The W^(s,p)-boundedness of stationary wave operators for the Schr\"odinger operator with inverse-square potential

In this paper, we investigate the $W^{s,p}$-boundedness for stationary wave operators of the Schr\"odinger operator with inverse-square potential $$\mathcal L_a=-\Delta+\tfrac{a}{|x|^2}, \quad a\geq -\tfrac{(d-2)^2}{4},$$ in dimension $d\geq 2$. We construct the stationary wave operators in terms of integrals of Bessel functions and spherical harmonics, and prove that they are $W^{s,p}$-bounded for certain $p$ and $s$ which depend on $a$. As corollaries, we solve some open problems associated with the operator $\mathcal L_a$, which include the dispersive estimates and the local smoothing estimates in dimension $d\geq 2$. We also generalize some known results such as the uniform Sobolev inequalities, the equivalence of Sobolev norms and the Mikhlin multiplier theorem, to a larger range of indices. These results are important in the description of linear and nonlinear dynamics for dispersive equations with inverse-square potential.
