On the trace of the wave group and regularity of potentials (2104.00833v1)

Abstract: For the wave equation $\partial_t^2-\Delta+V$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with compactly supported, real valued potential $V$, we establish a sharp relation between Sobolev regularity of $V$ and the existence of finite order expansions as $t\rightarrow 0$ for the relative trace of the wave group.
