Finite reflection groups and symmetric extensions of Laplacian

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let WW be a finite reflection group associated with a root system RR in Rd\mathbb R^d. Let C+C_+ denote a positive Weyl chamber. Consider an open subset ΩΩ of Rd\mathbb R^d, symmetric with respect to reflections from WW. Let Ω+=Ω∩C+Ω_+=Ω\cap C_+ be the positive part of ΩΩ. We define a family {−Δη+}\{-Δ_η^+\} of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian −ΔΩ+-Δ_{Ω_+}, labeled by homomorphisms η ⁣:W→{1,−1}η\colon W\to \{1,-1\}. In the construction of these ηη-Laplacians ηη-symmetrization of functions on ΩΩ is involved. The Neumann Laplacian −ΔN,Ω+-Δ_{N,Ω_+} is included and corresponds to η≡1η\equiv1. If H1(Ω)=H01(Ω)H^{1}(Ω)=H^{1}_0(Ω), then the Dirichlet Laplacian −ΔD,Ω+-Δ_{D,Ω_+} is either included and corresponds to η=sgnη={\rm sgn}; otherwise the Dirichlet Laplacian is considered separately. Applying the spectral functional calculus we consider the pairs of operators Ψ(−ΔN,Ω)Ψ(-Δ_{N,Ω}) and Ψ(−Δη+)Ψ(-Δ_η^+), or Ψ(−ΔD,Ω)Ψ(-Δ_{D,Ω}) and Ψ(−ΔD,Ω+)Ψ(-Δ_{D,Ω_+}), where ΨΨ is a Borel function on [0,∞)[0,\infty). We prove relations between the integral kernels for the operators in these pairs, which are given in terms of symmetries governed by WW.
