Smooth perturbations of the functional calculus and applications to Riemannian geometry on spaces of metrics

We show for a certain class of operators A and holomorphic functions f that the functional calculus A↦ f(A) is holomorphic. Using this result we are able to prove that fractional Laplacians (1+Δg)p depend real analytically on the metric g in suitable Sobolev topologies. As an application we obtain l...

Description
Summary:We show for a certain class of operators A and holomorphic functions f that the functional calculus A↦ f(A) is holomorphic. Using this result we are able to prove that fractional Laplacians (1+Δg)p depend real analytically on the metric g in suitable Sobolev topologies. As an application we obtain local well-posedness of the geodesic equation for fractional Sobolev metrics on the space of all Riemannian metrics.
