Abstract

The Berezin–Li–Yau and the Kröger inequalities show that Riesz means of order 1 of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a domain Ω of finite measure are bounded in terms of their semiclassical limit expressions. We show that these inequalities can be improved by a multiplicative factor that depends only on the dimension and the product Λ∣Ω1/d, where Λ is the eigenvalue cut-off parameter in the definition of the Riesz mean. The same holds when ∣Ω1/d is replaced by a generalized inradius of Ω. Finally, we show similar inequalities in two dimensions in the presence of a constant magnetic field.
