Abstract

We give a simplified and direct proof of the Kato square root estimate for parabolic operators with elliptic part in divergence form and coefficients possibly depending on space and time in a merely measurable way. The argument relies on the nowadays classical reduction to a quadratic estimate and a Carleson-type inequality. The precise organization of the estimates is different from earlier works. In particular, we succeed in separating space and time variables almost completely despite the non-autonomous character of the operator. Hence, we can allow for degenerate ellipticity dictated by a spatial A2A_2-weight, which has not been treated before in this context.
