We give a form-perturbation theory by singular potentials for scalar elliptic operators on L 2 ( R d ) of order 2 m with Hölder continuous coefficients. The form-bounds are obtained from an L 1 functional analytic approach which takes advantage of both the existence of m -gaussian kernel estimates and the holomorphy of the semigroup in L 1 ( R d ) . We also explore the (local) Kato class potentials in terms of (local) weak compactness properties. Finally, we extend the results to elliptic systems and singular matrix potentials. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Semigroup applications everywhere’.

Abstract Dedicated to the memory of Kazumasa Kuwada. Let $(X,\mathfrak{d},{\mathfrak{m}})$ be an $\textrm{RCD}^*(K,N)$ space for some $K\in{\mathbb{R}}$, $N\in [1,\infty )$, and let $H$ be the self-adjoint Laplacian induced by the underlying Cheeger form. Given $\alpha \in [0,1]$, we introduce the $\alpha$-Kato class of potentials on $(X,\mathfrak{d},{\mathfrak{m}})$, and given a potential $V:X\to{\mathbb{R}}$ in this class, we denote with $H_V$ the natural self-adjoint realization of the Schrödinger operator $H+V$ in $L^2(X,{\mathfrak{m}})$. We use Brownian coupling methods and perturbation theory to prove that for all $t>0$, there exists an explicitly given constant $A(V,K,\alpha ,t)<\infty$, such that for all $\Psi \in L^{\infty }(X,{\mathfrak{m}})$, $x,y\in X$ one has $$\begin{align*}\big|e^{-tH_V}\Psi(x)-e^{-tH_V}\Psi(y)\big|\leq A(V,K,\alpha,t) \|\Psi\|_{L^{\infty}}\mathfrak{d}(x,y)^{\alpha}.\end{align*}$$In particular, all $L^{\infty }$-eigenfunctions of $H_V$ are globally $\alpha$-Hölder continuous. This result applies to multi-particle Schrödinger semigroups and, by the explicitness of the Hölder constants, sheds some light into the geometry of such operators.

AbstractUsing some potential theory tools and the Schauder fixed point theorem, we prove the existence of positive bounded continuous solutions with a precise global behavior for the semilinear elliptic system Δu = p(x)u α ν r in domains D of ℝn, n ≥ 3, with compact boundary (bounded or unbounded) subject to some Dirichlet conditions, where α ≥ 1, β ≥ 1, r ≥ 0, s ≥ 0 and the potentials p, q are nonnegative and belong to the Kato class K(D).
