Abstract

We obtain global pointwise estimates for kernels of the resolvents (IT)1(I-T)^{-1} of integral operators Tf(x)=ΩK(x,y)f(y)dω(y)Tf(x) = \int_{\Omega} K(x, y) f(y) d \omega(y) on L2(Ω,ω)L^2(\Omega, \omega) under the assumptions that TL2(ω)L2(ω)<1||T||_{L^2(\omega) \rightarrow L^2 (\omega)} <1 and d(x,y)=1/K(x,y)d(x,y)=1/K(x,y) is a quasi-metric. Let K1=KK_1=K and Kj(x,y)=ΩKj1(x,z)K(z,y)dω(z)K_j(x,y) = \int_{\Omega} K_{j-1} (x,z) K(z,y) \, d \omega (z) for j1j \geq 1. Then K(x,y)ecK2(x,y)/K(x,y)j=1Kj(x,y)K(x,y)eCK2(x,y)/K(x,y), K(x,y) e^{c K_2 (x,y)/K(x,y)} \leq \sum_{j=1}^{\infty} K_j(x,y) \leq K(x,y) e^{C K_2 (x,y)/K(x,y)}, for some constants c,C>0c,C>0. Our estimates yield matching bilateral bounds for Green's functions of the fractional Schr\"{o}dinger operators ()α/2q(-\triangle)^{\alpha/2}-q with arbitrary nonnegative potentials qq on Rn\mathbb{R}^n for 0<α<n0<\alpha<n, or on a bounded non-tangentially accessible domain Ω\Omega for 0<α20<\alpha \le 2. In probabilistic language, these results can be reformulated as explicit bilateral bounds for the conditional gauge associated with Brownian motion or α\alpha-stable L\'evy processes.
