    In this paper, we show that the convex domains of H-n which are almost extremal for the Faber-Krahn or the Payne-Polya-Weinberger inequalities are close to geodesic balls. Our proof is also valid in other space forms and allows us to recover known results in R-n and S-n.

    For closed n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature, the Laplacian on one-forms is known to admit at most n small eigenvalues. If there are n small eigenvalues, or if M is orientable and has n - 1 small eigenvalues, then M is diffeomorphic to a nilmanifold, and the metric is almost left invariant. We show that our results are optimal for n greater than or equal to 4.
