The Sobolev inequalities on real hyperbolic spaces and eigenvalue bounds for Schrödinger operators with complex potentials

Abstract

We prove the uniform estimates for the resolvent ${(Δ - α)}^{- 1}$ as a map from $L^{q}$ to $L^{q^{'}}$ on real hyperbolic space $ℍ^{n}$ , where $α \in ℂ ∖ [{(n - 1)}^{2} ∕ 4, \infty)$ and $2 n ∕ (n + 2) \leq q < 2$ . In contrast with analogous results on Euclidean space $ℝ^{n}$ , the exponent $q$ here can be arbitrarily close to $2$ . This striking improvement is due to two non-Euclidean features of hyperbolic space: the Kunze–Stein phenomenon and the exponential decay of the spectral measure. In addition, we apply this result to the study of eigenvalue bounds of the Schrödinger operator with a complex potential. The improved Sobolev inequality results in a better long-range eigenvalue bound on $ℍ^{n}$ than that on $ℝ^{n}$ .
