Asymptotic distribution of negative eigenvalues for two dimensional Pauli operators with spherically symmetric magnetic fields (Q1277148)

The asymptotic distribution of the negative eigenvalues for a class of 2-D Pauli operators with smooth positive spherically symmetric variable magnetic fields, perturbed by smooth electric potentials, is studied. An asymptotic formula for the number of negative eigenvalues less than a specified value of the eigenvalue parameter is derived, based on the mini-max principle and the perturbation theory of singular number of compact operators, generalising results of previous analysis.
