Vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Stein Theory for Semigroups II

Abstract

Abstract Inspired by a recent work of Hytönen and Naor, we solve a problem left open in our previous work joint with Martínez and Torrea on the vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory for symmetric diffusion semigroups. We prove a similar result in the discrete case, namely, for any $T$ which is the square of a symmetric diffusion Markovian operator on a measure space $(\Omega , \mu )$. Moreover, we show that $T\otimes{ \textrm{Id}}_X$ extends to an analytic contraction on $L_p(\Omega ; X)$ for any $1<p<\infty $ and any uniformly convex Banach space $X$.
