Inégalités de Sobolev et minorations du semi-groupe de la chaleur
We study the infinitesimal generators of evolutions of linear mappings on the space of polynomials, which correspond to a special class of Markov processes with polynomial regressions called quadratic harnesses. We relate the infinitesimal generator to the unique solution of a certain commutation equation, and we use the commutation equation to find an explicit formula for the infinitesimal generator of free quadratic harnesses.
We establish an inversion formula of Post-Widder type for -multiplied vector-valued Laplace transforms (α > 0). This result implies an inversion theorem for resolvents of generators of α-times integrated families (semigroups and cosine functions) which, in particular, provides a unified proof of previously known inversion formulae for α-times integrated semigroups.
We introduce and study a notion of Orlicz hypercontractive semigroups. We analyze their relations with general F-Sobolev inequalities, thus extending Gross hypercontractivity theory. We provide criteria for these Sobolev type inequalities and for related properties. In particular, we implement in the context of probability measures the ideas of Maz'ja's capacity theory, and present equivalent forms relating the capacity of sets to their measure. Orlicz hypercontractivity efficiently describes the...
