Green function for Schrödinger operator and conditioned Feynman-Kac gauge (Q1086424)

The author considers the Schrödinger operator H defined in bounded \(C^{1,1}\) region \({\mathcal D}\subset {\mathbb{R}}^ d\), \(d\geq 3\) by the operation \((\Delta /2)+q(x)\) and zero Dirichlet condition on \(\partial {\mathcal D}\). It is assumed that upper edge of the spectrum of H is negative and that potential q(x) is a Borel function belonging to the class \[ K_ d^{loc}=\{q(x),\lim_{\alpha \downarrow 0} \sup_{| x| \leq R} \int_{| x-y| \leq \alpha} | q(y)| \cdot | y- x|^{-d+2}dy=0,\forall R>0\}. \] Denote by V(x,y) and G(x,y) the Green functions in \({\mathcal D}\) for H and \(\Delta\) /2. The main results of the paper are following: (i) Let \(x_ t\) be the Brownian motion generated by the transition density \[ P_ y^{{\mathcal D}}(t,x,u)=G^{- 1}(x,y)p^{{\mathcal D}}(t,x,u)G(u,y),\quad t>0,\quad x,u\in {\mathcal D} \] and \(y\in {\mathcal D}\) is a fixed point, \(p^{{\mathcal D}}(t,x,u)\) is the transition density of the standard Brownian motion outside of \({\mathcal D}\) (this is so-called y-conditioned Brownian motion). Then \[ V(x,y)=G(x,y)\cdot E^ x_ y\{\exp \int^{T}_{0}q(x_ t)dt\} \] where T is the life time for \(x_ t\) and \(E^ x_ y\) is corresponding expectation. (ii) V(x,y)/G(x,y) can be extended to a continuous and positive function on \(\bar {\mathcal D}\times \bar {\mathcal D}.\) (iii) There exists a constant \(C=C({\mathcal D},q)>0\) such that \[ C^{- 1}G(x,y)\leq V(x,y)\leq CG(x,y),\quad x,y\in {\mathcal D} \] (iv) \(\partial V(x,y)/\partial n_ y\), \(x\in {\mathcal D}\), \(y\in \partial {\mathcal D}\) exists and is the Poisson kernel for the Dirichlet problem corresponding to the Schrödinger operator H.
