On the remainder term of the Berezin inequality on a convex domain

We study the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with $n\geq 2$. In particular, we generalize and improve upper bounds for the Riesz means of order $σ\geq 3/2$ established in an article by Geisinger, Laptev and Weidl. This is achieved by refining estimates fo...

Description
Summary:We study the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with $n\geq 2$. In particular, we generalize and improve upper bounds for the Riesz means of order $σ\geq 3/2$ established in an article by Geisinger, Laptev and Weidl. This is achieved by refining estimates for a negative second term in the Berezin inequality. The obtained remainder term reflects the correct order of growth in the semi-classical limit and depends only on the measure of the boundary of the domain. We emphasize that such an improvement is for general $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ not possible and was previously known to hold only for planar convex domains satisfying certain geometric conditions. As a corollary we obtain lower bounds for the individual eigenvalues $λ_k$, which for a certain range of $k$ improves the Li--Yau inequality for convex domains. However, for convex domains one can use different methods to obtain even stronger such lower bounds. : Revised and accepted version. 13 pages
