We prove the uniform lower bound for the difference $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ between first two eigenvalues of the fractional Schr\"odinger operator, which is related to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the symmetric $\alpha$-stable process…

In this paper, we give an easy proof of the main results of Andrews and Clutterbuck's paper [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 24 (2011), no. 3, 899--916], which gives both a sharp lower bound for the spectral gap of a Schr\"oinger operator and a sharp…

We consider a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator $H^h=(-ih\nabla-\vec{A})^2$ with the Dirichlet boundary conditions in an open set $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^3$, where $h>0$ is a small parameter. We suppose that the minimal value $b_0$ of the…

Let $\Omega$ be some domain in the hyperbolic space $\Hn$ (with $n\ge 2$) and $S_1$ the geodesic ball that has the same first Dirichlet eigenvalue as $\Omega$. We prove the Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger conjecture for $\Hn$, i.e., that the…
