Résumé

Kato’s conjecture, stating that the domain of the square root of any accretive operator $L=-\operatorname{div}(A\nabla )$ with bounded measurable coefficients in $\mathbb {R}^n$ is the Sobolev space $H^1(\mathbb {R}^n)$, 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.
