Abstract:We describe the geometric structure of the ${\cal L}$-characteristic of fractional powers of bounded or compact linear operators over domains with arbitrary measure. The description builds essentially on the Riesz-Thorin and Marcinkiewicz-Stein-Weiss- Ovchinnikov interpolation theorems, as well as on the Krasnosel'skij-Krejn factorization theorem.
Keywords: fractional powers of operators, $L$-characteristic, Lebesgue spaces, interpolation theorems
