Analysis and Geometry of Markov Diffusion Operators

The present volume is an extensive monograph on the analytic and geometric aspects of Markov diffusion operators. It focuses on the geometric curvature properties of the underlying structure in order to study convergence to equilibrium, spectral bounds, functional inequalities such as Poincaré, Sobolev or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, and various bounds on solutions of evolution equations. At the same time, it covers a large class of evolution and partial differential equations. The book is intended to serve as an introduction to the subject and to be accessible for beginning and advanced scientists and non-specialists. Simultaneously, it covers a wide range of results and techniques from the early developments in the mid-eighties to the latest achievements. As such, students and researchers interested in the modern aspects of Markov diffusion operators and semigroups and their connections to analytic functional inequalities, probabilistic convergence to equilibrium and geometric curvature will find it especially useful. Selected chapters can also be used for advanced courses on the topic.
Variational and Diffusion Problems in Random Walk Spaces
This book presents the latest developments in the theory of gradient flows in random walk spaces. A broad framework is established for a wide variety of partial differential equations on nonlocal models and weighted graphs. Within this framework, specific gradient flows that are studied include the heat flow, the total variational flow, and evolution problems of Leray-Lions type with different types of boundary conditions. With many timely applications, this book will serve as an invaluable addition to the literature in this active area of research. Variational and Diffusion Problems in Random Walk Spaces will be of interest to researchers at the interface between analysis, geometry, and probability, as well as to graduate students interested in exploring these areas.
Riesz Transforms, Hodge-Dirac Operators and Functional Calculus for Multipliers
This book on recent research in noncommutative harmonic analysis treats the Lp boundedness of Riesz transforms associated with Markovian semigroups of either Fourier multipliers on non-abelian groups or Schur multipliers. The detailed study of these objects is then continued with a proof of the boundedness of the holomorphic functional calculus for Hodge–Dirac operators, thereby answering a question of Junge, Mei and Parcet, and presenting a new functional analytic approach which makes it possible to further explore the connection with noncommutative geometry. These Lp operations are then shown to yield new examples of quantum compact metric spaces and spectral triples. The theory described in this book has at its foundation one of the great discoveries in analysis of the twentieth century: the continuity of the Hilbert and Riesz transforms on Lp. In the works of Lust-Piquard (1998) and Junge, Mei and Parcet (2018), it became apparent that these Lp operations can be formulated on Lp spaces associated with groups. Continuing these lines of research, the book provides a self-contained introduction to the requisite noncommutative background. Covering an active and exciting topic which has numerous connections with recent developments in noncommutative harmonic analysis, the book will be of interest both to experts in no-commutative Lp spaces and analysts interested in the construction of Riesz transforms and Hodge–Dirac operators.
