Complex powers of degenerate differential operators connected with the Klein-Gordon-Fock operator (Q1037084): Difference between revisions

Let \(\square = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_1^2}- \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_2^2}-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_n^2}\), \((x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n\), and \(\lambda>0\). The authors study fractional powers \(D_\lambda^\frac{\alpha}{2}\) (with complex \(\alpha\)) of the Klein-Gordon-Fock operator \[ D_\lambda=m^2I-\square -i\lambda \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_1^2}, \] perturbed by the term \(-i\lambda \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_1^2}\). The fractional powers are defined via Fourier transforms on functions in the corresponding Lizorkin-type test function space, which is invariant with respect to such fractional powers and dense in \(L^p\)-spaces, \(1<p<\infty\). The powers with \(\Re\alpha<0\) are realized as potential type operators; their boundedness from \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\) to \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)+L^s(\mathbb{R}^n)\) is proved under some restrictions on \(p\) and \(s\). The convergence of these potentials to the corresponding Klein-Gordon-Fock potential operators as \(\lambda\to 0\) is shown. Powers with \(\Re\alpha>0\) are constructed as limits of some convolution operators; their domain in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)\) treated as the range of the corresponding potential operator is characterized in terms of the convergence of those convolution operators.
