Abstract

This paper concerns the three-dimensional Pauli operatorP=(σ·(p-A(x)))2+V(x)with a nonhomogeneous magnetic fieldB=curlA. The following Lieb-Thirring type inequality for the moment of negative eigenvalues is established as∑λj<0λj≤C1R3V(x)5/2-dx+C2R3[bp(x)]3/2V(x) -dx,wherep>3/2 andbp(x) is theLpaverage of B over certain cube centered atxwith a side length scaling like B-1/2. We also show that, ifBhas a constant direction,∑λj<0λj≤C 1,λR3V(x) γ+3/2-dx+C2,γR 3bp(x)V(x)γ+1/2 -dx,whereγ>1/2 andp>1.
