Abstract

This paper concerns the three-dimensional Pauli operator P=(σ·(p-A(x)))2+V(x) with a non-homogeneous magnetic field B=curl A. The following Lieb-Thirring type inequality for the moment of negative eigenvalues is established, ∑λj<0λj≤C1R3V(x)5/2-dx+C2∫R3[bp(x)]3/2V(x)-dx where p>3/2 and bp(x) is the Lp average of B over a certain cube centered at x with a side length scaling like B-1/2. We also show that, ifBhas a constant direction, ∑λj<0λjγ≤C1,γR3V(x)γ+3/2-dx+C2,γR3bp(x)V(x)γ+1/2-dx where γ>1/2 and p>1.
