A remark on smoothing of magnetic Schrödinger semigroups (Q910590)

Let T(t) be the semigroup generated by the Schrödinger operator \((i\nabla +a)^ 2\) with a magnetic field such that div a\(=0\) and \(\lim_{t\downarrow 0}\sup_{x\in k}E_ x(\int | a(b(s))|^ 2ds)<\infty\) for any compact set \(K\subseteq R\), where E is expectation with respect to Brownian motion starting at x. The author proves that \(T(t)[L^ 2\cap L^{\infty}]\subseteq C_ b\cap L^{\infty}\) (the bounded continuous functions). A counterexample for the general case is given.
