Bounded $H^\infty$-calculus for vectorial-valued operators with Gaussian kernel estimates

Abstract

We prove that the vector-valued generator of a bounded holomorphic semigroup represented by a kernel satisfying Gaussian estimates with bounded $H^\infty$-calculus in $L^2(\mathbb R^d;\mathbb C^m)$ admits bounded $H^\infty$-calculus for every $p\in (1,\infty)$. We apply this result to the elliptic operator $-{\rm div}(Q\nabla)+V$, where the potential term V is a matrix-valued function whose entries belong to $L^1_{\rm loc}(\mathbb R^d)$ and, for almost every $x\in \mathbb R^d$, $V(x)$ is a symmetric and nonnegative definite matrix.
