We give a stochastic proof of the finite approximability of a class of Schrödinger operators over a local field, thereby completing a program of establishing in a non-Archimedean setting corresponding results and methods from the Archimedean (real) setting. A key ingredient of our proof is to show that Brownian motion over a local field can be obtained as a limit of random walks over finite grids. Also, we prove a Feynman–Kac formula for the finite systems, and show that the propagator at the finite level converges to the propagator at the infinite level.

Path integral representations for generalized Schrödinger operators obtained under a class of Bernstein functions of the Laplacian are established. The one-to-one correspondence of Bernstein functions with Lévy subordinators is used, thereby the role of Brownian motion entering the standard Feynman–Kac formula is taken here by subordinate Brownian motion. As specific examples, fractional and relativistic Schrödinger operators with magnetic field and spin are covered. Results on self-adjointness of these operators are obtained under conditions allowing for singular magnetic fields and singular external potentials as well as arbitrary integer and half-integer spin values. This approach also allows to propose a notion of generalized Kato class for which an Lp-Lq bound of the associated generalized Schrödinger semigroup is shown. As a consequence, diamagnetic and energy comparison inequalities are also derived.
