In particular, we prove bounds on the eigenvalue lambda(N+1) in terms of the lower spectrum, bounds on ratios of means of eigenvalues, and universal monotonicity properties of eigenvalue moments, which imply sharp versions of Lieb-Thirring inequalities. In the case of a Schrodinger operator on an immersed manifold of dimension d, we derive a version of Reilly's inequality bounding the eigenvalue lambda(N+1) of the Laplace-Beltrami operator by a universal constant times vertical bar vertical bar h vertical bar N-2(infinity)2/d.Lieb-Thirring InequalitiesWeyl-Type BoundsSchrodinger-OperatorsMean-CurvatureLaplacianSubmanifoldsDirichletSpacetext::journal::journal article::research article
