Abstract

Let H=Δ+VH=-\Delta+V be a Schr\"odinger operator on L2(Rn)L^2(\mathbb R^n) with real-valued potential VV for n>4n > 4 and let H0=ΔH_0=-\Delta. If VV decays sufficiently, the wave operators W±=slimt±eitHeitH0W_{\pm}=s-\lim_{t\to \pm\infty} e^{itH}e^{-itH_0} are known to be bounded on Lp(Rn)L^p(\mathbb R^n) for all 1p1\leq p\leq \infty if zero is not an eigenvalue, and on 1<p<n21<p<\frac{n}{2} if zero is an eigenvalue. We show that these wave operators are also bounded on L1(Rn)L^1(\mathbb R^n) by direct examination of the integral kernel of the leading term. Furthermore, if RnV(x)ϕ(x)dx=0\int_{\mathbb R^n} V(x) \phi(x) \, dx=0 for all eigenfunctions ϕ\phi, then the wave operators are LpL^p bounded for 1p<n1\leq p<n. If, in addition RnxV(x)ϕ(x)dx=0\int_{\mathbb R^n} xV(x) \phi(x) \, dx=0, then the wave operators are bounded for 1p<1\leq p<\infty.
