The number of negative eigenvalues of the operator generated by the quadratic form \(\int(|\nabla^\ell u|^2+|x|^{-2\ell}|u|^2)dx-\int|u|^2d\mu\), \(2\ell=d\), in \(L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)\), where \(\mu\) is a positive measure, is estimated if the (Borel) measure \(\mu\) has a compact support \(F\) and for any \(x\in\mathbb{R}^d\) and \(r\) small enough \((r<{\text{diam} F\over \gamma_2})\), \(\gamma_2>1\). The measures of balls \(B(x,2)\) are estimated as follows: \[ \mu\bigl\{B(x, \gamma_2)\bigr\}\geq 2\mu\bigl\{ B(x,r)\bigr\}, \quad\gamma_1>1. \] The number of negative eigenvalues is estimated (Theorem 1) by \(N(\mu)\leq C(\gamma_1,\gamma_2, d)\mu(\mathbb{R}^d)\).
