Abstract

The Berezin--Li--Yau and the Kr\"oger inequalities show that Riesz means of order 1\geq 1 of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a domain Ω\Omega of finite measure are bounded in terms of their semiclassical limit expressions. We show that these inequalities can be improved by a multiplicative factor that depends only on the dimension and the product ΛΩ1/d\sqrt\Lambda |\Omega|^{1/d}, where Λ\Lambda is the eigenvalue cut-off parameter in the definition of the Riesz mean. The same holds when Ω1/d|\Omega|^{1/d} is replaced by a generalized inradius of Ω\Omega. Finally, we show similar inequalities in two dimensions in the presence of a constant magnetic field.
