The $L^p$-boundedness of wave operators for 4-th order Schrödinger operators on $\mathbb{R}^2$, I

Artbazar Galtbayar, Kenji Yajima

TL;DR

This work addresses the problem of $L^p$-boundedness for the high-energy components of wave operators associated with the two-dimensional fourth-order Schrödinger operator $H = \Delta^2 + V(x)$. It develops a resolvent-centered, stationary framework and establishes good-operator (GOP) bounds for the high-energy part via a controlled Born-series analysis in two regimes: (i) small potentials, where the series converges in ${\bf B}(L^p)$, and (ii) larger potentials with rapid decay and no positive eigenvalues, where a detailed decomposition of the scattering matrix yields GOP for the high-energy wave operator. The results reduce the mapping properties of $f(H)P_{ac}(H)$ at high energy to those of the free multiplier and set the stage for low-energy analysis in a companion paper. Overall, the paper extends $L^p$-boundedness theory of wave operators to the 2D, higher-order setting and contributes essential resolvent-analytic tools and kernel estimates for future dispersive and scattering investigations.

Abstract

We prove that high energy parts of wave operators for fourth order Schrödinger operators $H=Δ^2 + V(x)$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ are bounded in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$ for $p\in(1,\infty)$.

Key Result

Theorem 1.2

Suppose $M_q(V) \in L^1({\mathbb R}^2)$ for a $q>1$ and $\langle \log |x|\rangle^{2} V \in L^1({\mathbb R}^2)$. Let $a>0$. Then, there exists $c_0>0$ such that $W_{\pm} \chi_{\geq{a}}(|D|)$ are GOP whenever $\|V\|_{L^{q}_{loc,u}}+ \|\langle \log |x|\rangle^{2} V\|_{L^1}\leq c_0$.
