We consider a twisted quantum wave guide, and are interested in the spectral analysis of the associated Dirichlet Laplacian H. We show that if the derivative of rotation angle decays slowly enough at infinity, then there is an infinite sequence of discrete eigenvalues lying below the infimum of the essential spectrum of H, and obtain the main asymptotic term of this sequence.
We consider a Schrodinger hamiltonian $H(A,a)$ with scaling critical and time independent external electromagnetic potential, and assume that the angular operator $L$ associated to $H$ is positive definite. We prove the following: if $|e^{-itH(A,a)}|_{L^1to L^infty}lesssim t^{-n/2}$, then $ ||x|^{-g(n)}e^{-itH(A,a)}|x|^{-g(n)}|_{L^1to L^infty}lesssim t^{-n/2-g(n)}$, $g(n)$ being a positive number, explicitly depending on the ground level of $L$ and the space dimension $n$. We prove similar results also for the heat semi-group generated by $H(A,a)$.
We prove various estimates for the first eigenvalue of the magnetic Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain in two dimensions. When the magnetic field is constant, we give lower and upper bounds in terms of geometric quantities of the domain. We furthermore prove a lower bound for the first magnetic Neumann eigenvalue in the case of constant field.
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.
In this paper we study the best constant in a Hardy inequality for the p-Laplace operator on convex domains with Robin boundary conditions. We show, in particular, that the best constant equals $((p-1)/p)^p$ whenever Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on a subset of the boundary of non-zero measure. We also discuss some generalizations to non-convex domains.
We consider the p-Laplacian in R^d perturbed by a weakly coupled potential. We calculate the asymptotic expansions of the lowest eigenvalue of such an operator in the weak coupling limit separately for p>d and p=d and discuss the connection with Sobolev interpolation inequalities.
In this paper we study the eigenvalue sums of Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded domains. Among our results we establish an improvement of the Li-Yau bound in the presence of a constant magnetic field.
Consider a regular $d$-dimensional metric tree $Gamma$ with root $o$. Define the Schroedinger operator $-Delta - V$, where $V$ is a non-negative, symmetric potential, on $Gamma$, with Neumann boundary conditions at $o$. Provided that $V$ decays like $x^{-gamma}$ at infinity, where $1 < gamma leq d leq 2, gamma eq 2$, we will determine the weak coupling behavior of the bottom of the spectrum of $-Delta - V$. In other words, we will describe the asymptotical behavior of $inf sigma(-Delta - alpha V)$ as $alpha to 0+$
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.
We find sharp conditions on the growth of a rooted regular metric tree such that the Neumann Laplacian on the tree satisfies a Hardy inequality. In particular, we consider homogeneous metric trees. Moreover, we show that a non-trivial Aharonov-Bohm magnetic field leads to a Hardy inequality on a loop graph.
