Geometrical Versions of improved Berezin-Li-Yau Inequalities

We study the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplace operator on an arbitrary bounded, open set in $\R^d$, $d \geq 2$. In particular, we derive upper bounds on Riesz means of order $\sigma \geq 3/2$, that improve the sharp Berezin inequality by a negative second term. This remainder term depends on geometric properties of the boundary of the set and reflects the correct order of growth in the semi-classical limit. Under certain geometric conditions these results imply new lower bounds on individual eigenvalues, which improve the Li-Yau inequality.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur

Semiclassical bounds in magnetic bottles

The aim of the paper is to derive spectral estimates into several classes of magnetic systems. They include three-dimensional regions with Dirichlet boundary as well as a particle in $\mathbb{R}^3$ confined by a local change of the magnetic field. We establish two-dimensional Berezin-Li-Yau and Lieb-Thirring-type bounds in the presence of magnetic fields and, using them, get three-dimensional estimates for the eigenvalue moments of the corresponding magnetic Laplacians.Comment: 35 pages, no figure

Spectral estimates for two-dimensional Schroedinger operators with application to quantum layers

A logarithmic type Lieb-Thirring inequality for two-dimensional Schroedinger operators is established. The result is applied to prove spectral estimates on trapped modes in quantum layers

Two dimensional Berezin-Li-Yau inequalities with a correction term

We improve the Berezin-Li-Yau inequality in dimension two by adding a positive correction term to its right-hand side. It is also shown that the asymptotical behaviour of the correction term is almost optimal. This improves a previous result by Melas.Comment: 6 figure
