Isometric dilations and 𝐻^{∞} calculus for bounded analytic semigroups and Ritt operators

2017

We show that any bounded analytic semigroup on L p L^p (with 1 > p > ∞ 1>p>\infty ) whose negative generator admits a bounded H ∞ ( Σ θ ) H^{\infty }(\Sigma _\theta ) functional calculus for some θ ∈ ( 0 , π 2 ) \theta \in (0,\frac {\pi }{2}) can be dilated into a bounded analytic semigroup ( R t ) t ⩾ 0 (R_t)_{t\geqslant 0} on a bigger L p L^p -space in such a way that R t R_t is a positive contraction for any t ⩾ 0 t\geqslant 0 . We also establish a discrete analogue for Ritt operators and consider the case when L p L^p -spaces are replaced by more general Banach spaces. In connection with these functional calculus issues, we study isometric dilations of bounded continuous rep…
