Sharp spectral multipliers for operators satisfying generalized Gaussian estimates (1211.1295v1)

Abstract: Let $L$ be a non-negative self adjoint operator acting on $L^2(X)$ where $X$ is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that $L$ generates a holomorphic semigroup $e^{-tL}$ whose kernels $p_t(x,y)$ satisfy generalized $m$-th order Gaussian estimates. In this article, we study singular and dyadically supported spectral multipliers for abstract self-adjoint operators. We show that in this setting sharp spectral multiplier results follow from Plancherel or Stein-Tomas type estimates. These results are applicable to spectral multipliers for large classes of operators including $m$-th order elliptic differential operators with constant coefficients, biharmonic operators with rough potentials and Laplace type operators acting on fractals.
