Abstract: We consider the eigenvalues of the magnetic Laplacian on a bounded domain $Omega$ of $mathbb{R}^2$ with uniform magnetic field $$ and magnetic Neumann boundary conditions. We find upper and lower bounds for the ground state energy $lambd{a}_1$ and we provide semiclassical estimates in the spirit of Kr"oger for the first Riesz mean of the eigenvalues. We also discuss upper bounds for the first eigenvalue for non-constant magnetic fields $$ on a simply connected domain in a Riemannian surface. In particular: we prove the upper bound $$ for a general plane domain, and the upper bound $$ for a variable magnetic field when $Omega$ is simply connected. For smooth domains, we prove a lower bound of $lambd{a}_1$ depending only on the intensity of the magnetic field $$ and the rolling radius of the domain. The estimates on the Riesz mean imply an upper bound for the averages of the first $k$ eigenvalues which is sharp when $koinfty$ and consists of the semiclassical limit $dfrac2pik|Omega|$ plus an oscillating term. We also construct several examples, showing the importance of the topology: in particular we show that an arbitrarily small tubular neighborhood of a generic simple closed curve has lowest eigenvalue bounded away from zero, contrary to the case of a simply connected domain of small area, for which $lambd{a}_1$ is always small.

Review text

The authors derive upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the magnetic Laplacian on a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^2\). A constant magnetic field and magnetic Neumann boundary conditions are considered. For the ground state, the authors prove a universal upper bound that is strict and given by the intensity of the magnetic field. A new lower bound for a smooth domain is given as well. Semiclassical estimates on eigenvalue averages which are asymptotically sharp are also obtained. For variable magnetic fields, upper bounds for the ground state eigenvalue are given on a Riemann surface. Finally, several examples are provided, such as the case of domains with small width.
