A family of anisotropic integral operators and behavior of its maximal eigenvalue

Abstract: We study the family of compact integral operators

in

L^{2} (m a t h b b R)

with the kernel K_�eta(x, y) = frac{1}{pi}frac{1}{1 + (x-y)^2 + �eta^2Theta(x, y)}, depending on the parameter

, where

T h e t a (x, y)

is a symmetric non-negative homogeneous function of degree

g a m m a g e 1

. The main result is the following asymptotic formula for the maximal eigenvalue

of

: M_�eta = 1 - lambda_1 �eta^{frac{2}{gamma+1}} + o(�eta^{frac{2}{gamma+1}}), �eta o 0, where

l a m b d a_{1}

is the lowest eigenvalue of the operator

m a t h b f A = | d / d x | + T h e t a (x, x) / 2

. A central role in the proof is played by the fact that

is positivity improving. The case

T h e t a (x, y) = (x^{2} + y^{2})^{2}

has been studied earlier in the literature as a simplified model of high-temperature superconductivity.
