Riesz means asymptotics for Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians on Lipschitz domains

Abstract: We consider the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians on a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary and prove two-term asymptotics for their Riesz means of arbitrary positive order. Moreover, when the underlying domain is convex, we obtain universal, non-asymptotic bounds that correctly reproduce the two leading terms in the asymptotics and depend on the domain only through simple geometric characteristics. An important ingredient in the proof of the latter result is a pointwise bound for the heat kernel of the Neumann Laplacian in a convex domain with universal constants. Additional ingredients in our proof are non-asymptotic versions of various Tauberian theorems.
