The Hunt property and unique solvability of the inverse problem of potential theory for one class of generalized Ukawa potentials (Q1288060)

The author studies a class of spherically-symmetric central potentials. This class includes some well-known potentials of theoretical physics, in particular, the Coulomb potential for a static point charge (which is corrected, in the first-order quantum electrodynamics approximation, by the polarization effect of the electron-positron vacuum and scalar particle vacuum), the principle fundamental solution of the operator of the free Hamiltonian \(H=c\sqrt{p^2+m^2c^2}-mc^2\) of a quasirelativistic particle, the one-velocity and many-velocity Peierls potentials, and some other potentials. The class of potentials in question is a class of generalized Ukawa potentials, \[ J(r) = \frac{1}{r}\int\limits_0^{\infty}e^{-sr}\,dW(s). \] The generalization is connected with the choice of \(W\) in the class of finite measures on the half-axis \(s\geq 0\) whose variation \(| W|(s)\) increases like \(o(s^2)\) as \(s\to\infty\). The indicated class of potentials (denoted by the symbol \(H\)) has the important property (Theorem 1) that the potentials with nonnegative measure \(W\) belong to the class of Hunt potentials. As is noted by the author, this fact enables us to reckon on solvability and uniqueness of a solution to the Dirichlet problem for these potentials in a regular domain with compact boundary. For these potentials, the author proves (in Theorem 2) unique solvability of the outer inverse Dirichlet problem.
