Abstract
Let (M, g) be a compact connected orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension n >= 4 and let lambda(k,p)(g) be the k-th positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian. Delta g,p = dd* + d* d acting on differential forms of degree p on M. We prove that the metric g can be conformally deformed to a metric g', having the same volume as g, with arbitrarily large lambda 1, p(g') for all p is an element of [2,n-2]. Note that for the other values of p, that is p = 0, 1, n-1 and n, one can deduce from the literature that, for all k > 0, the k-th eigenvalue lambda(k,p) is uniformly bounded on any conformal class of metrics of fixed volume on M. For p = 1, we show that, for any positive integer N, there exists a metric g(N) conformal to g such that, for all k
