\(L^ p\) norms of non-critical Schrödinger semigroups (Q1180631)

The authors investigate the asymptotic behavior of a Schrödinger semigroup \(e^{-tH}\) in the norm of \({\mathcal L}(L^ p(\mathbb{R}^ n),L^ q(\mathbb{R}^ n))\) as \(t\to\infty\). Here \(H=-\Delta+V\) is supposed to be positive and \(V\) satisfies \(V(x)\sim-c| x|^{-2}\) as \(| x|\to\infty\). Special attention is given to the case where there exists a positive resonance \(\eta\) (i.e. \(H\eta=0\)) satisfying \(\eta(x)\sim| x|^{-\alpha}\) as \(| x|\to\infty\). For example, it is shown that \(\| e^{-tH}\|_{{\mathcal L}(L^ p)}\) remains bounded if \(2\leq p<N/\alpha\), whereas \((1+t)^{\alpha/2- N/2p+\varepsilon}\) is an upper and \((1+t)^{\alpha/2-N/2p-\varepsilon}\) a lower bound if \(p>N/\alpha\). Also pointwise estimates of the semigroup kernel are obtained.
