Dirichlet Eigenvalues for the Logarithmic-Hardy operator
Abstract
In this paper, we study the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the logarithmic Hardy operator, defined as the logarithmic Laplacian with a critical logarithmic potential, in a bounded Lipschitz domain containing the origin. We first establish a logarithmic Hardy inequality and use it to identify the associated energy space, showing that the embedding into L2 is compact when the perturbation parameter exceeds the endpoint value −1, but fails to be compact at that endpoint. For parameters above −1, we develop a complete variational spectral theory, prove that the problem admits a discrete sequence of eigenvalues tending to infinity, characterized by successive minimizations over orthogonal complements, whose eigenfunctions form a complete orthonormal basis of L2. We further establish a uniform lower bound for the first eigenvalue, a scaling property under domain dilation that determines a critical radius for the sign of the first eigenvalue and leaves the eigenvalue gaps invariant.
