Riesz transform, function spaces and their applications on infinite dimensional compact groups

Alexander Bendikov, Li Chen, Laurent Saloff-Coste

Abstract

On a compact connected group $G$, consider the infinitesimal generator $-L$ of a central symmetric Gaussian convolution semigroup $(μ_t)_{t>0}$. We establish several regularity results of the solution to the Poisson equation $LU=F$, both in strong and weak senses. To this end, we introduce two classes of Lipschitz spaces for $1\le p\le \infty$: $Λ_θ^p$, defined via the associated Markov semigroup, and $\mathrm L_θ^p$, defined via the intrinsic distance. In the strong sense, we prove a priori Sobolev regularity and Lipschitz regularity in the class of $Λ_θ^p$ space. In the distributional sense, we further show local regularity in the class of $\mathrm L_θ^{\infty}$ space. These results require some strong assumptions on $-L$. Our main techniques build on the differentiability of the associated semigroup, explicit dimension-free $L^p$ ($1<p<\infty$) boundedness of first and second order Riesz transforms, and a comparison between the two Lipschitz norms.

Abstract

On a compact connected group , consider the infinitesimal generator of a central symmetric Gaussian convolution semigroup . We establish several regularity results of the solution to the Poisson equation , both in strong and weak senses. To this end, we introduce two classes of Lipschitz spaces for : , defined via the associated Markov semigroup, and , defined via the intrinsic distance. In the strong sense, we prove a priori Sobolev regularity and Lipschitz regularity in the class of space. In the distributional sense, we further show local regularity in the class of space. These results require some strong assumptions on . Our main techniques build on the differentiability of the associated semigroup, explicit dimension-free () boundedness of first and second order Riesz transforms, and a comparison between the two Lipschitz norms.

Key Result

Theorem 2.4

Fix a projective basis $(Y_i)_{i\in I}$. Let $L=-\sum_{i,j\in I} a_{i,j} Y_iY_j$ with $A$ symmetric and positive-definite. Then the family $(X_i)_{i\in I}$ given by is a projective basis of $\mathfrak G$ and yields a square field decomposition $-L=\sum_{i\in I}X_i^2$.
