We establish Littlewood-Paley decompositions for Muckenhoupt weights in the setting of UMD spaces. As a consequence we obtain two-weight variants of the Mikhlin multiplier theorem for operator-valued multipliers. We also show two-weight estimates for multipliers satisfying H\"ormander type conditions.
For a class of sparse operators including majorants of singular integral, square function, and fractional integral operators in a uniform manner, we prove off-diagonal two-weight estimates of mixed type in the two-weight and $A_{\infty}$-characteristics. These bounds are known to be sharp in many cases; as a new result, we prove their sharpness for fractional square functions.
We present a completely new structure theoretic approach to the dilation theory of linear operators. Our main result is the following theorem: if $X$ is a super-reflexive Banach space and $T$ is contained in the weakly closed convex hull of all invertible isometries on $X$, then $T$ admits a dilation to an invertible isometry on a Banach space $Y$ with the same regularity as $X$. The classical dilation theorems of Sz.-Nagy and Akcoglu-Sucheston are easy consequences of our general theory.
This is a survey on recent progress concerning maximal regularity of non-autonomous equations governed by time-dependent forms on a Hilbert space. It also contains two new results showing the limits of the theory.
We prove non-autonomous maximal $L^p$-regularity results on UMD spaces replacing the common H\"older assumption by a weaker fractional Sobolev regularity in time. This generalizes recent Hilbert space results by Dier and Zacher. In particular, on $L^q(\Omega)$ we obtain maximal $L^p$-regularity for $p \ge 2$ and elliptic operators in divergence form with uniform $VMO$-modulus in space and $W^{\alpha,p}$-regularity for $\alpha > \frac{1}{2}$ in time.
We show maximal $L^p$-regularity for non-autonomous Cauchy problems provided the trace spaces are stable in some parameterized sense and the time dependence is of bounded variation. In particular, on $L^2$, we obtain for all $p \in (1,2]$ maximal $L^p$-regularity for non-autonomous elliptic operators with measurable coefficients.
We show that the bilateral shift group on $L^p(\mathbb{R})$ for $p \in (1, \infty) \setminus \{2\}$ provides a counterexample to the inverse generator problem.
An old problem due to J.-L. Lions going back to the 1960s asks whether the abstract Cauchy problem associated to non-autonomous forms has maximal regularity if the time dependence is merely assumed to be continuous or even measurable. We give a negative answer to this question and discuss the minimal regularity needed for positive results.
We obtain $L^p(L^q)$ maximal regularity estimates for time dependent second order elliptic operators in divergence form with rough dependencies in the spatial variables.
We show that any bounded analytic semigroup on $L^p$ (with $1<p<\infty$) whose negative generator admits a bounded $H^{\infty}$ functional calculus with respect to some angle $< \pi/2$ can be dilated into a bounded analytic semigroup $(R_t)_{t\geq 0}$ on a bigger $L^p$-space in such a way that $R_t$ is a positive contraction for any $t$. We also establish a discrete analogue for Ritt operators and consider the case when $L^p$-spaces are replaced by more general Banach spaces. In connection with these functional calculus issues, we study isometric dilations of bounded continuous representations of amenable groups on Banach spaces and establish various generalizations of Dixmier's unitarization theorem.
Using methods from Banach space theory, we prove two new structural results on maximal regularity. The first says that there exist positive analytic semigroups on UMD-Banach lattices, namely $\ell_p(\ell_q)$ for $p \neq q \in (1, \infty)$, without maximal regularity. In the second result we show that the extrapolation problem for maximal regularity behaves in the worst possible way: for every interval $I \subset (1, \infty)$ with $2 \in I$ there exists a family of consistent bounded analytic semigroups $(T_p(z))_{z \in \Sigma_{\pi/2}}$ on $L_p(\mathbb{R})$ such that $(T_p(z))$ has maximal regularity if and only if $p \in I$.
We give a survey on the different regularity properties of sectorial operators on Banach spaces. We present the main results and open questions in the theory and then concentrate on the known methods to construct various counterexamples.
We consider the non-linear thermoelastic plate equation in rectangular domains $\Omega$. More precisely, $\Omega$ is considered to be given as the Cartesian product of whole or half spaces and a cube. First the linearized equation is treated as an abstract Cauchy problem in $L^p$-spaces. We take advantage of the structure of $\Omega$ and apply operator-valued Fourier multiplier results to infer an $\mathcal R$-bounded $\mathcal H^\infty$-calculus. With the help of maximal $L^p$-regularity existence and uniqueness of local real-analytic strong solutions together with analytic dependency on the data is shown.
We show that a bounded analytic semigroup on an $L_p$-space has a bounded $H^{\infty}(\Sigma_{\varphi})$-calculus for some $\varphi < \frac{\pi}{2}$ if and only if the semigroup can be obtained, after restricting to invariant subspaces, factorizing through invariant subspaces and similarity transforms, from a bounded analytic semigroup on some bigger $L_p$-space which is positive and contractive on the real line.
We give a new more explicit proof of a result by Kalton & Lancien stating that on each Banach space with an unconditional basis not isomorphic to a Hilbert space there exists a generator of a holomorphic semigroup which does not have maximal regularity. In particular, we show that there always exists a Schauder basis (f_m) such that the generator is a Schauder multiplier associated to the sequence (2^m). Moreover, we show that maximal regularity does not extrapolate: we construct consistent holomorphic semigroups (T_p(t)) on L^p for p in (1, \infty) which have maximal regularity if and only if p = 2. These assertions were both open problems. Our approach is completely different than the one of Kalton & Lancien. We use the characterization of maximal regularity by R-sectoriality for our construction.
An interesting result by T. Kato and A. Pazy says that a contractive semigroup (T(t)) on a uniformly convex space X is holomorphic iff limsup_{t \downarrow 0} ||T(t)-Id|| < 2. We study extensions of this result which are valid on arbitrary Banach spaces for semigroups which are not necessarily contractive. This allows us to prove a general extrapolation result for holomorphy of semigroups on interpolation spaces of exponent {\theta} in (0,1). As application we characterize boundedness of the generator of a cosine family on a UMD-space by a zero-two law. Moreover, our methods can be applied to R-sectoriality: We obtain a characterization of maximal regularity by the behaviour of the semigroup at zero and show extrapolation results.
