Ivrii's generic spectral asymptotics conjecture for even-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operators

About 20 years old · traced to

Let dd be even, let gjkg^{jk} be the metric coefficients, let (Vj)(V_j) be the magnetic vector potential with magnetic intensity matrix (Fjk)(F_{jk}), and let VV be the electric potential. Write EMW{\mathcal E}^{\rm {MW}} for the magnetic Weyl principal term, and let Ag{\mathfrak A}_g and Bg{\mathfrak B}_g be the nowhere dense closed exceptional sets of magnetic potentials and pairs of magnetic and electric potentials, respectively. Assume

μ≤ch−1.\mu\leq c h^{-1}.

Ivrii's conjecture. The main part of the spectral asymptotics is given by EMW{\mathcal E}^{\rm {MW}}, while: (i) for fixed (gjk)(g^{jk}) and general (Vj),V(V_j),V, the remainder is O(μh1−d)O(\mu h^{1-d}); (ii) for fixed (gjk)(g^{jk}) and generic (Vj)(V_j), meaning (V1,…,Vd)∉Ag(V_1,\dots,V_d)\notin{\mathfrak A}_g, and general VV, the remainder is

O(μ−1h1−d+μd/2h−d/2)O(\mu^{-1}h^{1-d}+\mu^{d/2}h^{-d/2})

when (Fjk)(F_{jk}) has full rank everywhere, and

O(μ−1/2h1−d+μd/2h−d/2)O(\mu^{-1/2}h^{1-d}+\mu^{d/2}h^{-d/2})

otherwise; (iii) for fixed (gjk)(g^{jk}) and generic (Vj,V)(V_j,V), meaning (V1,…,Vd;V)∉Bg(V_1,\dots,V_d;V)\notin{\mathfrak B}_g, the remainder is

O(μ−1h1−d)O(\mu^{-1}h^{1-d})

when (Fjk)(F_{jk}) has full rank everywhere, and

O(μ−1/2h1−d)O(\mu^{-1/2}h^{1-d})

otherwise. This predicts sharp remainder estimates for the magnetic Weyl asymptotics in the generic even-dimensional setting, distinguishing general potentials from potentials outside the exceptional sets and full-rank magnetic fields from degenerate ones.
