Limiting absorption principle for discrete Schrödinger operators with a Wigner-von Neumann potential and a slowly decaying potential

We consider discrete Schrödinger operators on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ for which the perturbation consists of the sum of a long-range type potential and a Wigner-von Neumann type potential. Still working in a framework of weighted Mourre theory, we improve the limiting absorption principle (LAP) that was obtained in [Ma1]. To our knowledge, this is a new result even in the one-dimensional case. The improvement consists in a weakening of the assumptions on the long-range potential and better LAP weights. The improvement relies only on the fact that the generator of dilations (which serves as conjugate operator) is bounded from above by the position operator. To exploit this, Loewner's theorem on operator monotone functions is invoked
