This article reviews several definitions of the fractional Laplace operator (-Delta)^{alpha/2} (0 < alpha < 2) in R^d, also known as the Riesz fractional derivative operator, as an operator on Lebesgue spaces L^p, on the space C_0 of continuous functions vanishing at infinity and on the space C_{bu} of bounded uniformly continuous functions. Among these definitions are ones involving singular integrals, semigroups of operators, Bochner's subordination and harmonic extensions. We collect and extend known results in order to prove that all these definitions agree: on each of the function spaces considered, the corresponding operators have common domain and they coincide on that common domain.

  1. Wasserstein gradient flows of Maximum Mean Discrepancy with energy kernels

    math.AP 2026-08 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Global well-posedness, particle mean-field limits, rigidity of critical points, and obstructions to uniform convergence rates are established for Wasserstein gradient flows of squared MMD with energy kernels -|x|^q, 0...

  2. False vacuum decay in long-range interacting quantum systems

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    In long-range Ising chains the false-vacuum bounce action scales as B∼h^{-1/σ} for σ<1 and recovers Coleman B∼h^{-1} (plus h^{σ-2} corrections) for 1<σ<2, with algebraic tails that leave the leading exponents intact.

  3. The Lewy-Stampacchia Inequality for the Fractional Laplacian and Its Application to Anomalous Unidirectional Diffusion Equations

    math.AP 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For the spectral fractional Laplacian on a bounded domain, obstacle solutions satisfy the Lewy-Stampacchia inequality f ≤ Au ≤ max{f, Aψ}, which yields well-posedness of a fractional unidirectional diffusion equation.
