A short counterexample to the inverse generator problem on non-Hilbertian reflexive \(L^p\)-spaces (Q267057)

Let \(e^{tA} \) be a strongly continuous \(C_{0} \)-semigroup of Banach space operators. Suppose that its generator \(A\) is one-to-one and has dense range. Its inverse \(A^{-1} \) is also densely defined, closed, and with dense range. It is interesting to know whether \(A^{-1} \) also generates a \(C_{0} \) semigroup. The question is important, because in the case when the semigroup \(e^{tA} \) is analytical and bounded on some sector, the answer is positive, as \(A^{-1} \) is sectorial in the same sector. A counterexample is known for the problem on \(L^{p} \) spaces with \(p>1\), \(p\neq 2\). The author constructs here a different counterexample for the same case. The short proof is based on Fourier analysis. As the author notes, the inverse generator problem remains open for semigroups on Hilbert spaces.
