Abstract

We obtain Riesz transform bounds and characterise operator-adapted Hardy spaces to solve boundary value problems for singular Schr\"odinger equations div(Au)+aVu=0-\mathrm{div}(A\nabla u)+aVu=0 in the upper half-space R+1+n\mathbb{R}^{1+n}_{+} with boundary dimension n3n\geq 3. The coefficients (A,a,V)(A,a,V) are assumed to be independent of the transversal direction to the boundary, and consist of a complex-elliptic pair (A,a)(A,a) that is bounded and measurable with a certain block structure, and a non-negative singular potential VV in the reverse H\"older class RHq(Rn)\mathrm{RH}^{q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) for qmax{n2,2}q\geq \max\{\frac{n}{2},2\}. This block structure is significant because it allows for coefficients that are not symmetric but for which L2(Rn)\mathrm{L}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})-solvability persists due to recently obtained Kato square root type estimates. We find extrapolation intervals for exponents pp around 22 on which the Dirichlet problem is well-posed for boundary data in Lp(Rn)\mathrm{L}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), and the associated Regularity problem is well-posed for boundary data in Sobolev spaces V˙1,p(Rn)\dot{\mathcal{V}}^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) that are adapted to the potential VV, when p>1p>1. The well-posedness of these Dirichlet problems and related estimates then allow us to solve the corresponding Neumann problem with boundary data in Lp\mathrm{L}^{p}. The results permit boundary data in the Dziuba\`{n}ski--Zienkiewicz Hardy space HV1(Rn)\mathrm{H}^{1}_{V}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and adapted Hardy--Sobolev spaces H˙V1,p(Rn)\dot{\mathrm{H}}^{1,p}_{V}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) when p1p\leq 1. We also obtain comparability of square functions and nontangential maximal functions for the solutions with their boundary data.
