Laszlo Erdos, Michael Loss, Vitali Vougalter Diamagnetic behavior of sums of Dirichlet eigenvalues (35K, PlainTex) ABSTRACT. The Li-Yau semiclassical lower bound for the sum of the first N eigenvalues of the Dirichlet--Laplacian is extended to Dirichlet-- Laplacians with constant magnetic fields. Our method involves a new diamagnetic inequality for constant magnetic fields.
