Abstract

We develop a holomorphic functional calculus for first-order operators DBDB to solve boundary value problems for Schr\"{o}dinger equations divAu+aVu=0-\mathrm{div}\, A \nabla u + a V u = 0 in the upper half-space R+n+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+ with nNn\in\mathbb{N}. This relies on quadratic estimates for DBDB, which are proved for coefficients A,a,VA,a,V that are independent of the transversal direction to the boundary, and comprised of a complex-elliptic pair (A,a)(A,a) that are bounded and measurable, and a singular potential VV in either Ln/2(Rn)L^{n/2}(\mathbb{R}^n) or the reverse H\"{o}lder class Bq(Rn)B^{q}(\mathbb{R}^n) with qmax{n2,2}q\geq\max\{\tfrac{n}{2},2\}. In the latter case, square function bounds are also shown to be equivalent to non-tangential maximal function bounds. This allows us to prove that the (Dirichlet) Regularity and Neumann boundary value problems with L2(Rn)L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)-data are well-posed if and only if certain boundary trace operators defined by the functional calculus are isomorphisms. We prove this property when the principal coefficient matrix AA has either a Hermitian or block structure. More generally, the set of all complex coefficients for which the boundary value problems are well-posed is shown to be open.
