Contraction semigroup on Hilbert space
I'd like to know whether a certain unbounded operator on a Hilbert space is the generator of a strongly continuous contraction semigroup.
(Such operators are known as maximally dissipative operators.)

Strongly continuous semigroups that cannot be contractions
Let $X$ be a Banach space, and $(P_t)_{t \ge 0}$ a strongly continuous semigroup of bounded operators on $X$. Using the uniform boundedness principle, it's simple to prove that there are constants $M,...

Is every $C_0$ semigroup on a Hilbert space automatically a $C_0$ group on a larger space?
Let $\{T(t),t\ge 0\}$ be a $C_0$ semigroup on a Hilbert space $X$, does that exist a larger Hilbert space $Y$ such that $X\subset Y$, and $T(t)$ extend to a $C_0$ group $T'(t)$ (so $t<0$ make ...

A strange convergence for a semigroup of operators
I am reading B. Simon's "Kato's inequality and the comparison of semigroups", and I am having troubles understanding a part of the proof of Theorem 1 therein, that goes as follows:
Let $A,B$ ...

Commutator of self-adjoint operators and $C^1$-type formula
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a (complex) Hilbert space.
Let $H$ be a self-adjoint operator on $\mathcal{H}$ with dense domain $\mathcal{D}(H) \subset \mathcal{H}$, generating the unitary one-parameter ...

The derivative of a $C_0$-semigroup with respect to a perturbation parameter
Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, and $A : H \to H$ be the (semi-bounded) generator of the $1$-parameter $C_0$-semigroup $[0, \infty) \ni t \mapsto \mathrm e ^{-t A}$. Let $B : H \to H$ be a bounded ...
