The Lieb-Thirring inequalities give a bound on the negative eigenvalues of a Schr\"odinger operator in terms of an $L^p$ norm of the potential. This is dual to a bound on the $H^1$-norms of a system of orthonormal functions. Here we extend these to analogous inequalities for perturbations of the Fermi sea of non-interacting particles, i.e., for perturbations of the continuous spectrum of the Laplacian by local potentials.

The state of the Lieb--Thirring conjecture
Estimates on the bound states of a Hamiltonian are of importance in quantum mechanics. For a Schrödinger operator −∆ + V on L(R) with decaying potential V : R → R of particular interest are bounds on
