We derive weighted versions of the Cwikel–Lieb–Rozenblum inequality for the Schrödinger operator in two dimensions with a nontrivial Aharonov–Bohm magnetic field. Our bounds capture the optimal dependence on the flux and we identify a class of long-range potentials that saturate our bounds in the strong coupling limit. We also extend our analysis to the two-dimensional Schrödinger operator acting on antisymmetric functions and obtain similar results.more » « less

Abstract We show that the Caffarelli–Kohn–Nirenberg (CKN) inequality holds with a remainder term that is quartic in the distance to the set of optimizers for the full parameter range of the Felli–Schneider (FS) curve. The fourth power is best possible. This is due to the presence of non-trivial zero modes of the Hessian of the deficit functional along the FS-curve. Following an iterated Bianchi–Egnell strategy, the heart of our proof is verifying a ‘secondary non-degeneracy condition’. Our result completes the stability analysis for the CKN-inequality to leading order started by Wei and Wu. Moreover, it is the first instance of degenerate stability for non-constant optimizers and for a non-compact domain.more » « less

We obtain Weyl type asymptotics for the quantised derivative \dj \mkern 1muf of a function f f from the homgeneous Sobolev space W ˙ d 1 ( R d ) \dot {W}^1_d(\mathbb {R}^d) on R d . \mathbb {R}^d. The asymptotic coefficient ‖ ∇ f ‖ L d ( R d ) \|\nabla f\|_{L_d(\mathbb R^d)} is equivalent to the norm of \dj \mkern 1muf in the principal ideal L d , ∞ , \mathcal {L}_{d,\infty }, thus, providing a non-asymptotic, uniform bound on the spectrum of \dj \mkern 1muf. Our methods are based on the C ∗ C^{\ast } -algebraic notion of the principal symbol mapping on R d \mathbb {R}^d , as developed recently by the last two authors and collaborators.more » « less

Abstract We are interested in sharp functional inequalities for the coherent state transform related to the Wehrl conjecture and its generalizations. This conjecture was settled by Lieb in the case of the Heisenberg group, Lieb and Solovej for SU(2), and Kulikov for SU(1, 1) and the affine group. In this article, we give alternative proofs and characterize, for the first time, the optimizers in the general case. We also extend the recent Faber-Krahn-type inequality for Heisenberg coherent states, due to Nicola and Tilli, to the SU(2) and SU(1, 1) cases. Finally, we prove a family of reverse Hölder inequalities for polynomials, conjectured by Bodmann.more » « less
