MARKIN Received 6 November 2003 To my teachers, Drs. Miroslav L. Gorbachuk and Valentina I. Gorbachuk The Carleman classes of a scalar type spectral operator in a reflexive Banach space are characterized in terms of the operator’s resolution of the identity. A theorem of the PaleyWiener type is considered as an application. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47B40, 47B15, 47B25, 30D60. 1. Introduction. As was shown in [8] (see also [9, 10]), under certain conditions, the Carleman classes of vectors of a normal operator in a complex Hilbert space can be characterized in terms of the operator’s spectral measure (the resolution of the identity). The purpose of the present paper is to generalize this characterization to the case of a scalar type spectral operator in a complex reflexive Banach space. 2. Preliminaries 2.1. The Carleman classes of vectors. Let A be a linear operator in a Banach space X with norm · , {mn }∞ n=0 a sequence of positive numbers, and def C ∞ (A) = ∞ D An (2.1) n=0 (D(·) is the domain of an operator). The sets def C{mn } (A) = f ∈ C ∞ (A) | ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : An f ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , def C(mn ) (A) = f ∈ C ∞ (A) | ∀α > 0 ∃c > 0 : An f ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . (2.2) are called the Carleman classes of vectors of the operator A corresponding to the sequence {mn }∞ n=0 of Roumie’s and Beurling’s types, respectively. Obviously, the inclusion C(mn ) (A) ⊆ C{mn } (A) (2.3) holds. For mn := [n!]β (or, due to Stirling’s formula, for mn := nβn ), n = 0, 1, 2, . . . (0 ≤ β < ∞), we obtain the well-known βth-order Gevrey classes of vectors, Ᏹ{β} (A) and Ᏹ(β) (A), 3220 MARAT V. MARKIN respectively. In particular, Ᏹ{1} (A) are the analytic and Ᏹ(1) (A) are the entire vectors of the operator A [7, 17]. The sequence {mn }∞ n=0 will be subject to the following condition. (WGR) For any α > 0, there exist such a C = C(α) > 0 that Cαn ≤ mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . . (2.4) Note that the name WGR originates from the words “weak growth.” Under this condition, the numerical function T (λ) := m0 ∞ λn , mn n=0 0 ≤ λ < ∞, 00 := 1 , (2.5) first introduced by Mandelbrojt [15], is well defined. This function is nonnegative, continuous, and increasing. As established in [8] (see also [9, 10]), for a normal operator A with a spectral measure EA (·) in a complex Hilbert space H with inner product (·, ·) and the sequence {mn }∞ n=0 satisfying the condition (WGR), C{mn } (A) = t>0 C(mn ) (A) = D T (t|A|) , D T (t|A|) , (2.6) t>0 the normal operators T (t|A|) (0 < t < ∞) being defined in the sense of the spectral operational calculus for a normal operator: T (t|λ|) dEA , σ (A) T 2 (t|λ|) dEA (λ)f , f < ∞ , D T (t|A|) := f ∈ H | T (t|A|) := (2.7) σ (A) where the function T (·) can be replaced by any nonnegative, continuous, and increasing function L(·) defined on [0, ∞) such that c1 L γ1 λ ≤ T (λ) ≤ c2 L γ2 λ , λ > R, (2.8) with some positive γ1 , γ2 , c1 , c2 , and a nonnegative R. In particular, T (·) in (2.6) is replaceable by S(λ) := m0 sup n≥0 λn , mn 0 ≤ λ < ∞, (2.9) THE CARLEMAN CLASSES OF A SCALAR OPERATOR 3221 or P (λ) := m0 ∞ λ2n 2 mn n=0 1/2 , 0 ≤ λ < ∞, (2.10) (see [10]). 2.2. Carleman ultradifferentiability. Let I be an interval of the real axis, C∞ (I) the set of all complex-valued functions strongly infinite differentiable on I, and {mn }∞ n=0 a sequence of positive numbers. ∞ f (·) ∈ C (I) | ∀[a, b] ⊆ I, ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : (n) (x) ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , def max a≤x≤b f C{mn } (I) = f (·) ∈ C ∞ (I) | ∀[a, b] ⊆ I, ∀α > 0, ∃c > 0 : maxa≤x≤b f (n) (x) ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . (2.11) are the Carleman classes of ultradifferentiable functions of Roumie’s and Beurling’s types, respectively, [1, 12, 13, 14]. In particular, for mn := [n!]β (or, due to Stirling’s formula, for mn := nβn ), n = 0, 1, 2, . . . (0 ≤ β < ∞), these are the well-known βth-order Gevrey classes, Ᏹ{β} (I) and Ᏹ(β) (I), respectively, [6, 12, 13, 14]. Observe that Ᏹ{1} (I) is the class of the real analytic on I functions and Ᏹ(1) (I) is the class of entire functions, that is, the restrictions to I of analytic and entire functions, correspondingly, [15]. Note that condition (WGR), in particular, implies that limn→∞ mn = ∞. Since, as is easily seen, the Carleman classes of vectors and functions coincide for the sequence ∞ {mn }∞ n=1 and the sequence {dmn }n=1 for any d > 0, without loss of generality, we can regard that inf mn ≥ 1. (2.12) n≥0 2.3. Scalar type spectral operators. Henceforth, unless specified otherwise, A is a scalar type spectral operator in a complex Banach space X with norm · and EA (·) is its spectral measure (the resolution of the identity), the operator’s spectrum σ (A) being the support for the latter [2, 5]. Note that, in a Hilbert space, the scalar type spectral operators are those similar to the normal ones [21]. For such operators, there has been developed an operational calculus for Borel measurable functions on C (on σ (A)) [2, 5], F (·) being such a function; a new scalar type spectral operator F (A) = C F (λ) dEA (λ) = σ (A) F (λ) dEA (λ) (2.13) 3222 MARAT V. MARKIN is defined as follows: F (A)f := lim Fn (A)f , f ∈ D F (A) , n→∞ D F (A) := f ∈ X | lim Fn (A)f exists (2.14) n→∞ (D(·) is the domain of an operator), where Fn (·) := F (·)χ{λ∈σ (A)||F (λ)|≤n} (·), n = 1, 2, . . . , (2.15) (χα (·) is the characteristic function of a set α), and Fn (A) := σ (A) Fn (λ) dEA (λ), n = 1, 2, . . . , (2.16) being the integrals of bounded Borel measurable functions on σ (A), are bounded scalar type spectral operators on X defined in the same manner as for normal operators (see, e.g., [4, 19]). The properties of the spectral measure, EA (·), and the operational calculus underlying the entire subsequent argument are exhaustively delineated in [2, 5]. We just observe here that, due to its strong countable additivity, the spectral measure EA (·) is bounded [3], that is, there is an M > 0 such that, for any Borel set δ, EA (δ) ≤ M. (2.17) Observe that, in (2.17), the notation · was used to designate the norm in the space of bounded linear operators on X. We will adhere to this rather common economy of symbols in what follows adopting the same notation for the norm in the dual space X ∗ as well. Due to (2.17), for any f ∈ X and g ∗ ∈ X ∗ (X ∗ is the dual space), the total variation v(f , g ∗ , ·) of the complex-valued measure EA (·)f , g ∗ (·, · is the pairing between the space X and its dual, X ∗ ) is bounded. Indeed, δ being an arbitrary Borel subset of σ (A), [3], v f , g ∗ , σ (A) ≤ 4 sup EA (δ)f , g ∗ ≤ 4 sup EA (δ)f g ∗ (by (2.17)) δ⊆σ (A) ≤ 4Mf g ∗ . δ⊆σ (A) (2.18) For the reader’s convenience, we reformulate here [16, Proposition 3.1], heavily relied upon in what follows, which allows to characterize the domains of the Borel measurable 3223 THE CARLEMAN CLASSES OF A SCALAR OPERATOR functions of a scalar type spectral operator in terms of positive measures (see [16] for a complete proof). On account of compactness, the terms spectral measure and operational calculus for scalar type spectral operators, frequently referred to, will be abbreviated to s.m. and o.c., respectively. Proposition 2.1. Let A be a scalar type spectral operator in a complex Banach space X and F (·) a complex-valued Borel measurable function on C (on σ (A)). Then f ∈ D(F (A)) if and only if (i) for any g ∗ ∈ X ∗ , σ (A) |F (λ)| dv f , g ∗ , λ < ∞, (2.19) (ii) sup {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} {λ∈σ (A)||F (λ)|>n} |F (λ)| dv f , g ∗ , λ → 0 as n → ∞. (2.20) Observe that, for F (·) being an arbitrary Borel measurable function on C (on σ (A)), for any f ∈ D(F (A)), g ∗ ∈ X ∗ , and arbitrary Borel sets δ ⊆ σ , |F (λ)| dv f , g ∗ , λ (see [3]) σ ∗ ≤ 4 sup F (λ) d EA (λ)f , g δ⊆σ δ ∗ χ (λ)F (λ) d E (λ)f , g = 4 sup δ A σ δ⊆σ χδ (λ)F (λ) dEA (λ)f , g ∗ = 4 sup σ δ⊆σ = 4 sup EA (δ)EA (σ )F (A)f , g ∗ (by the properties of the o.c.) (by the properties of the o.c.) δ⊆σ ≤ 4 sup EA (δ)EA (σ )F (A)f g ∗ δ⊆σ ≤ 4 sup EA (δ) EA (σ )F (A)f g ∗ (by (2.17)) δ⊆σ ≤ 4M EA (σ )F (A)f g ∗ ≤ 4M EA (σ ) F (A)f g ∗ . (2.21) In particular, |F (λ)| dv f , g ∗ , λ (by (2.21)) σ (A) ≤ 4M EA σ (A) F (A)f g ∗ (since EA (σ (A)) = I (I is the identity operator in X)) ∗ ≤ 4M F (A)f g . (2.22) 3224 MARAT V. MARKIN 3. The Carleman classes of a scalar type spectral operator Theorem 3.1. Let A be a scalar type spectral operator in a complex reflexive Banach space X. If a sequence of positive numbers {mn }∞ n=0 satisfies condition (WGR), equalities (2.6) hold, the scalar type spectral operators T (t|A|) (0 < t < ∞) defined in the sense of the operational calculus for a scalar type spectral operator and the function T (·) being replaceable by any nonnegative, continuous, and increasing function L(·) defined on [0, ∞) such that c1 L γ1 λ ≤ T (λ) ≤ c2 L γ2 λ , λ > R, (3.1) with some positive γ1 , γ2 , c1 , c2 , and a nonnegative R. Proof. First, we prove the replaceability of T (·) in (2.6) by a nonnegative, continuous, and increasing function satisfying (3.1) with some positive γ1 , γ2 , c1 , c2 , and a nonnegative R ≥ 0. Let f∈ t>0 T (t|A|) T (t|A|) . (3.2) t>0 Then, for some (any) 0 < t < ∞, f ∈ D(T (t|A|)), which, according to Proposition 2.1, implies, in particular, that, for any g ∗ ∈ X ∗ , T (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ < ∞. (3.3) L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ < ∞. (3.4) σ (A) For any g ∗ ∈ X ∗ , σ (A) Indeed, L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ = L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ + L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|≤R} {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|>R} ≤ L γ1 R v f , g ∗ , σ (A) + L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ (by (2.18)) {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|>R} ≤ L γ1 R 4Mf g ∗ + L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ (by (3.1)) {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|>R} 1 F (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ ≤ L γ1 R 4Mf g ∗ + c1 {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|>R} 1 F (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ (by (3.3)) ≤ L γ1 R 4Mf g ∗ + c1 σ (A) σ (A) < ∞. (3.5) THE CARLEMAN CLASSES OF A SCALAR OPERATOR 3225 Further, sup {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|≤R, L(γ1 t|λ|)>n} L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ = 0 (3.6) for all sufficiently large natural n’s since, when t|λ| ≤ R, L(γ1 t|λ|) ≤ L(γ1 R). On the other hand, {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|>R, L(γ1 t|λ|)>n} L γ1 t|λ| dv f , g ∗ , λ (by (3.1)) 1 T (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ (by (2.21)) c1 {λ∈σ (A)|t|λ|>R, T (t|λ|)>c1 n} 1 EA λ ∈ σ (A) | T (t|λ|) > c1 n T (t|A|)f g ∗ ≤ c1 (by the continuity of the s.m.) ≤ (3.7) → 0 as n → ∞. Therefore, by Proposition 2.1, f ∈ D(L(γ1 t|A|)). Thus, we have proved the inclusions D T (t|A|) ⊆ D L(t|A|) , t>0 D T (t|A|) ⊆ D L(t|A|) . t>0 t>0 (3.8) t>0 Similarly, one can derive from (3.1) the inverse inclusions: D T (t|A|) ⊇ D L(t|A|) , t>0 D T (t|A|) ⊇ D L(t|A|) . t>0 t>0 (3.9) t>0 Thus, D T (t|A|) = D L(t|A|) , t>0 D T (t|A|) = D L(t|A|) . t>0 t>0 t>0 (3.10) 3226 MARAT V.

Since a reflexive Banach space is weakly complete (see, e.g., [3]), we infer that the sequence {T ((1/2α)|A|)EA (∆n )f }∞ n=1 weakly converges in X. This, considering the fact that, by the continuity of the s.m., EA ∆n f → f as n → ∞ (3.16) and the closedness of the operator T ((1/2α)|A|), implies 1 |A| . f ∈D T 2α (3.17) Therefore, f∈ D T (t|A|) t>0 D T (t|A|) , resp. , (3.18) t>0 which proves the inclusions C{mn } (A) ⊆ t>0 C(mn ) (A) ⊆ t>0 Now, we are to prove the inverse inclusions. D T (t|A|) , D T (t|A|) . (3.19) 3228 MARAT V. MARKIN Let f∈ D T (t|A|) t>0 D T (t|A|) . (3.20) t>0 Then, for a certain (any) t > 0, f ∈ D(T (t|A|)). We infer from the latter that f ∈ C ∞ (A). Indeed, for an arbitrary N = 0, 1, 2, . . . and any g ∗ ∈ X ∗ , σ (A) ∞ [t|λ|]k dv f , g ∗ , λ mk σ (A) k=0 T (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ = tN |λ|N dv f , g ∗ , λ ≤ mN (3.21) σ (A) (by Proposition 2.1), < ∞. Further, for any N = 0, 1, 2, . . . , sup {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} {λ∈σ (A)|(t N /mN )|λ|N >n} ≤ sup tN |λ|N dv f , g ∗ , λ mN {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} {λ∈σ (A)|T (t|λ|)>n} → 0 T (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ (by Proposition 2.1), as n → ∞. (3.22) By Proposition 2.1, (3.21) and (3.22) imply that f ∈ C ∞ (A). (3.23) Further, by (2.22), sup {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} σ (A) T (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ (by (2.22)) ≤ 4M T (t|A|)f < ∞. (3.24) By (2.22), 0<c:= sup {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} σ (A) T (t|λ|) dv f , g ∗ , λ + 1 ≤ 4M T (t|A|)f < ∞. (3.25) THE CARLEMAN CLASSES OF A SCALAR OPERATOR 3229 Whence, for any n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , tn |λ|n dv f , g ∗ , λ c≥ sup {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} σ (A) mn tn n ∗ ≥ sup λ d E (λ)f , g A mn {g∗ ∈X ∗ |g∗ =1} σ (A) ≥ n t mn sup {g ∗ ∈X ∗ |g ∗ =1} σ (A) λn dEA (λ)f , g ∗ (by the properties of the o.c.)

(3.27) Hence, f ∈ C{mn } (A) C(mn ) (A), resp. , (3.28) which proves the inverse inclusions C{mn } (A) ⊇ t>0 C(mn ) (A) ⊇ D T (t|A|) , D T (t|A|) . (3.29) t>0 From (3.19) and (3.29), we infer equalities (2.6). Remark 3.2. Observe that the assumption of the reflexivity of the space X was utilized for proving the inclusions D T (t|A|) , C{mn } (A) ⊆ t>0 C(mn ) (A) ⊆ D T (t|A|) (3.30) t>0 only. The inverse inclusions C{mn } (A) ⊇ t>0 C(mn ) (A) ⊇ D T (t|A|) , D T (t|A|) t>0 hold regardless whether X is reflexive or not. (3.31) 3230 MARAT V. MARKIN 4. The Gevrey classes of a scalar type spectral operator. Let 0 < β < ∞. As is easily seen, the sequence mn = [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , satisfies condition (WGR) and, thus, the function T (λ) := ∞ λn , β [n!] n=0 0 ≤ λ < ∞, (4.1) is well defined. According to Stirling’s formula, nβn ∼ (2π n)−β/2 eβn [n!]β as n → ∞. (4.2) Hence, there is such a C = C(β) ≥ 1 such that [n!]β ≤ nβn ≤ C(2π n)−β/2 eβn [n!]β ≤ Ceβn [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . .

(4.5) It is easy to make sure that the function ρλ (·) attains its maximum value on [0, ∞) at the point xλ = e−1 λ1/β . Therefore, sup n≥0 λn λx −1 1/β ≤ sup βx = ρλ xλ = eβe λ . nβn x x≥0 (4.6) For λ ≥ eβ , let N be the integer part of xλ = e−1 λ1/β .

Obviously, for all sufficiently large positive λ’s, e−(βe −1 /2)λ1/β ≤ 1 . λ (4.8) THE CARLEMAN CLASSES OF A SCALAR OPERATOR 3231 Based on (4.4), (4.6), (4.7), and (4.8), for all sufficiently large positive λ’s, β (e−β /2β )λ)1/β e(β ≤ T (λ) ≤ 2C sup n≥0 = 2Ce β n 2e λ ≤ 2C sup ρ2eβ λ (x) nβn x≥0 1/β βe−1 (2eβ λ) ≤e (4ββ λ)1/β (4.9) . Thus, by Theorem 3.1, in the considered case, the function T (λ) can be replaced by 1/β eλ (0 ≤ λ < ∞) and we arrive at the following. Corollary 4.1. Let A be a scalar type spectral operator in a complex reflexive Banach space and 0 < β < ∞. Then Ᏹ{β} (A) = Ᏹ (β) (A) = 1/β D et|A| , t>0 1/β D et|A| . (4.10) t>0 In particular, for β = 1, Corollary 4.1 gives the description of the analytic and entire vectors of the scalar type spectral operator A. Corollary 4.1 generalizes the corresponding result of [8] (see also [9, 10]) for a normal operator in a complex Hilbert space. Observe that the inclusions 1/β Ᏹ{β} (A) ⊇ D et|A| , t>0 Ᏹ (β) (A) ⊇ 1/β D et|A| . (4.11) t>0 are valid without the assumption of the reflexivity of X (see Remark 3.2). 5. A theorem of the Paley-Wiener type. Consider the self-adjoint differential operator A = i(d/dx) (i is the imaginary unit ) in the complex Hilbert space L2 (−∞, ∞). With the unitary equivalence of this operator and the operator of multiplication by the independent variable x in view, by Theorem 3.1 as well as by [9, 10], we arrive at the following theorem of the Paley-Wiener type [18, 22]. Theorem 5.1. Let {mn }∞ n=0 be a sequence of positive numbers satisfying condition (WGR), then f ∈ C{mn } (A) C(mn ) (A) ⇐⇒ ∞ −∞ fˆ(x)2 T 2 (t|x|) dx < ∞ (5.1) (fˆ is the Fourier transform of f ) for some (any) 0 < t < ∞, the function T (·) being replaceable by any nonnegative, continuous, and increasing function L(·) defined on [0, ∞) and satisfying (3.1) with some positive γ1 , γ2 , c1 , c2 , and a nonnegative R. The only natural question to be answered now is how the abstract smoothness relative to the differential operator A in L2 (−∞, ∞) reveals itself as the smoothness in the ordinary sense. 3232 MARAT V. MARKIN For any f ∈ W2n (I), where I is an interval of the real axis and W2n (I) = H n (I) is the nth-order Sobolev space [20], let f (·) be the representative of the equivalence class f continuously differentiable n−1 times and such that f (n−1) (·) is absolutely continuous on I. For f ∈ W2∞ (−∞, ∞) := ∞ W2n (−∞, ∞), (5.2) n=0 let f (·) be the infinite-differentiable representative of the equivalence class f such that ∞ −∞ (n) 2 f (t) dt < ∞, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . . (5.3) Let def Ĉ{mn } (−∞, ∞) = def Ĉ(mn ) (−∞, ∞) = f ∈ W2∞ (−∞, ∞) | ∀[a, b] ⊆ (−∞, ∞) ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : max f (n) (t) ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , a≤t≤b f∈ (5.4) W2∞ (−∞, ∞) | ∀[a, b] ⊆ (−∞, ∞), ∀α > 0 (n) ∃c > 0 : max f (t) ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . . a≤t≤b We will impose upon the sequence {mn }∞ n=0 an additional condition. (DI) There are an L > 0 and a γ > 1 such that mn+1 ≤ Lγ n mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . . Note that the name (DI) originates from the words “differentiation invariant” since, as is easily verifiable, under this condition, the Carleman classes C{mn } (−∞, ∞) and C(mn ) (−∞, ∞) along with a function f (·) contain its first derivative, f (·). Observe that, for 0 ≤ β < ∞, the Gevrey sequence mn = [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , meets condition (DI) with any γ > 1. Indeed, in this case, mn+1 /mn = (n + 1)β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . . Lemma 5.2. Let a sequence of positive numbers {mn }∞ n=0 satisfy condition (DI). Then C{mn } (A) ⊆ Ĉ{mn } (−∞, ∞), (5.5) C(mn ) (A) ⊆ Ĉ(mn ) (−∞, ∞). Proof. Let f ∈ C{mn } (A) (C(mn ) (A)), Then f ∈ W2∞ (−∞, ∞), (5.6) and for some (any) α > 0, there is a c > 0 such that f L2 (−∞,∞) = ∞ −∞ (n) f (x)2 dx 1/2 ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . . (5.7) 3233 THE CARLEMAN CLASSES OF A SCALAR OPERATOR We fix a finite segment [a, b] of the real axis. Then, according to the Sobolev embedding theorems [20] (see also [22, 23]), the space W21 (a, b) is continuously embedded into C[a, b], that is, for some M > 0 and any f ∈ W21 (a, b), !

Therefore, for an arbitrary n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , ! " max f (n) (x) ≤ Mf W 1 (a,b) ≤ M f (n) L2 (a,b) + f (n+1) L2 (a,b) 2 a≤t≤b !

Based on this Lemma, we obtain the following proposition. Proposition 5.3. Let {mn }∞ n=0 be a sequence of positive numbers satisfying (WGR) 2 and (DI). If f ∈ L (−∞, ∞) is such that, for some (any) 0 < t < ∞, ∞ −∞ fˆ(x)2 T 2 (t|x|) dx < ∞, (5.10) there is a representative f (·) of the equivalence class f such that f (·) ∈ C ∞ (−∞, ∞), ∞ (n) f (x)2 dx < ∞, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , f (·) ∈ C{mn } (−∞, ∞) C(mn ) (−∞, ∞) , −∞ (5.11) the function T (·) being replaceable by any nonnegative, continuous, and increasing function L(·) defined on [0, ∞) and satisfying (3.1) with some positive γ1 , γ2 , c1 , c2 , and a nonnegative R. Corollary 5.4. Let 0 < β < ∞. If f ∈ L2 (−∞, ∞) is such that, for some (any) 0 < t < ∞, ∞ −∞ fˆ(x)2 e2t|x|1/β dx < ∞, (5.12) there is a representative f (·) of the equivalence class f such that f (·) ∈ C ∞ (−∞, ∞), ∞ (n) f (x)2 dx < ∞, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , f (·) ∈ Ᏹ{β} (−∞, ∞) Ᏹ(β) (−∞, ∞) . ∞ (5.13) In particular, for β = 1, we obtain sufficient conditions for the real analyticity and entireness. 3234 MARAT V. MARKIN 6. Remarks. It is to be noted that, in [10] (see also [8, 9]), not only were equalities (2.6) for a normal operator in a complex Hilbert space proved to hold in the set-theoretical sense but also in the topological sense, the sets C{mn } (A) and C(mn ) (A) considered as the inductive and, respectively, projective limits of the Banach spaces Cα[mn ] (A) := f ∈ C ∞ (A)| ∃c > 0 : An f ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, . . . , (6.1) 0 < α < ∞, with the norms f Cα[mn ] (A) := sup n≥0 n A f (6.2) αn mn % & and the sets t>0 D(T (t|A|)) and t>0 D(T (t|A|)) as the inductive and, respectively, projective limits of the Hilbert spaces Ht[T ] (A) := D T (t|A|) , 0 < t < ∞, (6.3) with inner products (f , g)Ht[T ] (A) := T (t|A|)f , T (t|A|)g , 0 < t < ∞. (6.4) Observe also that, in [11] (see also [10]), similar results were obtained for the generator of a bounded analytic semigroup in a Banach space. Acknowledgments.
