Abstract

We consider the higher order Schr\"odinger operator H=(Δ)m+V(x)H=(-\Delta)^m+V(x) in nn dimensions with real-valued potential VV when n>4mn>4m, mNm\in \mathbb N. We adapt our recent results for m>1m>1 to show that when HH has a threshold eigenvalue the wave operators are bounded on Lp(Rn)L^p(\mathbb R^n) for the natural range 1p<n2m1\leq p<\frac{n}{2m} in both even and odd dimensions. The approach used works without distinguishing even and odd cases, and matches the range of boundedness in the classical case when m=1m=1. The proof applies in the classical m=1m=1 case as well and simplifies the argument.
