Boundary values of holomorphic semigroups of unbounded operators and similarity of certain perturbations

Abstract

AbstractWe obtain sufficient conditions for a “holomorphic” semigroup of unbounded operators to possess a boundary group of bounded operators. The theorem is applied to generalize to unbounded operators results of Kantorovitz about the similarity of certain perturbations. Our theory includes a result of Fisher on the Riemann-Liouville semigroup in Lp(0, ∞) 1 < p < ∞. In this particular case we give also an alternative approach, where the boundary group is obtained as the limit of groups in the weak operator topology
