We show, among others, a certain smoothing property together with estimates near t=0 of the generated semigroup (it is not an analytic one) in the space L^2. The result is not trivial because the coefficient k×x is unbounded at infinity. The proof is mainly based on a cut-off technique. The equation ∂_=△u+(k×x)・▽u can be taken as a model problem for a linearized form of the Navier-Stokes equations in a domain exterior to a rotating obstacle. This paper is a step toward an analysis of the Navier-Stokes flow in such a domain.}, pages = {103--135}, title = {L² theory for the operator Δ+(κ×χ)・∇ in exterior domains}, volume = {11}, year = {2000} }
