Sharp finite-matrix Lieb–Thirring inequalities and all equality cases

Proves the sharp one-dimensional Lieb–Thirring inequality for 1/2<γ<3/21/2\lt \gamma\lt 3/2 and arbitrary finite-matrix potentials W ≥ 0 with ∫tr(Wγ+1/2)<∞\int\mathop{\mathrm{tr}}\nolimits (W^{\gamma+1/2})\lt \infty: the optimal constant is the scalar one-bound-state value, independent of matrix size. All equality cases are direct sums, in one constant unitary basis, of scalar sech2 solitons with independent scales and centers, and zero channels.
