Functional calculus and dilation for \(C_{0}\)-groups of polynomial growth (Q444675)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space and \(U(t)=e^{itB}\) be a \(C_0\)-group on \(X\). The author investigates strongly continuous groups satisfying \[ \|U(t)\|\leq C(1+|t|)^\alpha,\;\;t\in\mathbb{R}, \] for some \(C,\alpha\geq 0\). It is shown that the above condition holds if and only if the generator \(B\) has a \(E_\infty^\alpha\) functional calculus under some minimal hypotheses,which exclude simple counterexamples. A third equivalent condition is that \(U(t)\) admits a dilation to a shift group on some space of functions \(\mathbb{R}\rightarrow X\). In the case \(U(t)=A^{it}\) with some sectorial operator \(A\), this calculus is used to show optimal bounds for fractions of the semigroup generated by \(A\), resolvent functions and variants of it. Finally, the \(E_\infty^\alpha\) calculus is compared with Besov functional calculi as considered by \textit{M. Cowling} et al. [J. Aust. Math. Soc., Ser. A 60, No. 1, 51--89 (1996; Zbl 0853.47010)] and the author [Spectral multipliers, R-bounded homomorphism, and analytic diffusion semigroups. Ph.\,D.\ thesis].
