Abstract

Let H=Δ+V(x)H=-\Delta+V(|x|) be a nonnegative radial Schr\"odinger operator on Rd\mathbb{R}^d, d2d\ge 2, whose positive harmonic function satisfies U(r)rσ0U(r)\simeq r^{-\sigma_0} for 0<r10<r\le 1 and U(r)rσU(r)\simeq r^{-\sigma_\infty} for r1r\ge 1, with d/2<σ0,σ<d/2-d/2<\sigma_0,\sigma_\infty<d/2. Assuming the two-sided ground-state heat-kernel estimate of Ishige, Kabeya, and Ouhabaz, we determine the maximal open range in which the kernel of Hs/2H^{-s/2} admits the clean two-sided estimate KsH(x,y)xysdU(x)U(y)/[U(x+xy)U(y+xy)]K_s^H(x,y)\simeq |x-y|^{s-d}U(|x|)U(|y|)/[U(|x|+|x-y|)U(|y|+|x-y|)], namely 0<s<min{d,d2σ0,d2σ}0<s<\min\{d,d-2\sigma_0,d-2\sigma_\infty\}. In this range we give a complete necessary-and-sufficient classification of the broken-power estimate wβ0,βHs/2fLq,vwα0,αfLp,u\|w_{-\beta_0,-\beta_\infty}H^{-s/2}f\|_{L^{q,v}}\lesssim \|w_{\alpha_0,\alpha_\infty}f\|_{L^{p,u}} for 1<p,q<1<p,q<\infty and 1u,v1\le u,v\le\infty. The result covers signed ground-state exponents, the full range q<pq<p, all one-sided weight equalities, both scale equalities, and simultaneous endpoint corners. Scale equality is governed by uvu\le v, including when q<pq<p; an input or output power endpoint requires respectively u=1u=1 or v=v=\infty; and at a same-side power/scale corner the only admissible pair is (u,v)=(1,)(u,v)=(1,\infty). The proof combines clean-kernel analysis, local Lorentz-Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev estimates, rank-one endpoint arguments, geometric annular sequence spaces, a triangular matrix theorem, and a nine-block decomposition.
