Decay estimates for Schr\"odinger heat semigroup with inverse square potential in Lorentz spaces II

Abstract

Let $H:=-\Delta+V$ be a nonnegative Schr\"odinger operator on $L^2({\bf R}^N)$, where $N\ge 2$ and $V$ is a radially symmetric inverse square potential. Let $\|\nabla^\alpha e^{-tH}\|_{(L^{p,\sigma}\to L^{q,\theta})}$ be the operator norm of $\nabla^\alpha e^{-tH}$ from the Lorentz space $L^{p,\sigma}({\bf R}^N)$ to $L^{q,\theta}({\bf R}^N)$, where $\alpha\in\{0,1,2,\dots\}$. We establish both of upper and lower decay estimates of $\|\nabla^\alpha e^{-tH}\|_{(L^{p,\sigma}\to L^{q,\theta})}$ and study sharp decay estimates of $\|\nabla^\alpha e^{-tH}\|_{(L^{p,\sigma}\to L^{q,\theta})}$. Furthermore, we characterize the Laplace operator $-\Delta$ from the view point of the decay of $\|\nabla^\alpha e^{-tH}\|_{(L^{p,\sigma}\to L^{q,\theta})}$.
