Semiclassical eigenvalue estimates under magnetic steps

Wafaa Assaad, Bernard Helffer and Ayman Kachmar

Vol. 17 (2024), No. 2, 535–585
Abstract

We establish accurate eigenvalue asymptotics and, as a by-product, sharp estimates of the splitting between two consecutive eigenvalues for the Dirichlet magnetic Laplacian with a nonuniform magnetic field having a jump discontinuity along a smooth curve. The asymptotics hold in the semiclassical limit, which also corresponds to a large magnetic field limit and is valid under a geometric assumption on the curvature of the discontinuity curve.
