Abstract

Let WW be a finite reflection group associated with a root system RR in Rd\mathbb R^d. Let C+C_+ denote a positive Weyl chamber. Consider an open subset Ω\Omega of Rd\mathbb R^d, symmetric with respect to reflections from WW. Let Ω+=ΩC+\Omega_+=\Omega\cap C_+ be the positive part of Ω\Omega. We define a family {Δη+}\{-\Delta_{\eta}^+\} of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian ΔΩ+-\Delta_{\Omega_+}, labeled by homomorphisms η ⁣:W{1,1}\eta\colon W\to \{1,-1\}. In the construction of these η\eta-Laplacians η\eta-symmetrization of functions on Ω\Omega is involved. The Neumann Laplacian ΔN,Ω+-\Delta_{N,\Omega_+} is included and corresponds to η1\eta\equiv1. If H1(Ω)=H01(Ω)H^{1}(\Omega)=H^{1}_0(\Omega), then the Dirichlet Laplacian ΔD,Ω+-\Delta_{D,\Omega_+} is either included and corresponds to η=sgn\eta={\rm sgn}; otherwise the Dirichlet Laplacian is considered separately. Applying the spectral functional calculus we consider the pairs of operators Ψ(ΔN,Ω)\Psi(-\Delta_{N,\Omega}) and Ψ(Δη+)\Psi(-\Delta_{\eta}^+), or Ψ(ΔD,Ω)\Psi(-\Delta_{D,\Omega}) and Ψ(ΔD,Ω+)\Psi(-\Delta_{D,\Omega_+}), where Ψ\Psi is a Borel function on [0,)[0,\infty). We prove relations between the integral kernels for the operators in these pairs, which are given in terms of symmetries governed by WW.
