Feller semigroups, Lp -sub-Markovian semigroups, and applications to pseudo-differential operators with negative definite symbols

Abstract

The question of extending L-p-sub-Markovian semigroups to the spaces L-q, q > P, and the interpolation of LP-sub-Markovian semigroups with Feller semigroups is investigated. The structure of generators of L-p-sub-Markovian semigroups is studied. Subordination in the sense of Bochner is used to discuss the construction of refinements of L-p-sub-Markovian semigroups. The role played by some function spaces which are domains of definition for L-p-generators is pointed out. The problem of regularising powers of generators as well as some perturbation results are discussed.
