    Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups in infinite dimension

    No full text
    This is a survey paper about Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups in infinite dimension and their generators. We start from the classical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on Wiener spaces and then discuss the general case in Hilbert spaces. Finally, we present some results for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups on Banach spaces. This article is part of the theme issue 'Semigroup applications everywhere'

    Kernel Estimates for Schroedinger Operators

    No full text
    We prove short time estimates for the heat kernel of Schrödinger operators with unbounded potential in RNR^N. More precisely, if we denote by p(x;y;t)p(x; y; t) the heat kernel of the Schrödinger operator H=Δ+VH =-\Delta +V, then we prove upper bounds like p(x;y;t)c(t)ϕ(x)ϕ(y)p(x; y; t)\le c(t)\phi(x)\phi(y) for a large class of potentials tending to ++\infty as x|x| \to \infty , under the main assumption that ω=1/ϕ\omega =1/\phi satisfies ω(x)+\omega(x)\to +\infty as x|x|\to \infty and HωgoωH\omega \ge g o \omega , where g is a convex function growing faster than linearly. The behaviour of c(t) near 0 is also shown to be precise. Similar bounds are also proved for the derivatives of p. Our analysis provides a family of such estimates e.g. for V(x)=xαV(x)=|x|^\alpha for every α>0\alpha >0

    Global properties of invariant measures

    No full text
    We study global regularity properties of invariant measures associated with second order differential operators in RN\R^N. Under suitable conditions, we prove global boundedness of the density, Sobolev regularity, a Harnack inequality and pointwise upper and lower bounds. Many local regularity properties are known for invariant measures, even under very weak conditions on the coefficients, see e.g. [MR1876411 (2002m:60117)]. On the other hand, to our knowledge the only available results dealing with global regularity are [MR1351647 (96m:28015)] and [MR1391637 (98d:60120)], which have been the starting point of our investigation. The proofs relies upon Lyapunov functions and Moser's iteration techniques

    Parabolic equations in L1L^1 with general boundary conditions via duality methods

    No full text
    Given an open domain (possibly unbounded) Omega aS,R (n) , we prove that uniformly elliptic second order differential operators, under nontangential boundary conditions, generate analytic semigroups in L (1)(Omega). We use a duality method, and, further, give estimates of first order derivatives for the resolvent and the semigroup, through properties of the generator in Sobolev spaces of negative order
