Strongly elliptic operators and exponentiation of operator Lie algebras

Abstract

An intriguing feature which is often present in theorems regardingthe exponentiation of Lie algebras of unbounded linear operators onBanach spaces is the assumption of hypotheses on the Laplacianoperator associated with a basis of the operator Lie algebra.The main objective of this work is to show that one can substitutethe Laplacian by an arbitrary operator in the enveloping algebra andstill obtain exponentiation, as long as its closure generates astrongly continuous one-parameter semigroup satisfying certain normestimates, which are typical in the theory of strongly ellipticoperators.
