The Stokes Operator on Exterior Domains in Homogeneous Weighted Function Spaces:From Weak Theory to ℋ∞-calculus to Fractional Domains
Abstract
We consider the Stokes operator A on smooth exterior domains Ω of ℝn in homogeneous Sobolev spaces Ĥκ,qw(Ω) with radially symmetric Muckenhoupt weights w∈ 𝒜q. A fundamental property is the existence of a bounded ℋ∞-calculus of the Stokes operator on weighted nonhomogeneous and homogeneous Lq Sobolev spaces. This property implies the existence of uniformly bounded purely imaginary powers Ait, t∈ℝ, and the characterization of domains of fractional powers Aθ equipped with nonhomogeneous (| u|Lqw + |Aθu|Lqw) as well as homogeneous norm (|Aθu|Lqw) as complex interpolation spaces. The final aim is the identification with homogeneous spaces 𝒟̂((−Δq,w)θ) = [Lqw,𝒟̂(−Δq,w)]θ intersected by a space of solenoidal vector fields. Moreover, we obtain weighted variational inequalities for weak solutions of the Stokes equations, weighted Lq-Lr decay estimates of the Stokes semigroup and Lp-maximal regularity on Lqσ,w(Ω).

AB - We consider the Stokes operator A on smooth exterior domains Ω of ℝ^n in homogeneous Sobolev spaces Ĥ^κ,q_w(Ω) with radially symmetric Muckenhoupt weights w∈ 𝒜_q. A fundamental property is the existence of a bounded ℋ^∞-calculus of the Stokes operator on weighted nonhomogeneous and homogeneous L^q Sobolev spaces. This property implies the existence of uniformly bounded purely imaginary powers A^it, t∈ℝ, and the characterization of domains of fractional powers A^θ equipped with nonhomogeneous (| u|_L^q_w + |A^θu|_L^q_w) as well as homogeneous norm (|A^θu|_L^q_w) as complex interpolation spaces. The final aim is the identification with homogeneous spaces 𝒟̂((−Δ_q,w)^θ) = [L^q_w,𝒟̂(−Δ_q,w)]_θ intersected by a space of solenoidal vector fields. Moreover, we obtain weighted variational inequalities for weak solutions of the Stokes equations, weighted L^q-L^r decay estimates of the Stokes semigroup and L^p-maximal regularity on L^q_σ,w(Ω).
