Abstract: We derive quantitative bounds for eigenvalues of complex perturbations of the indefinite Laplacian on the real line. Our results substantially improve existing results even for real-valued potentials. For L1-potentials, we obtain optimal spectral enclosures which accommodate also embedded eigenvalues, while our result for Lp-potentials yield sharp spectral bounds on the imaginary parts of eigenvalues of the perturbed operator for all pin[1,infty). The sharpness of the results are demonstrated by means of explicit examples.


The paper shows quantitative bounds for eigenvalues of complex perturbations of indefinite operators. In particular, the authors consider the operator \[H_V:=\operatorname{sgn}(x)(-\partial_x^2+V)\quad \text{ in }\quad L^2(\mathbb R),\] where \(\operatorname{sgn}\) is the sign function and \(V\) is a potential in an \(L^p\) space. If \(V\in L^1\), then it is proved that every eigenvalue \(\lambda\) of \(H_V\) satisfies that \[\sqrt{2}|\lambda|\leq \sqrt{|\lambda|+|Re(\lambda)|}\ \|V\|_{L^1(\mathbb R)}.\] This bound is shown to be sharp by explicit examples and it improves quantitatively previously known bounds. Other bounds for potentials in \(L^p\) are also presented and yield sharp spectral bounds on the imaginary parts of eigenvalues for all \(p\in[1,\infty)\).
