Abstract

The conference was motivated by the recent solutions of two longstanding questions. The first one is Kato's square root problem, i.e.~whether for an elliptic operator in divergence form on we have for . After a long development over 40 years this was shown in a joint effort by P.~Auscher, S.~Hofmann, M.~Lacey, A.~McIntosh and Ph.~Tchamitchian. For a new approach to this important result via Dirac operators and extensions of it, see the abstracts of A.~McIntosh and S.~Keith. The second problem, attributed to Br{\'e}zis in the eighties, asks whether the Cauchy problem for every generator of an analytic semigroup in an -space with $1
