Functional calculus of Lie groups and wave propagation.
We study one-dimensional oscillator integrals which arise as Fourier-Stieltjes transforms of smooth, compactly supported measures on smooth curves in Euclidean spaces and determine their decay at infinity, provided the curves satisfy certain geometric conditions.
For some time it has been known that there exist continuous Helson curves in . This result, which is related to Lusin’s rearrangement problem, had been proved first by Kahane in 1968 with the aid of Baire category arguments. Later McGehee and Woodward extended this result, giving a concrete construction of a Helson -manifold in for . We present a construction of a Helson 2-manifold in . With modification, our method should even suffice to prove that there are Helson hypersurfaces in any .
In this survey article, I shall give an overview on some recent developments concerning the -functional calculus for sub-Laplacians on exponential solvable Lie groups. In particular, I shall give an outline on some recent joint work with W. Hebisch and J. Ludwig on sub-Laplacians which are of holomorphic -type, in the sense that every -spectral multiplier for will be holomorphic in some domain.
In [8], we studied the problem of local solvability of complex coefficient second order left-invariant differential operators on the Heisenberg group ℍₙ, whose principal parts are "positive combinations of generalized and degenerate generalized sub-Laplacians", and which are homogeneous under the Heisenberg dilations. In this note, we shall consider the same class of operators, but in the presence of left invariant lower order terms, and shall discuss local solvability for these operators in a complete...
Let L be the distinguished Laplacian on certain semidirect products of ℝ by ℝⁿ which are of ax + b type. We prove pointwise estimates for the convolution kernels of spectrally localized wave operators of the form for arbitrary time t and arbitrary λ > 0, where ψ is a smooth bump function supported in [-2,2] if λ ≤ 1 and in [1,2] if λ ≥ 1. As a corollary, we reprove a basic multiplier estimate of Hebisch and Steger [Math. Z. 245 (2003)] for this particular class of groups, and derive Sobolev...
Let L be a homogeneous sublaplacian on the 6-dimensional free 2-step nilpotent Lie group on three generators. We prove a theorem of Mikhlin-Hörmander type for the functional calculus of L, where the order of differentiability s > 6/2 is required on the multiplier.
Let £ denote the sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group H. We prove that e / (1 - £) extends to a bounded operator on L(H), for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, when α > (d - 1) |1/p - 1/2|.
Let be a right-invariant sub-Laplacian on a connected Lie group and let denote the associated “spherical partial sums,” where is the spectral resolution of We prove that converges a.e. to as under the assumption
