For $p\in [1,\infty)$, we show that every unital $L^p$-operator algebra contains a unique maximal $C^*$-subalgebra, which is always abelian if $p\neq 2$. Using this, we canonically associate to every unital $L^p$-operator algebra $A$ an…

Suppose that ${\cal L}$ is a divergence form differential operator of the form ${\cal L}f:=(1/2) e^{U}\nabla_x\cdot\big[e^{-U}(I+H)\nabla_x f\big]$, where $U$ is scalar valued, $I$ identity matrix and $H$ an anti-symmetric matrix valued…

We develop classes of one-parameter families (OPF) of operators on $C^\infty_c(\mathbb{C})$ which characterize the behavior of operators associated to the $\bar\partial$-problem in $L^2(\mathbb{C},e^{-2p})$ where $p$ is a subharmonic,…

In this work, we study the Landis conjecture for second-order elliptic equations in the plane. Precisely, assume that $V\ge 0$ is a measurable real-valued function satisfying $\|V\|_{L^\infty({\mathbb R}^2)} \le 1$. Let $u$ be a real…

We prove that operators of the form $A=-a(x)^2\Delta^{2}$, with suitable growth conditions on the coefficient $a(x)$, generate analytic semigroups in $L^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$. In particular, we deduce generation results for the operator $A :=-…

Let $L^{m,p}(\R^n)$ be the Sobolev space of functions with $m^{th}$ derivatives lying in $L^p(\R^n)$. Assume that $n< p < \infty$. For $E \subset \R^n$, let $L^{m,p}(E)$ denote the space of restrictions to $E$ of functions in…

We are concerned with the homogenization of second-order linear elliptic equations with random coefficient fields. For symmetric coefficient fields with only short-range correlations, quantified through a logarithmic Sobolev inequality for…

It is known that an elliptic system $\{P_j(x,D)\}_1^N$ of order $l$ is weakly coercive in $\overset{\circ}{W}\rule{0pt}{2mm}^l_\infty(\mathbb R^n)$, that is, all differential monomials of order $\le l-1$ on $C_0^\infty(\mathbb…

This paper focuses on systems of strongly coupled elliptic operators whose coefficients may be unbounded and are defined on a domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$. It is shown that a quasi-contractive semigroup in $L^p$-spaces can be…
