Coulomb scattering in the massless Nelson model. III: Ground state wave functions and non-commutative recurrence relations (Q1702557)

Let \(H_{ P,\sigma}\) be the fiber Hamiltonian of the massless Nelson model at total momentum \(P\) and infrared cut-off \(\sigma > 0\). The Hamiltonian has a normalized ground state vector. The regularity of the ground state was discussed by the authors in their previous work. This paper intends to obtain bounds for the \(n-\)photon wave functions \(f^n_{P,\sigma}\) of the ground state vector in terms of \(P\) and \(\sigma\). The method in the paper is based on revealing the connection between infrared problems and the theory of non-commutative recurrence relations. It consists of establishing a different representation for the solution of a non-commutative recurrence relation and using the theory to derive a formula for \(f^n_{P,\sigma}\) and the bounds for the derivative of the wave functions. As the authors stated, the main results in the paper include the following estimates \[ |\partial_{P j} f_{ P,\sigma}^ n (k_1 ,\cdots, k_n )|, \;|\partial_{P j} \partial_{ P j'} f_{P,\sigma}^n (k_1 ,\cdots, k_n )|\leq \frac{1}{\sqrt{n!}} \frac{(c\lambda_0 )^ n}{\sigma^{\delta_{\lambda_0}}} \prod_{i=1}^n \frac{\chi_{[\sigma,\kappa)} (k_i )}{|k_i |^{3/2}}, \] where \(c\) is a constant, \(\lambda_0 \mapsto \delta_{\lambda_0}\) is a positive function of the maximal admissible coupling constant which satisfies \(\lim_{\lambda_0 \to 0} \delta_{\lambda_0} =0\) and \(\chi_{[\delta,\kappa)}\) is the (approximate) characteristic function of the energy region between the infrared cut-off \(\sigma\) and the ultraviolet cut-off \(\kappa\).
