Abstract: | Let ξA,B be the Krein spectral shift function for a pair of operatorsA, B, with C =A-B trace class. We establish the bound whereF is any non-negative convex function on [0, ∞) with F(0) = 0 and Ώj (C) are the singular values ofC. The choice F(t) =t p ,p ≥ 1, improves a recent bound of Combes, Hislop and Nakamura. Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9707661. |
