Questa è una rassegna di alcuni risultati recenti sui moltiplicatori spettrali dell'operatore di Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, un laplaciano naturale sullo spazio euclideo munito della misura gaussiana. I risultati sono inquadrati nell'ambito della teoria generale dei moltiplicatori spettrali per laplaciani generalizzati.

We obtain a sufficient condition on a B(H)-valued function φ for the operator $⨍\mapsto {\Gamma }_{\phi }{⨍}^{\text{'}}\left(S\right)$ to be completely bounded on $H^{\infty }B\left(H\right)$; the Foiaş-Williams-Peller operator | St Γφ | Rφ = | | | 0 S | is then similar to a contraction. We show that if ⨍ : D → B(H) is a bounded analytic function for which $(1-r)\left|\right|{⨍}^{\text{'}}\left(r{e}^{i\theta }\right){\left|\right|}_{B\left(H\right)}^{2}rdrd\theta$ and $(1-r)\left|\right|⨍"\left(r{e}^{i\theta }\right){\left|\right|}_{B\left(H\right)}rdrd\theta$ are Carleson measures, then ⨍ multiplies ${\left(H^1{c}^1\right)}^{\text{'}}$ to itself. Such ⨍ form an algebra A, and when φ’∈ BMO(B(H)), the map $⨍\mapsto {\Gamma }_{\phi }{⨍}^{\text{'}}\left(S\right)$ is bounded $A\to B(H^2\left(H\right),L^2\left(H\right)\ominus H^2\left(H\right))$. Thus we construct a functional calculus for operators of Foiaş-Williams-Peller type.

Multivariate spectral multipliers for systems of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators are studied. We prove that $L^p$-uniform, 1 < p < ∞, spectral multipliers extend to holomorphic functions in some subset of a polysector, depending on p. We also characterize L¹-uniform spectral multipliers and prove a Marcinkiewicz-type multiplier theorem. In the appendix we obtain analogous results for systems of Laguerre operators.
