$H^\infty$--functional calculus for generators of semigroups that admit lower bounds

Abstract

We study $C_0$-semigroups on UMD Banach spaces under the assumption that a single semigroup operator admits a lower bound. We establish boundedness of $H^\infty$ functional calculi for the negative generator of such semigroups. Our approach is based on a dilation argument: combining a recent construction due to Madani with transference results for groups on UMD spaces, we embed the semigroup into a $C_0$-group on a larger space and transfer functional calculus estimates back to the original generator. As a byproduct, we obtain quantitative exponential lower bounds for the semigroup. We also show that equivalences due to Batty and Geyer, valid in Hilbert spaces, fail in the general Banach space setting.

Vector-valued partial sums on unbounded Vilenkin systems

Let \(\Gm=\prod_{k\ge0}\mathbb Z_{m_k}\) be a Vilenkin group that is not necessarily bounded, i.e., \(\sup_k m_k=\infty\). We prove that, for every UMD Banach space \(X\) and every \(1<p<\infty\), the Vilenkin partial-sum operators are uniformly bounded on \(L^p(\Gm;X)\), with a bound depending only on \(p\) and the UMD constant of \(X\), and not on \(\mathbf m\). This resolves an open problem arising from the work of Clément et al.~\cite{ClementDePagterSukochevWitvliet2000} and later recorded explicitly in the book of Hytönen et al.~\cite[p.~362]{HNVWI}. The proof reduces the partial-sum estimate, via a Paley conjugation identity and a tangent-sequence decoupling argument, to a decoupling inequality for Fourier projections on finite cyclic groups, which appears to be new. The same approach also yields \(\mathcal R\)-boundedness for the family of partial-sum operators associated with the finer block decomposition, thereby resolving another related problem communicated to us by Fedor Sukochev.

A Complex Geometric Approach to the Discrete Gabor Transform and Localization Operators on the Flat Torus

In a recent paper, the discrete Gabor transform was connected to a Gabor transform with a time frequency domain given by the flat torus. We show that the corresponding Bargmann-Fock spaces can be expressed as theta functions (or equivalently line bundles on Abelian varieties). We give applications of this viewpoint to frame results for the discrete Gabor transform. In particular, we get necessary conditions which hold in higher dimensions and can expand the known results in the one dimensional case, the primary tool being the theorem of the square. We also give an application to asymptotics of restriction operators which arises via the asymptotic behavior of Bergman kernels and Toeplitz operators for high tensor powers of line bundles and find that time frequency restriction operators on the flat torus will exhibit "plunge" behaviors similar to those of time frequency restriction operators in other contexts.

On a minimal Andô dilation for a pair of strict contractions

The isometric dilation of a pair of commuting contractions due to Andô is not minimal. We modify Andô's dilation and construct a minimal isometric dilation on $\mathcal H \oplus_2 \ell_2(\mathcal H \oplus_2 \mathcal H)$ for a commuting pair of strict contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. In the same spirit, we construct under certain conditions a minimal Andô dilation for a commuting pair of strict Banach space contractions. Further, we show that an Andô dilation is possible even for a more general pair of commuting contractions $(T_1,T_2)$ on a normed space $\mathbb X$ provided that the function $A_{T_i}: \mathbb X \rightarrow \mathbb R$ given by $A_{T_i}(x)=(\|x\|^2-\|T_ix\|^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ defines a norm on $\mathbb X$ for $i=1,2$.
