Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 871, 75 p. (2007).
A good idea of the book is given by the author’s abstract and by the titles of chapters and sections which are reproduced below.
Author’s abstract: This memoir focuses on $$L^p$$ estimates for objects associated to elliptic operators in divergence form: its semigroup, the gradient of the semigroup, functional calculus, square functions and Riesz transforms. We introduce four critical numbers associated to the semigroup and its gradient that completely rule the ranges of exponents for the $$L^p$$ estimates. It appears that the case $$p< 2$$ already treated earlier is radically different from the case $$p> 2$$ which is new. We thus recover in a unified and coherent way many $$L^p$$ estimates and give further applications. The key tools from harmonic analysis are two criteria for $$L^p$$ boundedness, one for $$p< 2$$ and the other for $$p> 2$$ but in ranges different from the usual intervals $$(1, 2)$$ and $$(2,\infty)$$.
