    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.

    Petites valeurs propres des p-formes différentielles et classe d'Euler des S1-fibrés
    (2000-12-21) ;
    Courtois, Gilles
    Let M(n, a, d) be the set of compact oriented Riemannian manifolds (M, g) of dimension n whose sectional curvature K-g and diameter d(g) satisfy \K-g\ less than or equal to a and d(g) less than or equal to d. Let M(n, a, d, rho) be the subset of M(n, a, d) of those manifolds (M, g) such that the injectivity radius is greater than or equal to rho. if (M, g) is an element of M(n + 1, a, d) and (N, h) is an element of M(n, a', d') are sufficiently close in the sense of Gromov-Hausdorff, M is a circle bundle over N according to a theorem of K. Fukaya. When the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between (M, g) and (N, h) is small enough, we show that there exists m(p) - b(p)(N) + b(p-1) (N) - b(p)(M) small eigenvalues of the Laplacian acting on differential p-forms on M, 1 < p < n + 1, where b(p) denotes the p-th Betti number. We give uniform bounds of these eigenvalues depending on the Euler class of the circle bundle S-1 --> M --> N and the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between (M, g) and (N, h).

    Riemannian Metrics with large lambda(1)

    Dodziuk, Jozef
    We show that every compact smooth manifold of three or more dimensions carries a Riemannian metric of volume one and arbitrarily large first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.

    Tubes and eigenvalues for negatively curved manifolds

    We investigate the structure of the spectrum near zero for the Laplace operator on a complete negatively curved Riemannian manifold M. If the manifold is compact and its sectional curvatures K satisfy 1 less-than-or-equal-to K < 0, we show that the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian is bounded below by a constant depending only on the volume of M. Our result for a complete manifold of finite volume with sectional curvatures pinched between -a2 and -1 asserts that the number of eigenvalues of the Laplacian between 0 and (n -1)2/4 is bounded by a constant multiple of the volume of the manifold with the constant depending on a and the dimension only.
