Spectral estimates on the sphere

Jean Dolbeault, Maria J. Esteban and Ari Laptev

Vol. 7 (2014), No. 2, 435–460
Abstract

In this article we establish optimal estimates for the first eigenvalue of Schrödinger operators on the d-dimensional unit sphere. These estimates depend on Lp norms of the potential, or of its inverse, and are equivalent to interpolation inequalities on the sphere. We also characterize a semiclassical asymptotic regime and discuss how our estimates on the sphere differ from those on the Euclidean space.
