Keller–Lieb–Thirring inequalities for Schrödinger operators on cylinders
[Inégalités de Keller–Lieb–Thirring pour des opérateurs de Schrödinger sur des cylindres]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 353 (2015) no. 9, pp. 813-818.

Cette note est consacrée à des estimations spectrales de Keller–Lieb–Thirring pour des opérateurs de Schrödinger sur des cylindres infinis : la valeur absolue de l'état fondamental est bornée par une fonction d'une norme du potentiel. Il est montré que les potentiels optimaux de petite norme ne dépendent que d'une seule variable : il s'agit d'un résultat de symétrie. La preuve provient d'un argument de perturbation qui repose sur des résultats de rigidité récents pour des équations elliptiques non linéaires sur des cylindres. À l'inverse, les potentiels optimaux de grande norme qui ne dépendent que d'une seule variable sont instables : cela fournit un résultat de brisure de symétrie. La valeur optimale qui sépare les deux régimes est établie dans le cas du produit d'une sphère et d'une droite.

This note is devoted to Keller–Lieb–Thirring spectral estimates for Schrödinger operators on infinite cylinders: the absolute value of the ground state level is bounded by a function of a norm of the potential. Optimal potentials with small norms are shown to depend on a single variable: this is a symmetry result. The proof is a perturbation argument based on recent rigidity results for nonlinear elliptic equations on cylinders. Conversely, optimal single variable potentials with large norms must be unstable: this provides a symmetry breaking result. The optimal threshold between the two regimes is established in the case of the product of a sphere by a line.
