Note on the Kato property of sectorial forms

Publication date 5 September 2023

Abstract: We characterise the Kato property of a sectorial form

m a t h f r a k a

, defined on a Hilbert space

V

, with respect to a larger Hilbert space

H

in terms of two bounded, selfadjoint operators

T

and

Q

determined by the imaginary part of

m a t h f r a k a

and the embedding of

V

into

H

, respectively. As a consequence, we show that if a bounded selfadjoint operator

T

on a Hilbert space

V

is in the Schatten class

S_{p} (V)

(

p g e q 1

), then the associated form

m a t h f r a k a_{T} (c d o t, c d o t) := l a n g l e (I + i T) c d o t, c d o t a n g l e_{V}

has the Kato property with respect to every Hilbert space

H

into which

V

is densely and continuously embedded. This result is in a sense sharp. Another result says that if

T

and

Q

commute then the form

m a t h f r a k a

with respect to

H

possesses the Kato property.
