\(A_p\) weights and quantitative estimates in the Schrödinger setting (Q2272948): Difference between revisions

The authors develop the study of the Schrödinger operator \(L = -\, \Delta + V\) in \(R^n\), \(n \geq 3\), where the non-negative function \(V\) is in the reverse Hölder class. They point out that there has already been much work done on one-weight inequalities for these operators. However, there have never been sharp estimates, or any sort of quantitative estimates, for these operators. For the first time, the authors are able to prove such estimates. The aim of the authors is to study the following results regarding the weights \(A_p^\infty\) and \(A^{\alpha, \theta}_{p,q}\): the quantitative estimates for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function associated to \(L\) in terms of \(A_p^\infty\), the quantitative estimates for the fractional integral operator associated to \(L,\) denoted by \(L^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\), in terms of \(A^{\alpha, \theta}_{p,q}\) and the ``exp-log'' link between \(A^\infty_p\) and \(\mathrm{BMO}_\infty\). To be more specific, the first main result of this paper consists of quantitative estimates for several versions of maximal functions associated to \(L.\) Here the authors mainly consider the Hardy-Littlewood type maximal function, the fractional maximal function, and the maximal function associated to the heat semigroup generated by \(L\). Another result regards the fractional maximal function \(M^{\theta, \alpha}\) associated to \(L\). Finally, the third main result of the paper is a quantitative estimate of the fractional integral operator \(L^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\).
