Let w be some Ap weight and enjoy reverse Hölder inequality, and let L=−Δ+V be a Schrödinger operator on Rn, where V∈Lloc1(Rn) is a non-negative function on Rn. In this article we introduce weighted Hardy spaces HL,w1(Rn) associated to L in terms of the area function characterization, and prove their atomic characters. We show that the Riesz transform ∇L−1/2 associated to L is bounded on Lwp(Rn) for 1
