Abstract: We consider divergence form elliptic operators of the form $L=-dvA(x)abla$, defined in $R^{n+1}=(x,t)in{R}^{n}imesR$, $ngeq2$, where the $L^{infty}$ coefficient matrix $A$ is $(n+1)imes(n+1)$, uniformly elliptic, complex and $t$-independent. We show that for such operators, boundedness and invertibility of the corresponding layer potential operators on $L^2(mathbb{R}^n)=L^2(partialmathbb{R}_{+}^{n+1})$, is stable under complex, $L^{infty}$ perturbations of the coefficient matrix. Using a variant of the $Tb$ Theorem, we also prove that the layer potentials are bounded and invertible on $L^2(mathbb{R}^n)$ whenever $A(x)$ is real and symmetric (and thus, by our stability result, also when $A$ is complex, $VertA-A^{0}Ver{t}_{infty}$ is small enough and $A^0$ is real, symmetric, $L^{infty}$ and elliptic). In particular, we establish solvability of the Dirichlet and Neumann (and Regularity) problems, with $L^2$ (resp. $dot{L}_1^2)$ data, for small complex perturbations of a real symmetric matrix. Previously, $L^2$ solvability results for complex (or even real but non-symmetric) coefficients were known to hold only for perturbations of constant matrices (and then only for the Dirichlet problem), or in the special case that the coefficients $A_{j,n+1}=0=A_{n+1,j}$, $1leqjleqn$, which corresponds to the Kato square root problem.
