On a Question of A. E. Nussbaum on Measurability of Families of Closed Linear Operators in a Hilbert Space

The purpose of this note is to answer a question A. E. Nussbaum formulated in 1964 about the possible equivalence between weak measurability of a family of densely defined, closed operators T(t), t real, in a separable complex Hilbert space H on one hand, and the notion of measurability of the 2 \times 2 operator-valued matrix of projections onto the graph Gamma(T(t)) of T(t) on the other, in the negative. Our results demonstrate an interesting distinction between the direct integral over the family of operators T(t) with respect to Lebesgue measure and the naturally maximally defined operator associated with pointwise application of T(t) in the vector-valued Hilbert space L^2(\mathbb R; dt; H). We also provide explicit criteria for the measurability of the matrix of projections onto the graph Gamma(T(t)) of T(t).

Optimal polynomial decay of functions and operator semigroups

We characterize the polynomial decay of orbits of Hilbert space $C_0$-semigroups in resolvent terms. We also show that results of the same type for general Banach space semigroups and functions obtained recently in the paper by C.J.K.Batty and T.Duyckaerts, Non-uniform stability for bounded semi-groups on Banach spaces (J. Evol. Eq. 2008), are sharp. This settles a conjecture posed in the paper by C.J.K.Batty and T.Duyckaerts.

Fredholm Differential Operators with Unbounded Coefficients

We prove that a first order linear differential operator G with unbounded operator coefficients is Fredholm on spaces of functions on the real line with values in a reflexive Banach space if and only if the corresponding strongly continuous evolution family has exponential dichotomies on both semiaxises and a pair of the ranges of the dichotomy projections is Fredholm, and that the Fredholm index of G is equal to the Fredholm index of the pair. The operator G is the generator of the evolution semigroup associated with the evolution family. In the case when the evolution family is the propagator of a well-posed differential equation u'(t)=A(t)u(t) with, generally, unbounded operators A(t), the operator G is a closure of the operator -d/dt+A(t). Thus, this paper provides a complete infinite dimensional generalization of well-known finite dimensional results by K. Palmer, and by A. Ben-Artzi and I. Gohberg.

Power-bounded operators and related norm estimates

We consider whether L = limsup_{n to infty} n ||T^{n+1}-T^n|| < infty implies that the operator T is power bounded. We show that this is so if L<1/e, but it does not necessarily hold if L=1/e. As part of our methods, we improve a result of Esterle, showing that if sigma(T) = {1} and T != I, then liminf_{n to infty} n ||T^{n+1}-T^n|| >= 1/e. The constant 1/e is sharp. Finally we describe a way to create many generalizations of Esterle's result, and also give many conditions on an operator which imply that its norm is equal to its spectral radius.
