Log-Sobolev inequalities and hypercontractivity for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck evolution operators in infinite dimensions (2309.07319v5)

Abstract: In an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space $X$, we study the realizations of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck evolution operators $\pst$ in the spaces $L^p(X,\g_t)$, ${\g_t}_{t\in\R}$ being the unique evolution system of measures for $\pst$ in $\R$. We prove hyperconctractivity results, relying on suitable Log-Sobolev estimates. Among the examples we consider the transition evolution operator of a non autonomous stochastic parabolic PDE.
