Inequalities are derived for sums and quotients of eigenvalues of magnetic Schroedinger operators with non-negative electric potentials in domains. The bounds reflect the correct order of growth in the semi-classical limit.

We study functional and spectral properties of perturbations of the magnetic Laplace operator on the circle. This operator appears when considering the restriction to the unit circle of a two-dimensional Schr{\"o}dinger operator with the…

We extend the potential theory on almost minimzers from Part 1. We introduce so-called Hardy structures to study many classical operators using the tools from part 1. Furthermore, we show that for a naturally defined operator L, minimal…

We consider, in a smooth bounded multiply connected domain $\dom\subset\R^2$, the Ginzburg-Landau energy $\d E_\v(u)=1/2\int_\dom{|\n u|^2}+\frac{1}{4\v^2}\int_\dom{(1-|u|^2)^2}$ subject to prescribed degree conditions on each component of…

The threshold behaviour of negative eigenvalues for Schr\"{o}dinger operators of the type $$ H_\lambda=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+U(x)+\lambda\alpha_\lambda V(\alpha_\lambda x) $$ is considered. The potentials $U$ and $V$ are real-valued bounded…

We study Dirichlet forms defined by nonintegrable L\'evy kernels whose singularity at the origin can be weaker than that of any fractional Laplacian. We show some properties of the associated Sobolev type spaces in a bounded domain, such as…

In this paper we continue to advance the theory regarding the Riesz fractional gradient in the calculus of variations and fractional partial differential equations begun in an earlier work of the same name. In particular we here establish…

We consider the Nemytskii operators $u\to |u|$ and $u\to u^{\pm}$ in a bounded domain $\Omega$ with $C^2$ boundary. We give elementary proofs of the boundedness in $H^s(\Omega)$ with $0\le s<3/2$.

In this paper, we investigate the constrained minimization problem \begin{equation}\label{eq:0.1} e(a):=\inf_{\{u\in \mathcal{H},\|u\|_2^2=1\}}E_a(u), \end{equation} where the energy functional \begin{equation} \label{eq:0.2}…

We look for solutions to a fractional Schr\"odinger equation of the following form $$ (-\Delta)^{\alpha / 2} u + \left( V(x) - \frac{\mu}{|x|^{\alpha}} \right) u = f(x,u)-K(x)|u|^{q-2}u\hbox{ on }\mathbb{R}^N \setminus \{0\}, $$ where $V$…

Let $\Omega$ be a strongly Lipschitz domain of $\reel^n$. Consider an elliptic second order divergence operator $L$ (including a boundary condition on $\partial\Omega$) and define a Hardy space by imposing the non-tangential maximal…

We prove a Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequality for arbitrary domains \Omega\subset\R^N with a constant depending only on the dimension N\geq 3. In particular, for convex domains this settles a conjecture by Filippas, Maz'ya and Tertikas. As an…

In this work, we study the two following minimization problems for $r \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$, \begin{equation*} \begin{array}{ccc} S_{0,r}(\varphi)=\displaystyle\inf_{u\in H_{0}^{r}(\Omega)\,|u+\varphi\|_{L^{2^{*r}}}=1}\|u\|_{r}^{2}&…

This paper is concerned with emptyness of the essential spectrum, or equivalently compactness of the semigroup, for perturbations of selfadjoint operators that are bounded below (on an L^2-space). For perturbations by a (nonnegative)…
