Riesz transforms associated with higher-order Schrödinger type operators (1603.08171v1)

Abstract: In this paper, let $L=L_{0}+V$ be a Schr\"{o}dinger type operator where $L_{0}$ is higher order elliptic operator with complex coefficients in divergence form and $V$ is signed measurable function, under the strongly subcritical assumption on $V$, the authors study the $L^{q}$ boundedness of Riesz transforms $\nabla^{m}L^{-1/2}$ for $q\leq 2$ and obtain a sharp result. Furthermore, the authors impose extra regularity assumptions on $V$ to obtain the $L^{q}$ boundedness of Riesz transforms $\nabla^{m}L^{-1/2}$ for $q>2$. As an application, the main results can be applied to the operator $L=(-\Delta)^{m}-\gamma|x|^{-2m}$ for suitable $\gamma$
