Let $ \Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n \; (n\geq 2) $ be a bounded domain with continuous boundary $ \partial\Omega $. In this paper, we study the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the fractional Laplacian which is restricted to $ \Omega $ with $ 0<s<1 $. Denoting by $ \lambda_{k} $ the $ k^{th} $ Dirichlet eigenvalue of $ (-\triangle)^{s}|_{\Omega} $, we establish the explicit upper bounds of the ratio $ \frac{\lambda_{k+1}}{\lambda_{1}} $, which have polynomially growth in $ k $ with optimal increase orders. Furthermore, we give the explicit lower bounds for the Riesz mean function $ R_{\sigma}(z) = \sum_{k}(z-\lambda_{k})_{+}^{\sigma} $ with $ \sigma\geq 1 $ and the trace of the Dirichlet heat kernel of fractional Laplacian.

Keywords: Fractional Laplacian, Dirichlet eigenvalues, Riesz mean function, heat kernel.
