Weighted CLR type bounds in two dimensions

Abstract

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.
