Let $\left( W,σ\right) $ be a symplectic vector space and let $% T:W\rightarrow W$ be a linear map that satisfies a certain condition of non-degeneracy. We define the Schur multiplier $ω_{σ,T}$ on $W$. To this multiplier we associate a $ω_{σ,T}$-representation and and we build the $T$-Weyl calculus, $\mathrm{Op}_{σ,T}$, whose properties are are systematically studied further.
We propose a framework for bilinear multiplier operators defined via the (bivariate) spectral theorem. Under this framework we prove Coifman-Meyer type multiplier theorems and fractional Leibniz rules. Our theory applies to bilinear multipliers associated with the discrete Laplacian on $\mathbb{Z}^d,$ general bi-radial bilinear Dunkl multipliers, and to bilinear multipliers associated with the Jacobi expansions.
In this paper we prove weighted norm inequalities for Weyl multipliers satisfying Mauceri's condition. As applications of this we obtain some estimates for $L^p$ multipliers on the Heisenberg group and also show in the context of a theorem of Weis on operator valued Fourier multipliers that the R-boundedness of the derivative of the multiplier is not necessary for the boundedness of the multiplier transform.
Inspired by the work of A. Bonami and S. Poornima that a non-constant function which is homogeneous of degree $0$ cannot be a Fourier multiplier on homogeneous Sobolev spaces, we establish analogous results for Fourier multipliers on the Heisenberg group $ \mathbb{H}^n $ and Weyl multipliers on $ \mathbb{C}^n $ acting on Sobolev Spaces.
This paper generalizes the classical Sz.-Nagy--Foias $H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$ functional calculus for Hilbert space contractions. In particular, we replace the single contraction $T$ with a tuple $T=(T_1, \dots, T_d)$ of commuting bounded operators on a Hilbert space and replace $H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$ with a large class of multiplier algebras of Hilbert function spaces on the unit ball in $\mathbb C^d$.
We prove that the existence of a Mihlin-Hörmander functional calculus for an operator $L$ implies the boundedness on $L^p$ of both the maximal operators and the continuous square functions build on spectral multipliers of $L.$ The considered multiplier functions are finitely smooth and satisfy an integral condition at infinity. In particular multipliers of compact support are admitted.
We find some explicit bounds on the ${\mathcal L}(L^2)$-norm of pseudo-differential operators with symbols defined by a metric on the phase space. In particular, we prove that this norm depends only on the "structure constants" of the metric and a fixed semi-norm of the symbol. Analogous statements are made for the Fefferman-Phong inequality.
We construct a Weyl pseudodifferential calculus tailored to studying boundedness of operators on weighted $L^p$ spaces over $\mathbb{R}^d$ with weights of the form $\exp(-ϕ(x))$, for $ϕ$ a $C^2$ function, a setting in which the operator associated to the weighted Dirichlet form typically has only holomorphic functional calculus. A symbol class giving rise to bounded operators on $L^p$ is determined, and its properties analysed. This theory is used to calculate an upper bounded on the $H^\infty$ angle of relevant operators, and deduces known optimal results in some cases. Finally, the symbol cl…
The theory of one-sided $M$-ideals and multipliers of operator spaces is simultaneously a generalization of classical $M$-ideals, ideals in operator algebras, and aspects of the theory of Hilbert $C^*$-modules and their maps. Here we give a systematic exposition of this theory; a reference tool for `noncommutative functional analysts' who may encounter a one-sided $M$-ideal or multiplier in their work.
For an operator generating a group on $L^p$ spaces transference results give bounds on the Phillips functional calculus also known as spectral multiplier estimates. In this paper we consider specific group generators which are abstraction of first order differential operators and prove similar spectral multiplier estimates assuming only that the group is bounded on $L^2$ rather than $L^p$. We also prove an R-bounded Hörmander calculus result by assuming an abstract Sobolev embedding property and show that the square of a perturbed Hodge-Dirac operator has such calculus.
The paper reviews properties of the Weyl functional calculus for several operators and its relation to the generalised numerical range of $n$ hermitian matrices. The support and singular support of the Weyl functional calculus for $n$ hermitian matrices are determined by Kippenhahn varieties in algebraic geometry.
We obtain a general Marcinkiewicz-type multiplier theorem for mixed systems of strongly commuting operators $L=(L_1,...,L_d);$ where some of the operators in $L$ have only a holomorphic functional calculus, while others have additionally a Marcinkiewicz-type functional calculus. Moreover, we prove that specific Laplace transform type multipliers of the pair $(\mathcal{L},A)$ are of certain weak type $(1,1).$ Here $\mathcal{L}$ is the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator while $A$ is a non-negative operator having Gaussian bounds for its heat kernel. Our results include the Riesz transforms $A(\mathcal{…
We outline an abstract approach to the pseudo-differential Weyl calculus for operators in function spaces in infinitely many variables. Our earlier approach to the Weyl calculus for Lie group representations is extended to the case of representations associated with infinite-dimensional coadjoint orbits. We illustrate the approach by the case of infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups. The classical Weyl-Hörmander calculus is recovered for the Schrödinger representations of the finite-dimensional Heisenberg groups.
We develop our earlier approach to the Weyl calculus for representations of infinite-dimensional Lie groups by establishing continuity properties of the Moyal product for symbols belonging to various modulation spaces. For instance, we prove that the modulation space of symbols $M^{\infty,1}$ is an associative Banach algebra and the corrresponding operators are bounded. We then apply the abstract results to two classes of representations, namely the unitary irreducible representations of nilpotent Lie groups, and the natural representations of the semidirect product groups that govern the magn…
We prove spectral multiplier theorems for Hörmander classes $\mathcal{H}^α\_p$ for 0-sectorial operators A on Banach spaces assuming a bounded $H^\infty(Σ\_σ)$ calculus for some $σ\in (0,π)$ and norm and certain R-bounds on one of the following families of operators: the semigroup $e^{--zA}$ on $\mathbb{C}\_+$, the wave operators $e^{isA}$ for $s \in \mathbb{R}$, the resolvent $(λ-- A)^{-1}$ on $\mathbb{C} \backslash \mathbb{R}$, the imaginary powers $A^{it}$ for $t \in \mathbb{R}$ or the Bochner-Riesz means $(1-A/u)^α\_+$ for $u > 0.$ In contrast to the existing literature we neither assume t…
We discuss an extension of Toeplitz quantization based on polyanalytic functions. We derive isomorphism theorem for polyanalytic Toeplitz operators between weighted Sobolev-Fock spaces of polyanalytic functions, which are images of modulation spaces under polyanalytic Bargmann transforms. This generalizes well-known results from the analytic setting. Finally, we derive an asymptotic symbol calculus and present an asymptotic expansion of complex Weyl operators in terms of polyanalytic Toeplitz operators.
In the presence of a variable magnetic field, the Weyl pseudodifferential calculus must be modified. The usual modification, based on ``the minimal coupling principle'' at the level of the classical symbols, does not lead to gauge invariant formulae if the magnetic field is not constant. We present a gauge covariant quantization, relying on the magnetic canonical commutation relations. The underlying symbolic calculus is a deformation, defined in terms of the magnetic flux through triangles, of the classical Moyal product.
In this work we investigate semigroups of operators acting on noncommutative $L^p$-spaces. We introduce noncommutative square functions and their connection to sectoriality, variants of Rademacher sectoriality, and $H^\infty$ functional calculus. We discuss several examples of noncommutative diffusion semigroups. This includes Schur multipliers, $q$-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups, and the noncommutative Poisson semigroup on free groups.
In this work, we solve the problem explicitly stated at the end of a paper of Junge, Mei and Parcet [JEMS2018, Problem C.5] for a large class of groups including all amenable groups and free groups. More precisely, we prove that the Hodge-Dirac operator of the canonical "hidden" noncommutative geometry associated with a Markov semigroup $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ of Fourier multipliers is bisectorial and admits a bounded $\mathrm{H}^\infty$ functional calculus on a bisector which implies a positive answer to the quoted problem. Our result can be seen as a strengthening of the dimension free estimates …
We produce, on general homogeneous groups, an analogue of the usual Hörmander pseudodifferential calculus on Euclidean space, at least as far as products and adjoints are concerned. In contrast to earlier works, we do not limit ourselves to analogues of classical symbols, nor to the Heisenberg group. The key technique is to understand ``multipliers'' of any given order j, and the operators of convolution with their inverse Fourier transforms, which we here call convolution operators of order j. (Here a ``multiplier'' is an analogue of a Hörmander-type symbol a(x,ξ), which is independent of x.)…
In this paper, we introduce a Weyl functional calculus $a \mapsto a(Q,P)$ for the position and momentum operators $Q$ and $P$ associated with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator $ L = -Δ+ x\cdot \nabla$, and give a simple criterion for restricted $L^p$-$L^q$ boundedness of operators in this functional calculus. The analysis of this non-commutative functional calculus is simpler than the analysis of the functional calculus of $L$. It allows us to recover, unify, and extend, old and new results concerning the boundedness of $\exp(-zL)$ as an operator from $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d,γ_α)$ to $L^q(\mathbb{R}^d…
We aim at constructing an analog of the Weyl calculus in an infinite dimensional setting, in which the usual configuration and phase spaces are ultimately replaced by infinite dimensional measure spaces, the so-called abstract Wiener spaces. The Hilbert space on which the operators act can be seen as a Fock space or, equivalently, as a space of square integrable functions on the configuration space. The construction is not straightforward and needs to split the configuration space into two factors, of which the first one is finite dimensional. Then one defines, for a convenient symbol $F$, a h…
Classical pseudo-differential calculus on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ can be viewed as a (non-commutative) functional calculus for the standard position and momentum operators $(Q_{1}, \dots , Q_{d})$ and $(P_{1}, \dots , P_{d})$. We generalise this calculus to the setting of two $d$-tuples of operators $A=(A_{1}, \dots , A_{d})$ and $B=(B_{1}, \dots , B_{d})$ acting on a Banach space $X$ such that $iA_{1}, \dots , iA_{d}$ and $iB_{1}, \dots , iB_{d}$ generate bounded $C_0$-groups satisfying the Weyl canonical commutation relations $e^{isA_j}e^{itA_k} = e^{itA_k}e^{isA_j}$, $e^{isB_j}e^{itB_k} = e^{itB_k…
In this paper, recent abstract multiplier theorems for $0$-sectorial and $0$-strip type operators by Kriegler and Weis (2018) are refined and generalized to arbitrary sectorial and strip-type operators. To this end, holomorphic Hörmander-type functions on sectors and strips are introduced with a scale of smoothness being finer than the classical polynomial one. Moreover, we establish alternative descriptions of these spaces involving Schwartz and "holomorphic Schwartz" functions. Finally, the abstract results are combined with a recent result by Carbonaro and Dragičević (2017) to obtain an imp…
This article develops optimality conditions for a large class of non-smooth variational models. The main results are based on standard tools of functional analysis and calculus of variations. Firstly we address a model with equality constraints and, in a second step, a more general model with equality and inequality constraints, always in a general Banach space context. We highlight the results in general are well known, however, some novelties are introduced related to the proof procedures, which are in general softer than those concerning the present literature.
Let $L$ be the homogeneous sublaplacian on the 6-dimensional free 2-step nilpotent group $N_{3,2}$ on 3 generators. We prove a theorem of Mihlin-Hörmander type for the functional calculus of $L$, where the order of differentiability $s > 6/2$ is required on the multiplier.
Let $A$ be a $0$-sectorial operator with a bounded $H^\infty(Σ\_σ)$-calculus for some $σ\in (0,π),$ e.g. a Laplace type operator on $L^p(Ω),\: 1 < p < \infty,$ where $Ω$ is a manifold or a graph. We show that $A$ has a H{ö}rmander functional calculus if and only if certain operator families derived from the resolvent $(λ- A)^{-1},$ the semigroup $e^{-zA},$ the wave operators $e^{itA}$ or the imaginary powers $A^{it}$ of $A$ are $R$-bounded in an $L^2$-averaged sense. If $X$ is an $L^p(Ω)$ space with $1 \leq p < \infty,$ $R$-boundedness reduces to well-known estimates of square sums.
We investigate Hörmander spectral multiplier theorems as they hold on $X = L^p(Ω),\: 1 < p < \infty,$ for many self-adjoint elliptic differential operators $A$ including the standard Laplacian on $\R^d.$ A strengthened matricial extension is considered, which coincides with a completely bounded map between operator spaces in the case that $X$ is a Hilbert space. We show that the validity of the matricial Hörmander theorem can be characterized in terms of square function estimates for imaginary powers $A^{it}$, for resolvents $R(λ,A),$ and for the analytic semigroup $\exp(-zA).$ We deduce Hörma…
We develop an abstract framework for the investigation of quantization and dequantization procedures based on orthogonality relations that do not necessarily involve group representations. To illustrate the usefulness of our abstract method we show that it behaves well with respect to the infinite tensor products. This construction subsumes examples coming from the study of magnetic Weyl calculus, the magnetic pseudo-differential Weyl calculus, the metaplectic representation on locally compact abelian groups, irreducible representations associated with finite-dimensional coadjoint orbits of so…
Let $A$ be a generator of an analytic semigroup having a H{ö}rmander functional calculus on $X = L^p(Ω,Y)$, where $Y$ is a UMD lattice. Using methods from Banach space geometry in connection with functional calculus, we show that for H{ö}rmander spectral multipliers decaying sufficiently fast at $\infty$, there holds a maximal estimate $\| \sup_{t \geq 0} |m(tA)f|\, \|_{L^p(Ω,Y)} \lesssim \|f\|_{L^p(Ω,Y)}$. We also show square function estimates $\left\| \left( \sum_k \sup _{t \geq 0} |m_k(tA)f_k|^2 \right)^{\frac12} \right\|_{L^p(Ω,Y)} \lesssim \left\| \left( \sum _k |f_k|^2 \right)^{\frac12}…
The usual Weyl calculus is intimately associated with the choice of the standard symplectic structure on $\mathbb{R}^{n}\oplus\mathbb{R}^{n}$. In this paper we will show that the replacement of this structure by an arbitrary symplectic structure leads to a pseudo-differential calculus of operators acting on functions or distributions defined, not on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ but rather on $\mathbb{R}^{n}\oplus\mathbb{R}^{n}$. These operators are intertwined with the standard Weyl pseudo-differential operators using an infinite family of partial isometries of $L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\longrightarrow L^{2}(…
We consider nuclear function spaces on which the Weyl-Heisenberg group acts continuously and study the basic properties of the twisted convolution product of the functions with the dual space elements. The final theorem characterizes the corresponding algebra of convolution multipliers and shows that it contains all sufficiently rapidly decreasing functionals in the dual space. Consequently, we obtain a general description of the Moyal multiplier algebra of the Fourier-transformed space. The results extend the Weyl symbol calculus beyond the traditional framework of tempered distributions.
Let $G$ be a unimodular type I second countable locally compact group and $\hat G$ its unitary dual. We introduce and study a global pseudo-differential calculus for operator-valued symbols defined on $G\times\hat G$, and its relations to suitably defined Wigner transforms and Weyl systems. We also unveil its connections with crossed products $C^*$-algebras associated to certain $C^*$-dynamical systems, and apply it to the spectral analysis of covariant families of operators. Applications are given to nilpotent Lie groups, in which case we relate quantizations with operator-valued and scalar-v…
The aim of the article is to show a H{ö}rmander spectral multiplier theorem for an operator $A$ whose kernel of the semigroup $\exp(-zA)$ satisfies certain Poisson estimates for complex times $z.$ Here $\exp(-zA)$ acts on $L^p(Ω),\,1 < p < \infty,$ where $Ω$ is a space of homogeneous type with the additional condition that the measure of annuli is controlled. In most of the known H{ö}rmander type theorems in the literature, Gaussian bounds and self-adjointness for the semigroup are needed, whereas here the new feature is that the assumptions are the to some extend weaker Poisson bounds, and $\…
