  1. Refined Semiclassical Asymptotics for Fractional Powers of the Laplace Operator.

    Abstract

    We consider the fractional Laplacian on a domain and investigate the
    asymptotic behavior of its eigenvalues. Extending methods from semi-classical
    analysis we are able to prove a two-term formula for the sum of eigenvalues
    with the leading (Weyl) term given by the volume and the subleading term by the
    surface area. Our result is valid under very weak assumptions on the regularity
    of the boundary.

  2. Two-term spectral asymptotics for the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain.

    Abstract

    Let -\Delta denote the Dirichlet Laplace operator on a bounded open set in
    \mathbb{R}^d. We study the sum of the negative eigenvalues of the operator -h^2
    \Delta - 1 in the semiclassical limit h \to 0+. We give a new proof that yields
    not only the first term of the asymptotic formula but also the second term
    involving the surface area of the boundary of the set. The proof is valid under
    weak smoothness assumptions on the boundary.

  3. Universal Bounds for Traces of the Dirichlet Laplace Operator.

    Abstract

    We derive upper bounds for the trace of the heat kernel $Z(t) = \sum_{k \in
    \mathbb{N}} e^{-\lambda_k t}$, where $(\lambda_k)_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$ denote
    the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplace operator in an open set $\Omega
    \subset \R^d$, $d \geq 2$. The result improves an inequality of Kac and is
    applicable to any open set with finite volume. The bound decays exponentially
    as $t$ tends to infinity and it contains the sharp first term and a correction
    term reflecting the properties of the short time asymptotics of $Z(t)$.
