Decay estimates for one Aharonov-Bohm solenoid in a uniform magnetic field II: wave equation

Abstract

This is the second of a series of papers in which we investigate the decay estimates for dispersive equations with Aharonov-Bohm solenoids in a uniform magnetic field. In our first starting paper \cite{WZZ}, we have studied the Strichartz estimates for Schr\"odinger equation with one Aharonov-Bohm solenoid in a uniform magnetic field. The wave equation in this setting becomes more delicate since a difficulty is raised from the square root of the eigenvalue of the Schr\"odinger operator $H_{\alpha, B_0}$ so that we cannot directly construct the half-wave propagator. An independent interesting result concerning the Gaussian upper bounds of the heat kernel is proved by using two different methods. The first one is based on establishing Davies-Gaffney inequality in this setting and the second one is straightforward to construct the heat kernel (which efficiently captures the magnetic effects) based on the Schulman-Sunada formula. As byproducts, we prove optimal bounds for the heat kernel and show the Bernstein inequality and the square function inequality for Schr\"odinger operator with one Aharonov-Bohm solenoid in a uniform magnetic field.
