Lieb-Thirring bounds for Melik-Adamyan canonical Hamiltonians
Abstract
We study a class of positive matrix Hamiltonians arising from the canonical differential expressions of Melik-Adamyan and appearing in the appendix of Alpay--Gohberg. Let and be self-adjoint involutions on satisfying , and let satisfy . For we consider in the weighted space . A locally absolutely continuous -unitary gauge representing reduces this expression to the free massive Dirac operator plus the Hermitian coefficient Whenever this coefficient belongs to , the corresponding self-adjoint realization, including its operator domain, is independent of the chosen representing gauge. Minimizing over the gauge fibre defines an intrinsic energy. A two-sided Birman--Schwinger decoupling, combined with a truncated pseudo-relativistic estimate proved here, gives a -moment bound for all eigenvalues in the gap in terms of this energy. The Dirac estimate applies to arbitrary Hermitian matrix coefficients in and requires no sign condition. On the half-line we treat every self-adjoint Lagrangian boundary condition. Two reflection-compatible conditions require no endpoint correction, while an arbitrary condition contributes at most . At zero mass, the optimal-gauge energy is computed explicitly in terms of . For a scalar hyperbolic-rotation family the massive gauge minimization reduces exactly to a one-dimensional phase functional. We prove existence of a minimizer in the principal phase sector and give an explicit trial phase that strictly and quantitatively improves the positive lift whenever the corresponding first variation is nonzero.
