For $\\nu\\in[0, 1)$ we prove the lower bound of the form $|D^\\nu| \\geqslant C_\\nu\\sqrt{-\\Delta}$, where $C_\\nu$ is found explicitly and is better then in all previous works on the topic. In the critical case $\\nu =1$ we prove that for every $\\lambda\\in [0, 1)$ there exists $K_\\lambda >0$ such that the estimate $|D^{1}| \\geqslant K_\\lambda a^{\\lambda -1}(-\\Delta)^{\\lambda/2} -a^{-1}$ holds for all $a >0$. As applications we extend the range of coupling constants in the proof of the stability of the relativistic electron-positron field and obtain Cwickel-Lieb-Rozenblum and Lieb-Thirring type estimates on the negative eigenvalues of perturbed projected massless Coulomb-Dirac operators in the Furry picture. We also study the existence of a virtual level at zero for such projected operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-20T10:26:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47A63", "35P15" ], "keywords": [ "three-dimensional coulomb-dirac operator", "lower bound", "fractional laplacians", "applications", "relativistic electron-positron field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
