David Damanik, Christian Remling Schr\"odinger Operators with Many Bound States (75K, LaTeX) ABSTRACT. Consider the Schr\"odinger operators $H_{\pm}=-d^2/dx^2\pm V(x)$. We present a method for estimating the potential in terms of the negative eigenvalues of these operators. Among the applications are inverse Lieb-Thirring inequalities and several sharp results concerning the spectral properties of $H_{\pm}$.
