This thesis is devoted to quantitative questions about the discrete spectrum of Schrödinger-type operators. In Paper I we show that the Lieb-Thirring inequalities on moments of negative eigen¬values remain true, with possibly different constants, when the critical Hardy weight is subtracted from the Laplace operator. In Paper II we prove that the one-dimensional analog of this inequality holds even for the critical value of the moment parameter. In Paper III we establish Hardy-Lieb-Thirring inequalities for fractional powers of the Laplace operator and, in particular, relativistic Schrödinger operators. We do so by first establishing Hardy-Sobolev inequalities for such operators. We also allow for the inclu¬sion of magnetic fields. As an application, in Paper IV we give a proof of stability of relativistic matter with magnetic fields up to the critical value of the nuclear charge. In Paper V we derive inequalities for moments of the real part and the modulus of the eigen¬values of Schrödinger operators with complex-valued potentials. / QC 20100708
