Kato’s conjecture, stating that the domain of the square root of any accretive operator L=-div(A) with bounded measurable coefficients in n is the Sobolev space H 1 ( n ), i.e. the domain of the underlying sesquilinear form, has recently been obtained by Auscher, Hofmann, Lacey, McIntosh and the author. These notes present the result and explain the strategy of proof.
