An approach without using Hardy inequality for the linear heat equation with singular potential

The aim of this paper is to employ a strategy known from fluid dynamics in order to provide results for the linear heat equation $u_{t}-Δu-V(x)u=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with singular potentials. We show well-posedness of solutions, without using Hardy inequality, in a framework based in the Fourier transform, namely $PM^{k}$-spaces. For arbitrary data $u_{0}\in PM^{k}$, the approach allows to compute an explicit smallness condition on $V$ for global existence in the case of $V$ with finitely many inverse square singularities. As a consequence, well-posedness of solutions is obtained for the case of the monopolar potential $V(x)=\fracλ{\left|x\right|^{2}}$ with $\left|λ\right|<λ_{\ast}=\frac{(n-2)^{2}}{4}$. This threshold value is the same one obtained for the global well-posedness of $L^{2}$-solutions by means of Hardy inequalities and energy estimates. Since there is no any inclusion relation between $L^{2}$ and $PM^{k}$, our results indicate that $λ_{\ast}$ is intrinsic of the PDE and independent of a particular approach. We also analyze the long time behavior of solutions and show there are infinitely many possible asymptotics characterized by the cells of a disjoint partition of the initial data class $PM^{k}$.
