Sums and commutators of generators of noncommuting strongly continuous groups.

From MaRDI portal





Let \(A\) and \(B\) be the generators of two strongly continuous groups of Banach space operators. The commutator \([A,B]\) is introduced as a densely defined operator with domain \(D([A, B]):= D(AB)\cap D(BA)\) and it is assumed that \([A,B]\) either commutes with both groups \(e^{At}\), \(e^{Bs}\) for all \(t, s\in\mathbb{R}\), or \([A,B]\) is a multiple of \(A\). The author proves that under some further natural restrictions, the sum \(A+B\) and the commutator \([A,B]\) are closable and their closures generate strongly continuous groups, which are given by explicit representations. In order to achieve this, the author extends a variant of the classical Campbell-Hausdorff formula (for bounded operators) to the case of unbounded operators.
