    Given a Lipschitz domain Ω\Omega in RN{\mathbb R} ^N and a nonnegative potential VV in Ω\Omega such that V(x)d(x,Ω)2V(x)\, d(x,\partial \Omega)^2 is bounded in Ω\Omega we study the fine regularity of boundary points with respect to the Schr\"odinger operator LV:=ΔVL_V:= \Delta -V in Ω\Omega . Using potential theoretic methods, several conditions equivalent to the fine regularity of zΩz \in \partial \Omega are established. The main result is a simple (explicit if Ω\Omega is smooth) necessary and sufficient condition involving the size of VV for zz to be finely regular. An essential intermediate result consists in a majorization of Aud(.,Ω)2dx\int_A | {\frac {u} {d(.,\partial \Omega)}} | ^2\, dx for uu positive harmonic in Ω\Omega and AΩA \subset \Omega . Conditions for almost everywhere regularity in a subset AA of Ω \partial \Omega are also given as well as an extension of the main results to a notion of fine L1L0{\mathcal L}_1 | {\mathcal L}_0-regularity, if Lj=LVj{\mathcal L}_j={\mathcal L}-V_j, V0,V1V_0,\, V_1 being two potentials, with V0V1V_0 \leq V_1 and L{\mathcal L} a second order elliptic operator.Comment: version 1. 23 pages version 3. 28 pages.
