Do the domains of the two square roots of a positive (unbounded) operator coincide? [closed]

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $D:\mathrm{Dom}(D) \to H$ a densely defined operator on $H$. We further assume that $D$ is closed and self-adjoint. If we further assume that $D$ is positive, then we ...

Reference request - Fourier multiplier of vector valued function

I would like to understand the concept of multiplier for vector valued functions and find appropriate references for the multiplier theorems out there. For instance say that we would like to express $\...

Showing an operator is (or not) closed on $L^2(\mathbb{R})$

I am linearizing nonlinear waves and get operators of the form below. Everything is considered in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. Consider the operator $L_1=\frac{d}{dx}$. The domain is $H^1(\mathbb{R})$ and it is ...

Diagonalizing selfadjoint operator on core domain

Let $A$ be a densely-defined, positive, self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent on a Hilbert space $H$. Then, $\text{Range}(1+A)=H$ and there is a basis for $H$ consisting of eigenvectors of $1+A$...

Maximal domain of an unbounded linear operator in a weighted Hilbert-space

Let's consider the following (unbounded) linear operator. (So called transport operator in some context.) $$ \mathrm{T}: \mathcal{H} \supset \mathcal{D}(\mathrm{T}) \to \mathcal{H} , f \mapsto \mathrm{...

Pullback via flow as operator group

Let $X$ be a vector field on a manifold $M$ that induces a complete flow $\Theta_t$. Then the operator family $\Theta_t^*$, $$\Theta_t^*u(x) = u(\Theta_t(x))$$ is a strongly continuous semigroup of ...

Spectrum equals eigenvalues for unbounded operator

Let $D$ be an unbounded densely defined operator on a separable Hilbert space $H$. If $D$ is diagonalisable with all eigenvalues having finite multiplicity and growing towards infinity, does it follow ...

Essential self-adjointness of differential operators on compact manifolds

Let $L$ be a linear differential operator (with smooth coefficients) on a compact differentiable manifold $M$ (without boundary). Suppose $M$ is endowed with a smooth volume form (actually, a smooth ...

Operator theory of the Hessian

How can I learn more about the operator theory of the Hessian? The Hessian of a function $u : \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb R$ over a domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ is the matrix of second ...

Laplacian on space of measures

Let $X$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ be the space of regular finite Borel measures with the total variation as norm. The Laplace-Belrami-Operator $\Delta$ on $X$ with ...

Smooth dependence of the spectrum on the operator

I would like to know if there are theorems that state under which circumstances spectra of operator families depend smoothly on the parameter. To clarify, suppose I have a 1-parameter family $T_h$ of ...

Invariant linear manifolds for multiplication by the independent variable in L^2 (R)

In general I am trying to determine when the self-adjoint operator $M$ of multiplication by the independent variable in $L^2 (\mathbb{R})$ has a symmetric restriction to a dense linear manifold (non-...
