Abstract: We consider problems related to the asymptotic minimization of eigenvalues of anisotropic harmonic oscillators in the plane. In particular we study Riesz means of the eigenvalues and the trace of the corresponding heat kernels. The eigenvalue minimization problem can be reformulated as a lattice point problem where one wishes to maximize the number of points of $(mathbbN-frac12)imes(mathbbN-frac12)$ inside triangles with vertices $$ and $$ with respect to $$, for fixed $lambdageq0$. This lattice point formulation of the problem naturally leads to a family of generalized problems where one instead considers the shifted lattice $(mathbbN+sigma)imes(mathbbN+au)$, for $sigma,au>-1$. We show that the nature of these problems are rather different depending on the shift parameters, and in particular that the problem corresponding to harmonic oscillators, $sigma=au=-frac12$, is a critical case.

Review text

The aim of the paper are questions related to the minimization of eigenvalues of a special self-adjoint operator. Let \[ -\Delta + \beta x^2 + \beta^{-1}y^2 \] for any \(\beta > 0 \) denote the self-adjoint operator on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)\) and let \(\{ \lambda_k(\beta)\} \) denote the set of positive eigenvalues numbered in increasing order and each repeated according to its multiplicity. Then the main problem of the paper is the following: For which values of \(\beta\) is \(\min \{\lambda_k(\beta): \beta > 0\}\) realized? A lot of similar questions are given by \textit{A. Henrot} (ed.) [Shape optimization and spectral theory. Berlin: De Gruyter (2017; Zbl 1369.49004)]. In this context the paper deals with the Riesz means of the eigenvalues and the trace of the corresponding heat kernels.
