Resolvent estimates for elliptic quadratic differential operators (Q371159)

The aim of the paper under review is to examine the behavior of the norm of the resolvent of a given nonselfadjoint operator. Let \(q: \mathbb{R}^n_x \times \mathbb{R}^n_\xi \to \mathbb{C}\), \((x,\xi) \mapsto q(x,\xi)\), be a complex-valued quadratic form which is elliptic on \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) in the sense that \(q(X) = 0, X \in \mathbb{R}^{2n}\), if and only if \( X = 0 \). Associated to the quadratic form \(q\) is the semiclassical Weyl quantization \(q^w(x,hD_x)\), \(0 < h \leq 1,\) as a closed densely defined operator on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^{2n})\) equipped with the domain \( \{ u \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^{2n}): q^w(x,hD_x)u \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^{2n}) \} \). The main results are sharp upper bounds for \[ \|(q^w(x,hD_x)-z)^{-1}\|_{\mathfrak{L}(L^2(\mathbb{R}^n),L^2(\mathbb{R}^{2n}))}. \] The proof is based on a well-known reduction of the problem to the setting of a quadratic differential operator acting in a space of holomorphic functions.
