Abstract

Consider the Schr\"odinger operator LV=Δ+V \mathcal L^V=-\Delta+V on Rd\R^d, where V:Rd[0,)V:\R^d\to [0,\infty) is a nonnegative and locally bounded potential on Rd\R^d so that for all xRdx\in \R^d with x1|x|\ge 1, c1g(x)V(x)c2g(x)c_1g(|x|)\le V(x)\le c_2g(|x|) with some constants c1,c2>0c_1,c_2>0 and a nondecreasing and strictly positive function g:[0,)[1,+)g:[0,\infty)\to [1,+\infty) that satisfies g(2r)c0g(r)g(2r)\le c_0 g(r) for all r>0r>0 and limrg(r)=.\lim_{r\to \infty} g(r)=\infty. We establish global in time and qualitatively sharp bounds for the heat kernel of the associated Schr\"{o}dinger semigroup by the probabilistic method. In particular, we can present global in space and time two-sided bounds of heat kernel even when the Schr\"{o}dinger semigroup is not intrinsically ultracontractive. Furthermore, two-sided estimates for the corresponding Green's functions are also obtained.
