Eigenvalue bounds in the gaps of Schrödinger operators and Jacobi matrices

Abstract

We consider C = A + B where A is selfadjoint with a gap (a, b) in its spectrum and B is (relatively) compact. We prove a general result allowing B of indefinite sign and apply it to obtain a (δV)^(d/2) bound for perturbations of suitable periodic Schrödinger operators and a (not quite) Lieb–Thirring bound for perturbations of algebro-geometric almost periodic Jacobi matrices.
