Abstract:
We prove smoothing estimates for Schr\"odinger equations $i\partial_t
\phi+\partial_x (a(x) \partial_x \phi) =0$ with $a(x)\in \mathrm{BV}$,
the space of functions with bounded total variation, real, positive
and bounded from below. We then bootstrap these estimates to obtain
optimal Strichartz and maximal function estimates, all of which turn
out to be identical to the constant coefficient case. We also provide
counterexamples showing $a\in \mathrm{BV}$ to be a minimal 
requirement.
