q estimates. In case of the Riesz potentials, we also characterize those 1 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞, for which two-weight L ^p -L ^q estimates, with power weights involved, hold. As a special case of our results, we obtain a full characterization of two power-weight L ^p -L ^q bounds for the classical Riesz potentials in the radial case. This complements an old result of Rubin and its recent reinvestigations by De Nápoli, Drelichman and Durán, and Duoandikoetxea.     

Martingale transforms and L p -norm estimates of Riesz transforms on complete Riemannian manifolds

Under the condition that the Bakry–Emery Ricci curvature is bounded from below, we prove a probabilistic representation formula of the Riesz transforms associated with a symmetric diffusion operator on a complete Riemannian manifold. Using the Burkholder sharp L ^p -inequality for martingale transforms, we obtain an explicit and dimension-free upper bound of the L ^p -norm of the Riesz transforms on such complete Riemannian manifolds for all 1 < p < ∞. In the Euclidean and the Gaussian cases, our upper bound is asymptotically sharp when p→ 1 and when p→ ∞.

Riesz potentials and integral geometry in the space of rectangular matrices

Riesz potentials on the space of rectangular n×m matrices arise in diverse “higher rank” problems of harmonic analysis, representation theory, and integral geometry. In the rank-one case m=1 they coincide with the classical operators of Marcel Riesz. We develop new tools and obtain a number of new results for Riesz potentials of functions of matrix argument. The main topics are the Fourier transform technique, representation of Riesz potentials by convolutions with a positive measure supported by submanifolds of matrices of rank<m, the behavior on smooth and L^p functions. The results are applied to investigation of Radon transforms on the space of real rectangular matrices.     

Vanishing Theorems for Conformally Compact Manifolds

Abstract

We study L ² harmonic p-forms on conformally compact manifolds with a rather weak boundary regularity assumption. We proved that if the lower bound of the curvature operator is great than or equal to ?1 and the infimum of the L ² spectrum of the Laplacian great than p(n ? p) for some p ≤ n/2, then there is no nontrivial L ² harmonic p-form.

Spectral geometry for almost isospectral hermitian manifolds

The following question was posed by M. Berger: Is it possible to determine from the spectrum of the real Laplacian whether or not a manifold is Kähler? The Kähler condition for Hermitian manifolds is found out from the invariants of the spectrum of some differential operators acting on forms of type (p, q). P. Gilkey and H. Donnelly proved the Berger conjecture for the complex Laplacian and the reduced complex Laplacian respectively. In this paper we consider the Berger conjecture of almost isospectral Hermitian manifolds about the complex Laplacian acting on forms of type (p, q). Then we can show that a closed complexm(≥ 3)-dimensional Hermitian manifold which is strongly (?2/m)-isospectral to the complex projective space CP ^m with the Fubini-Study metric is holomorphically isometric to CP ^m .     

Riesz transform and integration by parts formulas for random variables

We use integration by parts formulas to give estimates for the L^p norm of the Riesz transform. This is motivated by the representation formula for conditional expectations of functionals on the Wiener space already given in Malliavin and Thalmaier (2006) [13]. As a consequence, we obtain regularity and estimates for the density of non-degenerated functionals on the Wiener space. We also give a semi-distance which characterizes the convergence to the boundary of the set of the strict positivity points for the density.     

Spectra of singular measures as multipliers on Lp

Stein's theorem on the interpolation of a family of operators between two analytic spaces is generalized, both to a multiply connected domain and to an interpolation between more than two spaces. The theorem is then applied to get setwise upper bounds for spectra of convolution operators on L^p of the circle. In particular the spectra of operators given by convolution by Cantor-Lebesgue-type measures on L^p are determined. The same is done for certain Riesz products. These results are used to derive a result on translation-invariant subspaces of L^p of the circle.     

Poisson integrals and Riesz transforms for Hermite function expansions with weights

We consider expansions with respect to the multi-dimensional Hermite functions which are eigenfunctions of the harmonic oscillator L=−Δ+|x|². For the heat-diffusion and Poisson semigroups corresponding to a self-adjoint extension of L we investigate their boundary behaviour and mapping properties. All this is done for functions from L^p(w), 1?p<∞, w∈A_p. Then Riesz transforms and conjugate Poisson integrals are considered. The Riesz transforms occur to be Calderón-Zygmund operators hence their mapping properties follow by using results from a general theory.     

On local summability of Riesz potentials in the case Reα>0

The rangeI ^α (L _p ) of the Riesz potential operator, defined in the sense of distributions in the casep≥n/α, is shown to consist of regular distributions. Moreover, it is shown thatI ^α (L _p ) ?L _p ^loc (R ⁿ ) for all 1≤p<∞ and 0<α<∞. The distribution space used is that of Lizorkin, which is invariant with respect to the Riesz operator.
