Bound on the number of negative eigenvalues of two-dimensional Schrödinger operators on domains

Abstract

A fundamental result of Solomyak says that the number of negative eigenvalues of a Schrödinger operator on a two-dimensional domain is bounded from above by a constant times a certain Orlicz norm of the potential. Here it is shown that in the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions the constant in this bound can be chosen independently of the domain.
