Abstract

Let A=kckllA = - \sum \partial_k \, c_{kl} \, \partial_l be a degenerate sectorial differential operator with complex bounded mesaurable coefficients. Let Ω\mathdsRd\Omega \subset \mathds{R}^d be open and suppose that AA is strongly elliptic on Ω\Omega. Further, let χCb(\mathdsRd)\chi \in C_{\rm b}^\infty(\mathds{R}^d) be such that an ε\varepsilon-neighbourhood of \suppχ\supp \chi is contained in Ω\Omega. Let ν(0,1]\nu \in (0,1] and suppose that the cklΩC0,ν(Ω){c_{kl}}_{|\Omega} \in C^{0,\nu}(\Omega). Then we prove (H\"older) Gaussian kernel bounds for the kernel of the operator uχSt(χu)u \mapsto \chi \, S_t (\chi \, u), where SS is the semigroup generated by A-A. Moreover, if ν=1\nu = 1 and the coefficients are real, then we prove Gaussian bounds for the kernel of the operator uχStuu \mapsto \chi \, S_t u and for the derivatives in the first variable. Finally we show boundedness on Lp(\mathdsRd)L_p(\mathds{R}^d) of various Riesz transforms.
