    We prove the LpL^p-boundedness for all p(1,)p \in (1,\infty) of the first-order Riesz transforms XjL1/2X_j \mathcal{L}^{-1/2} associated with the Laplacian L=j=0nXj2\mathcal{L} = -\sum_{j=0}^n X_j^2 on the ax+bax+b-group G=RnRG = \mathbb{R}^n \rtimes \mathbb{R}; here X0X_0 and X1,,XnX_1,\dots,X_n are left-invariant vector fields on GG in the directions of the factors R\mathbb{R} and Rn\mathbb{R}^n respectively. This settles a question left open in previous work of Hebisch and Steger (who proved the result for p2p \leq 2) and of Gaudry and Sj\"ogren (who only considered n=1=jn=1=j). The main novelty here is that we can treat the case p(2,)p \in (2,\infty) and include the Riesz transform in the direction of R\mathbb{R}; an operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorem on Rn\mathbb{R}^n turns out to be key to this purpose. We also establish a weak type (1,1)(1,1) endpoint for the adjoint Riesz transforms in the direction of Rn\mathbb{R}^n. By transference, our results imply the LpL^p-boundedness for p(1,)p \in (1,\infty) of the first-order Riesz transforms associated with the Schr\"odinger operator s2+e2s-\partial_s^2 + e^{2s} on the real line.Comment: 40 page

    No full text
    Il contributo nasce dalla relazione tenuta dalla Professoressa Giovanna Ligugnana, esperta della tematica relativa ai problemi di legittimazione delle associazioni ambientaliste in ambito europeo, presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche dell'Università La Sapienza di Roma. Nell'articolo si offre una ricostruzione dell'evoluzione normativa e giurisprudenziale di matrice europea sviluppatasi attorno al diritto di accesso alla giustizia ambientale, in particolare delle associazioni ambientaliste, ripercorrendone i tratti e le questioni più significative, dalla Convenzione di Aarhus fino agli scenari più recenti

    Amministrazione in transizione. Riflessioni sulla transizione ecologica e sull’organizzazione amministrativa al suo servizio

    Full text link
    Il contributo si sofferma sul riassetto del Ministero dell’Ambiente, che ha portato all’istituzione del Ministero della Transizione Ecologica. Alla luce del ruolo di primo piano assunto nel recente dibattito scientifico, in prima istanza si cerca di inquadrare il concetto di transizione ecologica in una prospettiva storica. In seconda istanza, attraverso gli esempi dell’ordinamento francese e spagnolo, viene data contezza di come la transizione ecologica sia stata utilizzata per il rinnovamento dei modelli ministeriali precedentemente posti a presidio dell’ambiente. Da ultimo, nell’analizzare la nuova struttura ministeriale italiana, vengono svolte delle riflessioni sul potenziale rapporto tra organizzazione amministrativa, funzioni e obiettivi normativi da perseguire, al fine di verificare se la transizione del modello amministrativo di riferimento sia all’altezza delle sfide della transizione ecologica

    Sulla rilevanza giuridica delle attività funebri tra vecchie esigenze e nuove prospettive

    The article aims to systematise funeral activities in the Italian framework by highlighting their main legally relevant features and verifying whether they can be qualified as public service or local public service activities. To this end, the analysis moves from the main doctrinal approaches of this topic and takes into account the regulatory trends, both the existing legislation and the law being established

    La neutralità tecnologica: un nuovo principio del diritto dell'ambiente?

    No full text
    Il diritto positivo è sempre più pervaso dal concetto di neutralità tecnologica, anche con riferimento alla normativa in materia di transizione ecologica e tutela dell’ambiente. Si tratta di un principio giuridico? Afferisce al diritto dell’ambiente? Il legislatore e le amministrazioni sono tenuti al suo rispetto nella produzione e attuazione di regole giuridiche? Sebbene l’esame della normativa vigente sembri prospettarne la qualificazione come principio giuridico espresso settoriale, ma difficilmente applicabile nell’attuazione delle politiche ambientali, nel contributo saranno esposti taluni elementi che renderebbero adattabile lo stesso anche nella materia ambientale.Positive law is increasingly influenced by the concept of technological neutrality, including in relation to regulations on ecological transition and environmental protection. Is this a principle of law? Does it pertain to environmental law? Are legislators and administrations required to comply with it in the creation and implementation of legal rules? While an analysis of the current legislation suggests its classification as an expressed sectoral legal principle, albeit one that is difficult to apply in the implementation of environmental policies, this contribution will present certain elements that could make it adaptable to the environmental field as well

    Sull’inadempimento degli obblighi della direttiva 2008/50/CE «qualità dell’aria ambiente» e l’applicazione di misure detentive coercitive. Il caso Deutsche Umwelthilfe eV (C-752/18)

    The Court of Justice of the European Union pronounces on the nonfulfilment of the obligations of Directive 2008/50/EC on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe by a Member State. The Court was asked to clarify if the European Union law allowed national judge to order the coercive detention of office holders responsible of the violation of the EU Directive. The importance and the innovation of the judgement in question lies in the fact that the preliminary ruling concerns the relation between the effectiveness of the European Union law and the respect of the fundamental rights, in this case the right to liberty and the right to an effective remedy

    Algebras of differential operators on Lie groups and spectral multipliers

    Full text link
    Let (X, μ) be a measure space, and let L1, . . . ,Ln be (possibly unbounded) selfadjoint operators on L2(X, μ), which commute strongly pairwise, i.e., which admit a joint spectral resolution E on Rn. A joint functional calculus is then defined via spectral integration: for every Borel function m : Rn → C, m(L) = m(L1, . . . ,Ln) = ∫ Rn m(λ) dE(λ) is a normal operator on L2(X, μ), which is bounded if and only if m - called the joint spectral multiplier associated to m(L) - is (E-essentially) bounded. However, the abstract theory of spectral integrals does not tackle the following problem: to find conditions on the multiplier m ensuring the boundedness of m(L) on Lp(X, μ) for some p ≠ 2. We are interested in this problem when the measure space is a connected Lie group G with a right Haar measure, and L1, . . . ,Ln are left-invariant differential operators on G. In fact, the question has been studied quite extensively in the case of a single operator, namely, a sublaplacian or a higher-order analogue. On the other hand, for multiple operators, only specific classes of groups and specific choices of operators have been considered in the literature. Suppose that L1, . . . ,Ln are formally self-adjoint, left-invariant differential operators on a connected Lie group G, which commute pairwise (as operators on smooth functions). Under the assumption that the algebra generated by L1, . . . ,Ln contains a weighted subcoercive operator --- a notion due to [ER98], including positive elliptic operators, sublaplacians and Rockland operators---we prove that L1, . . . ,Ln are (essentially) self-adjoint and strongly commuting on L2(G). Moreover, we perform an abstract study of such a system of operators, in connection with the algebraic structure and the representation theory of G, similarly as what is done in the literature for the algebras of differential operators associated with Gelfand pairs. Under the additional assumption that G has polynomial volume growth, weighted L1 estimates are obtained for the convolution kernel of the operator m(L) corresponding to a compactly supported multiplier m satisfying some smoothness condition. The order of smoothness which we require on m is related to the degree of polynomial growth of G. Some techniques are presented, which allow, for some specific groups and operators, to lower the smoothness requirement on the multiplier. In the case G is a homogeneous Lie group and L1, . . . ,Ln are homogeneous operators, a multiplier theorem of Mihlin-H\"ormander type is proved, extending the result for a single operator of [Chr91] and [MM90]. Further, a product theory is developed, by considering several homogeneous groups Gj , each of which with its own system of operators; a non-conventional use of transference techniques then yields a multiplier theorem of Marcinkiewicz type, not only on the direct product of the Gj , but also on other (possibly non-homogeneous) groups, containing homomorphic images of the Gj . Consequently, for certain non-nilpotent groups of polynomial growth and for some distinguished sublaplacians, we are able to improve the general result of [Ale94]
