Local time decay for fractional Schr\"odinger operators with slowly decaying potentials and a weaker Agmon type estimate in a classically forbidden region

Abstract

A local time decay estimate of fractional Schr\"odinger operators with slowly decaying positive potentials are studied. It is shown that its resolvent is smooth near zero and the time propagator has fast local time decay which is very different from very short-range cases. The key element of the proof is to establish a weaker Agmon estimate for a classically forbidden region using exotic symbol calculus. As a byproduct, we prove that the Riesz operator is a pseudodifferential operator with an exotic symbol.
