Abstract: We consider Dirichlet exterior value problems related to a class of non-local Schr"odinger operators, whose kinetic terms are given in terms of Bernstein functions of the Laplacian. We prove elliptic and parabolic Aleksandrov-Bakelman-Pucci type estimates, and as an application obtain existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. Next we prove a refined maximum principle in the sense of Berestycki-Nirenberg-Varadhan, and a converse. Also, we prove a weak anti-maximum principle in the sense of Cl'ement-Peletier, valid on compact subsets of the domain, and a full anti-maximum principle by restricting to fractional Schr"odinger operators. Furthermore, we show a maximum principle for narrow domains, and a refined elliptic ABP-type estimate. Finally, we obtain Liouville-type theorems for harmonic solutions and for a class of semi-linear equations. Our approach is probabilistic, making use of the properties of subordinate Brownian motion.
