On Landis conjecture for positive Schrödinger operators on graphs

Abstract

In this note we study Landis conjecture for positive Schr\"odinger operators on graphs. More precisely, we give a decay criterion that ensures when $ \mathcal{H} $-harmonic functions for a positive Schr\"odinger operator $ \mathcal{H} $ with potentials bounded from above by $ 1 $ are trivial. We then specifically look at the special cases of $ \mathbb{Z}^{d} $ and regular trees for which we get explicit decay criterion. Moreover, we consider the fractional analogue of Landis conjecture on $ \mathbb{Z}^{d} $. Our approach relies on the discrete version of Liouville comparison principle which is also proved in this article.
