In this paper we disprove part of a conjecture of Lieb and Thirring concerning the best constant in their eponymous inequality. We prove that the best Lieb–Thirring constant when the eigenvalues of a Schrödinger operator $$-\Delta +V(x)$$ - Δ + V ( x ) are raised to the power $$\kappa$$ κ is never given by the one-bound state case when $$\kappa >\max (0,2-d/2)$$ κ > max ( 0 , 2 - d / 2 ) in space dimension $$d\ge 1$$ d ≥ 1 . When in addition \kappa \ge…

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

Lieb-Thirring inequalities and other functional inequalities for orthonormal systems
We review recent results on functional inequalities for systems of orthonormal functions. The key finding is that for various operators the orthonormality leads to a gain over a simple application of
