Abstract: We consider the Schr"odinger operator $-Delta+V$ for negative potentials $V$, on open sets with positive first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian. We show that the spectrum of $-Delta+V$ is positive, provided that $V$ is greater than a negative multiple of the logarithmic gradient of the solution to the Lane-Emden equation $-Deltau=u^{q-1}$ (for some $1leq<2$). In this case, the ground state energy of $-Delta+V$ is greater than the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet-Laplacian, up to an explicit multiplicative factor. This is achieved by means of suitable Hardy-type inequalities, that we prove in this paper.
