Weyl Law on Asymptotically Euclidean Manifolds

Abstract

AbstractWe study the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalue counting function for self-adjoint elliptic linear operators defined through classical weighted symbols of order (1, 1), on an asymptotically Euclidean manifold. We first prove a two-term Weyl formula, improving previously known remainder estimates. Subsequently, we show that under a geometric assumption on the Hamiltonian flow at infinity, there is a refined Weyl asymptotics with three terms. The proof of the theorem uses a careful analysis of the flow behaviour in the corner component of the boundary of the double compactification of the cotangent bundle. Finally, we illustrate the results by analysing the operator $$Q=(1+|x|^2)(1-\varDelta )$$ Q = ( 1 + | x | 2 ) ( 1 - Δ ) on $$\mathbb {R}^d$$ R d .
