$L^p$ estimates for fractional schrodinger operators with kato class potentials

Abstract: Let $\alpha>0$, $H=(-\triangle)^{\alpha}+V(x)$, $V(x)$ belongs to the higher order Kato class $K_{2\alpha}(\mathbbm{R}^n)$. For $1\leq p\leq \infty$, we prove a polynomial upper bound of $|e^{-itH}(H+M)^{-\beta}|_{L^p, L^p}$ in terms of time $t$. Both the smoothing exponent $\beta$ and the growth order in $t$ are almost optimal compared to the free case. The main ingredients in our proof are pointwise heat kernel estimates for the semigroup $e^{-tH}$. We obtain a Gaussian upper bound with sharp coefficient for integral $\alpha$ and a polynomial decay for fractal $\alpha$.
