Decay estimates for four dimensional Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon and wave equations with obstructions at zero energy
Abstract: We investigate dispersive estimates for the Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta +V$ with $V$ is a real-valued decaying potential when there are zero energy resonances and eigenvalues in four spatial dimensions. If there is a zero energy obstruction, we establish the low-energy expansion $$ e{itH}\chi(H) P_{ac}(H)=O(1/(\log t)) A_0+ O(1/t)A_1+O((t\log t){-1})A_2+ O(t{-1}(\log t){-2})A_3. $$ Here $A_0,A_1:L1(\mathbb Rn)\to L\infty (\mathbb Rn)$, while $A_2,A_3$ are operators between logarithmically weighted spaces, with $A_0,A_1,A_2$ finite rank operators, further the operators are independent of time. We show that similar expansions are valid for the solution operators to Klein-Gordon and wave equations. Finally, we show that under certain orthogonality conditions, if there is a zero energy eigenvalue one can recover the $|t|{-2}$ bound as an operator from $L1\to L\infty$. Hence, recovering the same dispersive bound as the free evolution in spite of the zero energy eigenvalue.
