Abstract

We prove the Kato conjecture for elliptic operators, L=((A+D) )L=-\nabla\cdot\left((\mathbf A+\mathbf D)\nabla\ \right), with A\mathbf A a complex measurable bounded coercive matrix and D\mathbf D a measurable real-valued skew-symmetric matrix in Rn\mathbb{R}^n with entries in BMO(Rn)BMO(\mathbb{R}^n);\, i.e., the domain of L\sqrt{L}\, is the Sobolev space H˙1(Rn)\dot H^1(\mathbb{R}^n) in any dimension, with the estimate Lf2f2\|\sqrt{L}\, f\|_2\lesssim \| \nabla f\|_2.
