CLR-type inequality on a suitable smooth manifold (Q310493)

Let \(B(0, 1)\) be the open unit ball in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) centered at \(0\), \(X := \mathbb{R} \backslash B(0, 1)\); \({\mathcal G}(f) = \{ (x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R} | y = f(x) \}\) with \(f\) being a smooth function, the volume element of \({\mathcal G}(f)\) is \(d \mu_g = \sqrt {1 + | \nabla f(x) |^2} dx\); \({\mathcal G}(f)\mid_X : = \{ (x, f(|x|)) \in X \times \mathbb{R}\), with spherical coordinates, on \({\mathcal G}(f)\mid_X\), \(d \mu_g = \sqrt{1+[f'(r)]^2} r^{n-1} dr d \sigma_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}} (\omega)\) with \(r \in [1, \infty)\), \(d \sigma_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}} (\cdot)\) being the surface element over the \((n-1)\)-dimensional unit sphere \(\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\). For a real potential \(V \in L_{1,loc} ({\mathcal G}(f)\mid_X, d \mu_g)\), \(V_+ := \max (V, 0) \in Y_f\) with \(Y_f = L_1 \bigl ([1, \infty), \sqrt{1+[f'(r)]^2}r^{n-1} dr \bigr ) \otimes L_\infty (\mathbb{S}^{n-1}, d \sigma_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}})\). This article provides a CLR-type inequality to bound the number of negative eigenvalues of a class of Schrödinger operators \(H_V\) in terms of \(\|V_+\|_{Y_f}\), where \(H_V = -\triangle_{g,f} - V\) defined in \({\mathcal L} := L_2\bigl [1, \infty), \sqrt{1+[f'(r)]^2} r^{n-1}dr \bigr )\otimes L_2 (\mathbb{S}^{n-1}, d \sigma_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}})\), and \(-\triangle_{g,f}\) is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on \({\mathcal G}(f)\mid_X\).
