Abstract:
\begin{abstract} I will present results obtained jointly with R. Schilling (Dresden) and P. Sztonyk (Wroclaw) on the spatial decay of resolvent kernels for a broad class of non-local L\`evy operators, as well as on eigenfunctions of the associated Schr\odinger operators [B]. Our results lead to general theorems concerning L\`evy measures with exponential and subexponential decay at infinity. In particular, we identify sharp qualitative transitions in these decay properties, thereby extending classical results of Carmona, Masters, and Simon [A] for the fractional Laplacian (subexponential decay) and relativistic operators (exponential decay). Moreover, these transitions in eigenfunction decay admit a natural energetic interpretation, which will also be discussed during the talk. References: [A] R. Carmona, W. C. Masters, and B.
