Fractional integration associated to higher order elliptic operators

Let \(L\) be a homogeneous elliptic operator on \(L^2(\mathbb R^n)\) of order \(2m\) in divergence form. By the holomorphic functional calculus theory, \(L\) has a unique fractional power \(L^{-\alpha/2}\) for \(0<\alpha<n/m\), defined by \[ L^{-\alpha/2}(f)(x)=\frac 1{\Gamma(\alpha/2)}\int^\infty_0e^{-tL}(f)(x)\, \frac {dt}{t^{-\alpha/2+1}}. \] Let \(n>2m\), \(p_0=\frac {2n}{n+2m}\), \(p_1=\Big(\frac {n-2m}{2n} +\frac {m\alpha}n\Big)^{-1}\) and \(1/q=1/p-m\alpha/n\). The authors prove that \(L^{-\alpha/2}\) is bounded from \(L^p(\mathbb R^n)\) to \(L^q(\mathbb R^n)\) for \(p_0<p<p_1\), and when \(p=p_0\) and \(q_0=(1/p_0-m\alpha/n)^{-1}\), \(L^{-\alpha/2}\) is of weak-type \((p_0,q_0)\).
