On a domain of finite measure, we study the elliptic operator with a homogeneous Hermitian symbol of degree γ ∈ ( 0 , 2 ) , which is a generalization of the standard fractional Laplacian. We prove that the semigroup of this operator is positivity improving, and as a consequence, its eigenvalue with the smallest real part is real and non‐degenerate.
