The analysis of eigenvalues of Laplace and Schrödinger operators is an important and classical topic in mathematical physics with many applications. This book presents a thorough introduction to the area, suitable for masters and graduate students, and includes an ample amount of background material on the spectral theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces and on Sobolev space theory. Of particular interest is a family of inequalities by Lieb and Thirring on eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators, which they used in their proof of stability of matter. The final part of this book is devoted to the active research on sharp constants in these inequalities and contains state-of-the-art results, serving as a reference for experts and as a starting point for further research.

'In 1975, Lieb and Thirring proved a remarkable bound of the sum of the negative eigenvalues of a Schrödinger operator in three dimensions in terms of the L^{5/2}-norm of the potential and used it in their proof of the stability of matter. Shortly thereafter, they realized it was a case of a lovely set of inequalities which generalize Sobolev inequalities and have come to be called Lieb-Thirring bounds. This has spawned an industry with literally hundreds of papers on extensions, generalizations and optimal constants. It is wonderful to have the literature presented and synthesized by three experts who begin by giving the background necessary for this book to be useful not only to specialists but to the novice wishing to understand a deep chapter in mathematical analysis.'
