Resolvent estimates for Schrödinger operators in \(L^ p(R^ N)\) and the theory of exponentially bounded \(C\)-semigroups (Q1813619)

The Schrödinger equation \({\partial\psi \over\partial t}=i\Delta\psi+V\psi\) can be studied in the spaces \(L^ p(\mathbb{R}^ N)\), \(1\leq p\leq\infty\). Difficulties arise if \(p\neq 2\) because then the `` unperturbed evolution operator'' \(e^{i\Delta t}\) is unbounded. The difficulties can be overcome using a technique of Sjöstrand. Starting from these results, the author obtains growth estimates on the norm of the resolvents \(\|(z-\Delta+V)^{-1}\|_{p,p}\), \(\hbox {Im} z\neq 0\).
