Commutators of Riesz Transforms Related to?Schr?dinger Operators

In this work we obtain boundedness on L ^p , for 1<p<??, of commutators T _b f=bTf?T(bf) where T is any of the Riesz transforms or their conjugates associated to the Schr?dinger operator ???+V with V satisfying an appropriate reverse H?lder inequality. The class where b belongs is larger than the usual BMO. We also obtain a substitute result for p=??, under a slightly stronger condition on?b.     

Riesz Transforms Associated with Higher-Order Schrödinger Type Operators

Let L = L ₀ + V be a Schrödinger type operator, where L ₀ is a higher order elliptic operator with bounded complex coefficients in divergence form and V is a signed measurable function. Under the strongly subcritical assumption on V, we study the L ^q boundedness of Riesz transform ? ^m L ^?1/2 for q ≤ 2 based on the off-diagonal estimates of semigroup e ^{?t L} . Furthermore, the authors impose extra regularity assumptions on V to obtain the L ^q boundedness of Riesz transform ? ^m L ^?1/2 for some q > 2. In particular, these results are applied to the more interesting Schrödinger operators L = P(D) + V, where P(D) is any homogeneous positive elliptic operator with constant coefficients.     

Commutators of Singular Integral Operators Related to Magnetic Schrdinger Operators

Let A:=-(▽-ia(向量))·(?-ia(向量))+V be a magnetic Schrdinger operator on L~2(R~n),n≥2,where a(向量)=(a_1,···,a_n)∈L~2_(loc)(R~n,R~n) and 0≤V∈L~1_(loc)(R~n).In this paper,we show that for a function b in Lipschitz space Lip_α(R~n) with α∈(0,1),the commutator[b,V~(1/2)A~(-1/2)] is bounded from L_p(R~n) to L_q(R~n),where p,q∈(1,2] and 1/p-1/q =α/n.     

Endpoint Properties of Localized Riesz Transforms and Fractional Integrals Associated to Schrödinger Operators

Let \({\mathcal L}\equiv-\Delta+V\) be the Schrödinger operator in \({{\mathbb R}^n}\), where V is a nonnegative function satisfying the reverse Hölder inequality. Let ρ be an admissible function modeled on the known auxiliary function determined by V. In this paper, the authors characterize the localized Hardy spaces \(H^1_\rho({{\mathbb R}^n})\) in terms of localized Riesz transforms and establish the boundedness on the BMO-type space \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) of these operators as well as the boundedness from \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) to \({\mathop\mathrm{BLO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) of their corresponding maximal operators, and as a consequence, the authors obtain the Fefferman–Stein decomposition of \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) via localized Riesz transforms. When ρ is the known auxiliary function determined by V, \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) is just the known space \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\), and \({\mathop\mathrm{BLO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) in this case is correspondingly denoted by \(\mathop\mathrm{BLO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\). As applications, when n?≥?3, the authors further obtain the boundedness on \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) of Riesz transforms \(\nabla{\mathcal L}^{-1/2}\) and their adjoint operators, as well as the boundedness from \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) to \(\mathop\mathrm{BLO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) of their maximal operators. Also, some endpoint estimates of fractional integrals associated to \({\mathcal L}\) are presented.     

Hardy Type Estimates for Riesz Transforms Associated with Schrdinger Operators on the Heisenberg Group

Let Hnbe the Heisenberg group and Q=2n +2 be its homogeneous dimension. In this paper, we consider the Schrdinger operator-?Hn+V, where ?Hn is the sub-Laplacian and V is the nonnegative potential belonging to the reverse Ho ¨lder class Bq1 for q1≥ Q/2. We show that the operators T1= V(-?Hn +V)-1 and T2=V1/2(-?Hn +V)-1/2 are both bounded from H1L(Hn) into L1(Hn). Our results are also valid on the stratified Lie group.     

Riesz Transforms of Schr?dinger Operators on Manifolds

We consider Schr?dinger operators A=???+V on L ^p (M) where M is a complete Riemannian manifold of homogeneous type and V=V ⁺?V ^? is a signed potential. We study boundedness of Riesz transform type operators $\nabla A^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ and $|V|^{\frac{1}{2}}A^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ on L ^p (M). When V ^? is strongly subcritical with constant ????(0,1) we prove that such operators are bounded on L ^p (M) for $p\in(p_{0}', 2]$ where $p_{0}'=1$ if N??2, and $p_{0}'=(\frac{2N}{(N-2)(1-\sqrt{1-\alpha })})' \in (1, 2)$ if N>2. We also study the case p>2. With additional conditions on V and M we obtain boundedness of ?A ^?1/2 and |V|^1/2 A ^?1/2 on L ^p (M) for p??(1,inf?(q ₁,N)) where q ₁ is such that $\nabla(-\Delta)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ is bounded on L ^r (M) for r??[2,q ₁).

Boundedness of Area Functions Related to Schrödinger Operators and Their Commutators in Weighted Hardy Spaces

In this paper, we consider the area function $S_Q$ related to the Schrödinger operator $\mathcal{L}$ and its commutator $S_{Q,b}$, establish the boundedness of $S_Q$ from $H^p_\rho(w)$ to $L^p(w)$ or $WL^p(w),$ as well as the boundedness of $S_{Q,b}$ from $H^1_\rho(w)$ to $WL^1(w).$

Commutators of Riesz transforms of magnetic Schrödinger operators

Let \({A=-(\nabla-i{\vec a})\cdot (\nabla-i{\vec a}) +V}\) be a magnetic Schrödinger operator acting on \({L^2({\mathbb R}^n)}\), n ≥  1, where \({{\vec a}=(a_1, \ldots, a_n)\in L^2_{\rm loc}({\mathbb R}^n, {\mathbb R}^n)}\) and \({0\leq V\in L^1_{\rm loc}({\mathbb R}^n)}\). In this paper, we show that when a function \({b\in {\rm BMO}({\mathbb R}^n)}\), the commutators [b, T _k ]f = T _k (b f) ? b T _k f, k = 1, . . . , n, are bounded on \({L^p({\mathbb R}^n)}\) for all 1 < p < 2, where the operators T _k are Riesz transforms (?/?x _k  ? i a _k )A ^?1/2 associated with A.     

Some estimates for commutators of Riesz transform associated with Schrödinger type operators

Let L₁ = ?Δ + V be a Schr:dinger operator and let L² = (?Δ)² + V² be a Schrödinger type operator on ?ⁿ (n ? 5), where V≠ 0 is a nonnegative potential belonging to certain reverse Hölder class B_s for s ? n/2. The Hardy type space \(H_{{L_2}}^1\) is defined in terms of the maximal function with respect to the semigroup \(\left\{ {{e^{ - t{L_2}}}} \right\}\) and it is identical to the Hardy space \(H_{{L_1}}^1\) established by Dziubański and Zienkiewicz. In this article, we prove the L^p-boundedness of the commutator R_b = bRf - R(bf) generated by the Riesz transform \(R = {\nabla ^2}L_2^{ - 1/2}\), where \(b \in BM{O_\theta }(\varrho )\), which is larger than the space BMO(?ⁿ). Moreover, we prove that R_b is bounded from the Hardy space \(H_{\mathcal{L}_1 }^1 \) into weak \(L_{weak}^1 (\mathbb{R}^n )\).     

Self-Adjoint Extensions of Discrete Magnetic Schrödinger Operators

Using the concept of an intrinsic metric on a locally finite weighted graph, we give sufficient conditions for the magnetic Schrödinger operator to be essentially self-adjoint. The present paper is an extension of some recent results proven in the context of graphs of bounded degree.

On Weighted Compactness of Commutators Related with Schr?dinger Operators

Let L =-Δ + V be a Schr?dinger operator, where Δ is the Laplacian operator on R^d(d ≥3), while the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse H¨older class B_q, q > d/2. In this paper,we study weighted compactness of commutators of some Schr?dinger operators, which include Riesz transforms, standard Calderón–Zygmund operators and Littlewood–Paley functions. These results substantially generalize some well-known results.     

A Weak Gordon Type Condition for Absence of Eigenvalues of One-dimensional Schrödinger Operators

We study one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with complex measures as potentials and present an improved criterion for absence of eigenvalues which involves a weak local periodicity condition. The criterion leads to sharp quantitative bounds on the eigenvalues. We apply our result to quasiperiodic measures as potentials.     

Schrödinger Operators on Zigzag Nanotubes

We consider the Schr?dinger operator with a periodic potential on quasi-1D models of zigzag single-wall carbon nanotubes. The spectrum of this operator consists of an absolutely continuous part (intervals separated by gaps) plus an infinite number of eigenvalues with infinite multiplicity. We describe all compactly supported eigenfunctions with the same eigenvalue. We define a Lyapunov function, which is analytic on some Riemann surface. On each sheet, the Lyapunov function has the same properties as in the scalar case, but it has branch points, which we call resonances. We prove that all resonances are real. We determine the asymptotics of the periodic and antiperiodic spectrum and of the resonances at high energy. We show that there exist two types of gaps: i) stable gaps, where the endpoints are periodic and anti-periodic eigenvalues, ii) unstable (resonance) gaps, where the endpoints are resonances (i.e., real branch points of the Lyapunov function). We describe all finite gap potentials. We show that the mapping: potential all eigenvalues is a real analytic isomorphism for some class of potentials. Submitted: October 5, 2006.

Stochastic Nonlinear Equations of Schrödinger Type

In this article, the solution for a stochastic nonlinear equation of Schrödinger type, which is perturbed by an infinite dimensional Wiener process, is investigated. The existence of the solution is proved by using the Galerkin method. Moment estimates for the solution are also derived. Examples from physics are given in the final part of the article.     

Gradient Estimates of q-Harmonic Functions of Fractional Schrödinger Operator

We study gradient estimates of q-harmonic functions u of the fractional Schrödinger operator Δ ^α/2?+?q, α?∈?(0, 1] in bounded domains D???? ^d . For nonnegative u we show that if q is Hölder continuous of order η?>?1???α then $\nabla u(x)$ exists for any x?∈?D and $|\nabla u(x)| \le c u(x)/ ({\rm dist}(x,\partial D) \wedge 1)$ . The exponent 1???α is critical i.e. when q is only 1???α Hölder continuous $\nabla u(x)$ may not exist. The above gradient estimates are well known for α?∈?(1, 2] under the assumption that q belongs to the Kato class $\mathcal{J}^{\alpha - 1}$ . The case α?∈?(0, 1] is different. To obtain results for α?∈?(0, 1] we use probabilistic methods. As a corollary, we obtain for α?∈?(0, 1) that a weak solution of Δ ^α/2 u?+?q u?=?0 is in fact a strong solution.
