Polar decomposition of semigroups generated by non-selfadjoint quadratic differential operators and regularizing effects
Abstract
We characterize geometrically the regularizing effects of the semigroups generated by accretive non-selfadjoint quadratic differential operators. As a byproduct, we establish the subelliptic estimates enjoyed by these operators, being expected to be optimal. These results prove conjectures by M. Hitrik, K. Pravda-Starov and J. Viola. The proof relies on a new representation of the polar decomposition of these semigroups. In particular, we identify the selfadjoint part as the evolution operator generated by the Weyl quantization of a time-dependent real-valued nonnegative quadratic form for which we prove a sharp anisotropic lower bound.
