Logarithmic Schrödinger operators

Abstract: In this paper we consider the Schrödinger operator $\mathcal L_V= -Δ+ V$ in $\mathbb R^d$ with a non negative potential $V$, and $V\not\equiv 0$. We define the logarithmic Schrödinger operator $\log \mathcal L_V$ proving its main properties. We obtain a pointwise representation of $\log \mathcal L_V$ when $V$ satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality of exponent $q> \frac{d}{2}$ by using the semigroup of operators ${T_t^V}_{t>0}$ generated by $\mathcal L_V$. We consider the Lipschitz function space adapted to the Schrödinger setting to solve the initial value problem [ \begin{cases} \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=-(\log \mathcal{L}_V)u, & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^n \times (0,\infty), \ u(x,0)=f(x), & x \in \mathbb{R}^d \end{cases} ] in terms of the fractional integral associated with $\mathcal L_V$.
