\(H_\infty \)-calculus for elliptic operators with non-smooth coefficients (Q1386240)

The authors consider general systems of elliptic operators on \(R^n\) and on compact manifolds. They prove under minimal regularity assumptions on the coefficients that there exists a bounded holomorphic functional calculus in \(L_p\) spaces which was introduced by \textit{A. McIntosh} [Operator theory and partial differential equations, Proc. Cent. Math. Anal. Aust. Natl. Univ. 14, 210-231 (1986; Zbl 0634.47016)]. This represents an important extension of the recent results obtained by \textit{J. Pruess} and \textit{H. Sohr} [Hiroshima Math. J. 23, No. 1, 161-192 (1993; Zbl 0790.35023)] and by \textit{H. Amann, M. Hieber} and \textit{G. Simonett} [Differ. Integral Equ. 7, No. 3-4, 613-653 (1994; Zbl 0799.35060)]. The proofs are based on the use of results and techniques from harmonic analysis.
