In general, for a $C_0$-semigroup \\semi on $({\\cal X},\\|\\:.\\:\\|)$, its adjoint semigroup \\semia is no longer strongly continuous on the dual space $({\\cal X}^{*},\\|\\:.\\:\\|^{*})$. Consider on ${\\cal X}^{*}$ the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets of $({\\cal X},\\|\\:.\\:\\|)$ denoted by ${\\cal C}({\\cal X}^{*},{\\cal X})$, for which the usual semigroups in literature becomes $C_0$-semigroups. The main purpose of this paper is to prove that only a core can be the domain of uniqueness for a $C_0$-semigroup on $({\\cal X}^{*},{\\cal C}({\\cal X}^{*},{\\cal X}))$. As application, we show that the generalized Schr\\\"odinger operator ${\\cal A}^Vf={1/2}\\Delta f+b\\cdot\\nabla f-Vf$, $f\\in C_0^\\infty(\\R^d)$, is $L^\\infty(\\R^d,dx)$-unique. Moreover, we prove the $L^1(\\R^d,dx)$-uniqueness of weak solution for the Fokker-Planck equation associated with ${\\cal A}^V$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-06-09T11:29:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "banach space", "uniqueness", "fokker-planck equation", "compact subsets", "adjoint semigroup" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0806.1428L" } } }
