This article contains a characterization of when certain weighted Sobolev spaces on $\Bbb R^n$ embed compactly into $L^2(\mathbb R^n, φ)$. The characterization is in terms of derivatives of the weight function $φ$ and involves the Wiener capacity, as it is obtained from reformulating the problem in terms of resolvent properties of Schrödinger operators. This reformulation also works for general domains.
In the present paper, we prove an abstract functional analytic criterion for a class of linear partial differential operators acting on a domain $Ω\subseteq\Bbb R^n$ which are elliptic in the interior to have compact resolvent. This extends known results for magnetic Schrödinger operators to more general differential operators. We point out the relationship between the Dirac operator in real dimension two and the $\bar\partial$-Laplacian on a certain weighted space on $\Bbb C$ and we use this connection to prove a non-compactness result for its resolvent.
Let $Ω$ be an unbounded, pseudoconvex domain in $\Bbb C^n$ and let $φ$ be a $\mathcal C^2$-weight function plurisubharmonic on $Ω$. We show both necessary and sufficient conditions for existence and compactness of a weighted $\bar\partial$-Neumann operator $N_φ$ on the space $L^2_{(0,1)}(Ω,e^{-φ})$ in terms of the eigenvalues of the complex Hessian $(\partial ^2φ/\partial z_j\partial\bar z_k)_{j,k}$ of the weight. We also give some applications to the unweighted $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem on unbounded domains.
In this paper we discuss compactness estimates for the $\bar \partial $-Neumann problem in the setting of weighted $L^2$-spaces on $\mathbb{C}^n.$ For this purpose we use a version of the Rellich - Lemma for weighted Sobolev spaces.
