Spectral analysis of abstract parabolic operators in homogeneous function spaces (Q727533)

The paper deals with the spectral properties of the differential operator \[ {\mathcal L}=-d/dt+A:\,D({\mathcal L})\subset {\mathcal F}(\mathbb{R},X)\to {\mathcal F}(\mathbb{R},X), \] where \({\mathcal F}(\mathbb{R},X)\) are homogeneous Banach spaces of functions with values in a complex Banach space \(X\), and the operator \(A:D(A)\subset X\to X\) is the infinitesimal generator of a \(C_0\)-semigroup \(T:\mathbb{R}_+\to B(X)\). By using methods of harmonic analysis and group representation theory, the authors present sufficient conditions for the invertibility of the operator \({\mathcal L}\) in any homogeneous space of functions with absolutely summable spectrum. A generalization of the Gearhart-Prüss theorem for such spaces is also proved, and an application to a special kind of nonlinear differential equations is finally addressed.
