We show that generalized Gaussian estimates for selfadjoint semigroups (e-tA)t ∈ R+ on L2 imply Lp boundedness of Riesz means and other regularizations of the Schrödinger group (eitA)t ∈ R. This generalizes results restricted to semigroups with a heat kernel, which are due to Sjöstrand, Alexopoulos and more recently Carron, Coulhon and Ouhabaz. This generalization is crucial for elliptic operators A that are of higher order or have singular lower order terms since, in general, their semigroups fail to have a heat kernel.
