This paper deals with the eigenvalue problem for the operator $L=-\Delta -x\cdot \nabla $ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We are interested in proving the existence of a set minimizing any eigenvalue $\lambda_k$ of $L$ under a suitable…
In this work we construct self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac operator associated to Hermitian matrix potentials with Coulomb decay and prove that the domain is maximal. The result is obtained by means of a Hardy-Dirac type inequality. In…
Let $(M, g, f, \tau)$ be a complete Ricci shrinker satisfying $\textrm{Ric}+\nabla^2f=\frac{g}{2\tau}$ and let $R$ denote its scalar curvature. For a confined function $V$ on $M$, we obtain a lower bound for the lowest eigenvalue of the…
