Strong continuity of generalized Feynman-Kac semigroups: Necessary and sufficient conditions

Let (E,D(E)) be a strongly local, quasi-regular symmetric Dirichlet form on L²(E;m) and ((Xt)_t?0,(Px)_x∈E) the diffusion process associated with (E,D(E)). For u∈De(E), u has a quasi-continuous version and has Fukushima's decomposition: , where is the martingale part and is the zero energy part. In this paper, we study the strong continuity of the generalized Feynman-Kac semigroup defined by , t?0. Two necessary and sufficient conditions for to be strongly continuous are obtained by considering the quadratic form (Qu,Db(E)), where Qu(f,f):=E(f,f)+E(u,f²) for f∈Db(E), and the energy measure μ〈u〉 of u, respectively. An example is also given to show that is strongly continuous when μ〈u〉 is not a measure of the Kato class but of the Hardy class with the constant (cf. Definition 4.5).     

Spectral conditions for admissibility of evolution equations in Hilbert space

We study properties of solutions of the evolution equation , where B is a closable operator on the space AP(R,H) of almost periodic functions with values in a Hilbert space H such that B commutes with translations. The operator B generates a family of closed operators on H such that (whenever eiλtx∈D(B)). For a closed subset Λ⊂R, we prove that the following properties (i) and (ii) are equivalent: (i) for every function f∈AP(R,H) such that σ(f)⊆Λ, there exists a unique mild solution u∈AP(R,H) of Eq. (∗) such that σ(u)⊆Λ; (ii) is invertible for all λ∈Λ and .

A lower bound for the Lindelöf function associated to generalized integers

In this paper we study generalized prime systems for which the integer counting function NP(x) is asymptotically well-behaved, in the sense that NP(x)=ρx+O(xβ), where ρ is a positive constant and . For such systems, the associated zeta function ζP(s) has finite order for , and the Lindelöf function μP(σ) may be defined. We prove that for all such systems, μP(σ)?μ₀(σ) for σ>β, where

     

Non-spectrality of planar self-affine measures with three-elements digit set

The self-affine measure μM,D associated with an affine iterated function system {?d(x)=M−1(x+d)}_d∈D is uniquely determined. The problems of determining the spectrality or non-spectrality of a measure μM,D have been received much attention in recent years. One of the non-spectral problem on μM,D is to estimate the number of orthogonal exponentials in L²(μM,D) and to find them. In the present paper we show that for an expanding integer matrix M∈M₂(Z) and the three-elements digit set D given by

     

On Fourier algebra homomorphisms

Let G be a locally compact group and let B(G) be the dual space of C∗(G), the group C∗ algebra of G. The Fourier algebra A(G) is the closed ideal of B(G) generated by elements with compact support. The Fourier algebras have a natural operator space structure as preduals of von Neumann algebras. Given a completely bounded algebra homomorphism we show that it can be described, in terms of a piecewise affine map with Y in the coset ring of H, as follows

Maximal operators related to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup with complex time parameter

Let γ be the Gaussian measure in Rd and Ht, t>0, the corresponding Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, whose infinitesimal generator is . For each p with 1<p<∞, let Ep⊂C be the closure of the region of holomorphy of the map t?Ht taking values in the space of bounded operators on Lp(γ). We examine the maximal operator . The known results about concern mainly the case p<2. We prove that for p>2 this operator is of weak type but not of strong type (p,p) for γ. However, if a neighbourhood of the origin is deleted from Ep in the definition of , the resulting operator is shown to be of strong type.
