On the Fourth order Schrödinger equation in four dimensions: dispersive estimates and zero energy resonances

Abstract

We study the fourth order Schrödinger operator $H=(-\Delta {)}^2+V$ for a decaying potential $V$ in four dimensions. In particular, we show that the $t^{-1}$ decay rate holds in the $L^1\to L^{\infty }$ setting if zero energy is regular. Furthermore, if the threshold energies are regular then a faster decay rate of $t^{-1}(\log t{)}^{-2}$ is attained for large $t$, at the cost of logarithmic spatial weights. Zero is not regular for the free equation, hence the free evolution does not satisfy this bound due to the presence of a resonance at the zero energy. We provide a full classification of the different types of zero energy resonances and study the effect of each type on the time decay in the dispersive bounds.
