The \(L^p\)-boundedness of wave operators for four-dimensional Schrödinger operators (Q2164168)

Summary: We prove that the low energy parts of the wave operators $W_\pm$ for Schrödinger operators \(H=-\Delta+V(x)H\) on \(\mathbb{R}^4\) are bounded in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^4)\) for \(1 < p \leq 2\) and are unbounded for \(2 < p\leq\infty\) if \(H\) has resonances at the threshold. If \(H\) has eigenfunctions only at the threshold, it has recently been proved that they are bounded in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^4)\) for \(1\leq p < 4\) in general and for \(1\leq p < \infty\) if all threshold eigenfunctions \(\varphi\) satisfy \(\int_{\mathbb{R}^4} x_jV(x)\varphi(x)dx=0\) for \(1\leq j\leq 4\). We prove in this case that they are unbounded in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^4 \) for \(4 < p < \infty)\) unless the latter condition is satisfied. It is long known that the high energy parts are bounded in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^4 )\) for all \(1\leq p\leq\infty\) and that the same holds for $W_\pm$ if \(H\) has no eigenfunctions nor resonances at the threshold.
