On the Lieb-Thirring estimates for the Pauli operator. (English) Zbl 0882.47056
The aim of this paper is to establish some spectral properties of the Pauli operator, that is, of the operator describing the motion of a particle with spin in a magnetic field. We confine ourselves to the case when the spin is allowed to take one of the values $$+1/2$$ or $$-1/2$$.
