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>2mn>2m, mNm\in \mathbb N, m>1m>1. When nn is odd, we prove that the wave operators extend to bounded operators on Lp(Rn)L^p(\mathbb R^n) for all 1p1\leq p\leq\infty under nn and mm dependent conditions on the potential analogous to the case when m=1m=1. Further, if VV is small in certain norms, that depend nn and mm, the wave operators are bounded on the same range for even nn. We further show that if the smallness assumption is removed in even dimensions the wave operators remain bounded in the range 1<p<1<p<\infty.
