Abstract

For an open subset Ω\Omega of Rd\mathbb R^d, symmetric with respect to a hyperplane and with positive part Ω+\Omega_+, we consider the Neumann/Dirichlet Laplacians ΔN/D,Ω-\Delta_{N/D,\Omega} and ΔN/D,Ω+-\Delta_{N/D,\Omega_+}. Given a Borel function Φ\Phi on [0,)[0,\infty) we apply the spectral functional calculus and consider the pairs of operators Φ(ΔN,Ω)\Phi(-\Delta_{N,\Omega}) and Φ(ΔN,Ω+)\Phi(-\Delta_{N,\Omega_+}), or Φ(ΔD,Ω)\Phi(-\Delta_{D,\Omega}) and Φ(ΔD,Ω+)\Phi(-\Delta_{D,\Omega_+}). We prove relations between the integral kernels for the operators in these pairs, which in particular cases of Ω+=Rd1×(0,)\Omega_+=\mathbb{R}^{d-1}\times(0,\infty) and Φt(u)=exp(tu)\Phi_{t}(u)=\exp(-tu), u0u \geq 0, t>0t>0, were known as reflection principles for the Neumann/Dirichlet heat kernels. These relations are then generalized to the context of symmetry with respect to a finite number of mutually orthogonal hyperplanes.
