Abstract
Abstract. An Lp operator norm estimate of the difference between the Kac operator and the Schrödinger semigroup is proved and used to give a variant of the Trotter product formula for Schrödinger operators in the Lp operator norm. The method of the proof is probabilistic based on the Feynman-Kac formula. The problem is discussed in the relativistic as well as nonrelativistic case.
