AbstractWe consider the equation Δu = Vu in the half-space ${\open R}_ + ^d $, d ⩾ 2 where V has certain periodicity properties. In particular, we show that such equations cannot have non-trivial superexponentially decaying solutions. As an application this leads to a new proof for the absolute continuity of the spectrum of particular periodic Schrödinger operators. The equation Δu = Vu is studied as part of a broader class of elliptic evolution equations.

We consider time-dependent perturbations by unbounded potentials of Schrödinger operators with scalar and magnetic potentials which are almost critical for the selfadjointness. We show that the corresponding time-dependent Schrödinger equations generate a unique unitary propagator if perturbations of scalar and magnetic potentials are differentiable with respect to the time variable and they increase at the spatial infinity at most quadratically and at most linearly, respectively, where both have mild local singularities. We use time-dependent gauge transforms and apply Kato's abstract theorem on evolution equations.
