| Popis: | We introduce a condition on accretive matrix functions, called $p$-ellipticity, and discuss its applications to the $L^p$ theory of elliptic PDE with complex coefficients. Our examples are: (i) generalized convexity of power functions (Bellman functions), (ii) dimension-free bilinear embeddings, (iii) $L^p$-contractivity of semigroups and (iv) holomorphic functional calculus. Recent work by Dindo\v{s} and Pipher (arXiv:1612.01568v3) established close ties between $p$-ellipticity and (v) regularity theory of elliptic PDE with complex coefficients. The $p$-ellipticity condition arises from studying uniform positivity of a quadratic form associated with the matrix in question on one hand, and the Hessian of a power function on the other. Our results regarding contractivity extend earlier theorems by Cialdea and Maz'ya. Comment: A major revision with respect to v3. This is the final version of the file. Apart from the sentence added on page 6 right after (1.8), it is identical to the version accepted for publication (in J. Eur. Math. Soc.) |
