Sharp Polynomial Velocity Decay Bounds for Multidimensional Periodic Schrödinger Operators

Abstract: We investigate periodic Schr\"odinger operators in arbitrary dimensions in the large coupling regime. Our results establish that both the Lieb--Robinson velocity and the asymptotic velocity decay at an inverse polynomial rate in the coupling, with the precise exponent determined by the period of the underlying potential. In particular, we obtain sharp polynomial decay rates that capture the precise dependence on the periodic structure.
