We consider the Schr\"odinger type operator ${\mathcal A}=(1+|x|^{\alpha})\Delta-|x|^{\beta}$, for $\alpha\in [0,2]$ and $\beta\ge 0$. We prove that, for any $p\in (1,\infty)$, the minimal realization of operator ${\mathcal A}$ in…
In this article we study for $p\in (1,\infty)$ the $L^p$-realization of the vector-valued Schr\"odinger operator $\mathcal{L}u := \mathrm{div} (Q\nabla u) + V u$. Using a noncommutative version of the Dore-Venni theorem due to Monniaux and…
In this paper we establish generation of analytic strongly continuous semigroup in $L^p$--spaces for the symmetric matrix Schr\"odinger operator $div(Q\nabla u)-Vu$, where, for every $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$, $V(x)=(v_{ij}(x))$ is a semi-definite…

We prove that operators of the form $A=-a(x)^2\Delta^{2}$, with $|D a(x)|\leq c a(x)^\frac{1}{2}$, generate analytic semigroups in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)$ for $1<p\leq\infty$ and in $C_b(\mathbb{R}^N)$. In particular, we deduce generation…
In the paper \cite{KLMR} the $L^p$-realization $L_p$ of the matrix Schr\"odinger operator $\mathcal{L}u=div(Q\nabla u)+Vu$ was studied. The generation of a semigroup in $L^p(\R^d,\C^m)$ and characterization of the domain $D(L_p)$ has been…
In this paper we prove that, under suitable assumptions on {\alpha} > 0, the operator L = (1 + |x|{\alpha})\Delta admits realizations generating contraction or analytic semigroups in Lp (RN). For some values of {\alpha}, we also explicitly…
In this paper we consider higher order Schr\"odinger operators $$\mathcal L u=Lu+Vu,$$ where $L$ denotes a fourth order operator and $V\geq 0$ a suitable potential. We initiate our analysis by considering the constant coefficients…
We prove that operators of the form $A=-a(x)^2\Delta^{2}$, with suitable growth conditions on the coefficient $a(x)$, generate analytic semigroups in $L^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$. In particular, we deduce generation results for the operator $A :=-…
We consider the higher order Schr\"odinger operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+V(x)$ in $n$ dimensions with real-valued potential $V$ when $n>4m-1$, $m\in \mathbb N$. We show that for any $\frac{2n}{n-4m+1}<p\leq \infty$ and $0\leq \alpha…

We prove first that the realization $A_{\min}$ of $A:=\mathrm{div}(Q\nabla)-V$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with unbounded coefficients generates a symmetric sub-Markovian and ultracontractive semigroup on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ which coincides on…
We extend the Feynman-Kac formula for Schr\"odinger type operators on vector bundles over noncompact Riemannian manifolds to possibly very singular potentials that appear in hydrogen like quantum mechanical problems and that need not be…

We analyze properties of semigroups generated by Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+V$ or polyharmonic operators $-(-\Delta)^m$, on metric graphs both on $L^p$-spaces and spaces of continuous functions. In the case of spatially constant…
We consider fractional Schr\"odinger operators $H=(-\Delta)^\alpha+V(x)$ in $n$ dimensions with real-valued potential $V$ when $n>2\alpha$, $\alpha>1$. We show that the wave operators extend to bounded operators on $L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ for…
