We define a scale of Hardy spaces H p F IO (R n ), p ∈ [1, ∞], that are invariant under suitable Fourier integral operators of order zero. This builds on work by Smith for p = 1 [34]. We also introduce a notion of off-singularity decay for kernels on the cosphere bundle of R n , and we combine this with wave packet transforms and tent spaces over the cosphere bundle to develop a full Hardy space theory for oscillatory integral operators. In the process we extend the known results about L p -boundedness of Fourier integral operators, from local boundedness to global boundedness for a larger class of symbols.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

We investigate rates of decay for C0-semigroups on Hilbert spaces under assumptions on the resolvent growth of the semigroup generator. Our main results show that one obtains the best possible estimate on the rate of decay, that is to say an upper bound which is also known to be a lower bound, under a comparatively mild assumption on the growth behaviour. This extends several statements obtained by Batty, Chill and Tomilov (J. Eur. Math. Soc., vol. 18(4), pp. 2016). In fact, for a large class of semigroups our condition is not only sufficient but also necessary for this optimal estimate to hold. Even without this assumption we obtain a new quantified asymptotic result which in many cases of interest gives a sharper estimate for the rate of decay than was previously available, and for semigroups of normal operators we are able to describe the asymptotic behaviour exactly. We illustrate the strength of our theoretical results by using them to obtain sharp estimates on the rate of energy decay for a wave equation subject to viscoelastic damping at the boundary.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 47D06, 34D05, 34G10 (35B40, 35L05, 26A12).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
