We consider the higher order Schr\"odinger operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+V(x)$ in $n$ dimensions with real-valued potential $V$ when $n>4m$, $m\in \mathbb N$. We adapt our recent results for $m>1$ to show that when $H$ has a threshold eigenvalue the wave operators are bounded on $L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ for the natural range $1\leq p<\frac{n}{2m}$ in both even and odd dimensions. The approach used works without distinguishing even and odd cases, and matches the range of boundedness in the classical case when $m=1$. The proof applies in the classical $m=1$ case as well and simplifies the argument., Comment: 23 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2207.14264

Let $c=(C_n)_{n\ge 0}$ be the Catalan sequence and $T$ a linear and bounded operator on a Banach space $X$ such $4T$ is a power-bounded operator. The Catalan generating function is defined by the following Taylor series, $$ C(T):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty C_nT^n. $$ Note that the operator $C(T)$ is a solution of the quadratic equation $TY^2-Y+I=0.$ In this paper we define powers of the Catalan generating function $C(T)$ in terms of the Catalan triangle numbers. We obtain new formulae which involve Catalan triangle numbers; the spectrum of $c^{\ast j}$ and the expression of $c^{-\ast j}$ for $j\ge 1$ in terms of Catalan polynomials ($\ast$ is the usual convolution product in sequences). In the last section, we give some particular examples to illustrate our results and some ideas to continue this research in the future., Comment: pp 18. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2401.16415

In this paper we study the solution of the quadratic equation $TY^2-Y+I=0$ where $T$ is a linear and bounded operator on a Banach space $X$. We describe the spectrum set and the resolvent operator of $Y$ in terms of operator $T$. In the case that $ 4T$ is a power-bounded operator, we show that a solution (named Catalan generating function) is given by the Taylor series $$ C(T):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty C_nT^n, $$ where the sequence $(C_n)_{n\ge 0}$ is the well-known Catalan numbers. We express $C(T)$ by means of an integral representation which involves the resolvent operator $(\lambda-T)^{-1}$. Some particular examples to illustrate our results are given, in particular an iterative method defined for square matrices $T$ which involves Catalan numbers., Comment: pp 18

The complexity of simulating the out-of-equilibrium evolution of local operators in the Heisenberg picture is governed by the operator entanglement, which grows linearly in time for generic non-integrable systems, leading to an exponential increase in computational resources. A promising approach to simplify this challenge involves discarding parts of the operator and focusing on a subspace formed by "light" Pauli strings - strings with few Pauli matrices - as proposed by Rakovszki et al. [PRB 105, 075131 (2022)]. In this work, we investigate whether this strategy can be applied to quenches starting from homogeneous product states. For ergodic dynamics, these initial states grant access to a wide range of equilibration temperatures. By concentrating on the desired matrix elements and retaining only the portion of the operator that contains Pauli strings parallel to the initial state, we uncover a complex scenario. In some cases, the light Pauli strings suffice to describe the dynamics, enabling efficient simulation with current algorithms. However, in other cases, heavier strings become necessary, pushing computational demands beyond our current capabilities. We analyze this behavior using a newly introduced measure of complexity, the Operator Weight Entropy, which we compute for different operators across most points on the Bloch sphere.
