We study the spectral properties of the transition semigroup of the killed onedimensional Cauchy process on the half-line (0,∞) and the interval (−1, 1). This process is related to the square root of one-dimensional Laplacian A = − √ − d dx with a Dirichlet exterior condition (on a complement of a domain), and to a mixed Steklov problem in the half-plane. For the half-line, an explicit formula ...
