Eigenvalue bounds for Schrödinger operators with complex potentials

Abstract: We show that the absolute values of non-positive eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials can be bounded in terms of L_p-norms of the potential. This extends an inequality of Abramov, Aslanyan, and Davies to higher dimensions and proves a conjecture by Laptev and Safronov. Our main ingredient are the uniform Sobolev inequalities of Kenig, Ruiz, and Sogge.
