Semiclassical asymptotics for a class of singular Schr\"odinger operators

Abstract

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be bounded with $C^1$ boundary. In this paper we consider Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+ W$ on $\Omega$ with $W(x)\approx\mathrm{dist}(x, \partial\Omega)^{-2}$ as $\mathrm{dist}(x, \partial\Omega)\to 0$. Under weak assumptions on $W$ we derive a two-term asymptotic formula for the sum of the eigenvalues of such operators.
