In this paper, we compute the second variation of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue on extremal domains in general Riemannian manifolds and establish a criterion for stability. We classify the stable extremal domains in the 2-sphere and higher-dimensional spheres when the boundary is minimal. Additionally, we establish topological bounds for stable domains in a general compact Riemannian surface, assuming either nonnegative total Gaussian curvature or small volume.
We prove that in many cases the existence of an extremal metric for some Laplace eigenvalue in a conformal class allows to find extremal metrics in conformal classes close by. As a consequence and as part of the arguments we obtain perturbed harmonic maps with constant density.
By using Bochner technique and gradient estimate, we give the lower bound estimates of the first eigenvalue of Finsler-Laplacian on Finsler manifolds. These results generalize the corresponding famous theorems in the Riemannian geometry.
In this paper, we study eigenvalues of the poly-Laplacian with arbitrary order on a bounded domain in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space and obtain a lower bound for eigenvalues, which gives an important improvement of results due to Levine and Protter. In particular, the result of Melas is included here.
In this short note, we prove that conformal classes which are small perturbations of a product conformal class on a product with a standard sphere admit a metric extremal for some Laplace eigenvalue. As part of the arguments we obtain perturbed harmonic maps with constant density.
We establish an explicit lower bound of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on Kähler manifolds based off the comparison results of Li and Wang. The lower bound will depend on the diameter, dimension, holomorphic sectional curvature and orthogonal Ricci curvature.
In this paper, we introduce a new functional for the conformal spectrum of the conformal laplacian on a closed manifold M of dimension at least 3. For this new functional we provide a Korevaar type result. The main body of the paper deals with the case of the sphere but a section is devoted to more general closed manifolds.
We build new examples of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in some Riemannian manifold with boundary. These domains are close to half balls of small radius centered at a nondegenerate critical point of the mean curvature function of the boundary of the manifold, and their boundary intersects the boundary of the manifold orthogonally.
We prove the existence of a smooth family of non-compact domains $Omega_s \subset R^{n+1}$ bifurcating from the straight cylinder $B^n \times R$ for which the first eigenfunction of the Laplacian with 0 Dirichlet boundary condition also has constant Neumann data at the boundary. The domains $Omega_s$ are rotationally symmetric and periodic with respect to the R-axis of the cylinder; they are of the form $Omega_s = {(x,t) \in R^n \times R \mid |x| < 1+s \cos((2π)/T_s t) + O(s^2)}$ where $T_s = T_0 + O(s)$ and T_0 is a positive real number depending on n. For $n \ge 2$ these domains provide a sm…
In this paper, we mainly study eigenvalue problems of p-Laplacian on domains with an interior hole. Firstly we prove Faber-Krahn-type inequalities, and Cheng-type eigenvalue comparison theorems on manifolds. Secondly, we prove a comparison theorem for eigenvalues with inner Dirichlet and outer Neumann boundary in minimal submanifolds in Euclidean space. Lastly we give a sharp estimate of the eigenvalue (with outer Dirichlet and inner Neumann boundaries) in terms of the Dircihlet eigenvalue, and also we give an upper bound of the eigenvalue with inner Dirichlet and outer Neumann problems by the…
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\ge 3$. We study the variational properties of the $k$-th eigenvalue functional $\tilde g\in[g] \mapsto λ_k(L_{\tilde g})$ under a non-volume normalization proposed by Sire-Xu. We discuss necessary conditions for the existence of extremal eigenvalues under such normalization. Also, we discuss the general existence problem when $k=1$.

For a bounded domain $Ω$ with a piecewise smooth boundary in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbf{R}^{n}$, we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian. First we give a general inequality for eigenvalues of the Laplacian. As an application, we study lower order eigenvalues of the Laplacian and derive the ratios of lower order eigenvalues of the Laplacian.
This paper is concerned with the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem associated to the $\infty$-Laplacian in metric spaces. We establish a direct PDE approach to find the principal eigenvalue and eigenfunctions in a proper geodesic space without assuming any measure structure. We provide an appropriate notion of solutions to the $\infty$-eigenvalue problem and show the existence of solutions by adapting Perron's method. Our method is different from the standard limit process via the variational eigenvalue formulation for $p$-Laplacian in the Euclidean space.
In this paper, we investigate the Dirchlet eigenvalue problems of poly-Laplacian with any order and quadratic polynomial operator of the Laplacian. We give some estimates for lower bounds of the sums of their first $k$ eigenvalues which improve the previous results.
We study the eigenvalue problem for the $p$-Laplacian on Kähler manifolds. Our first result is a lower bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on compact Kähler manifolds in terms of dimension, diameter, and lower bounds of holomorphic sectional curvature and orthogonal Ricci curvature for $p\in (1, 2]$. Our second result is a sharp lower bound for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on compact Kähler manifolds with smooth boundary for $p\in (1, \infty)$. Our results generalize corresponding results for the Laplace eigenvalues on Kähler manifolds proved in […
In this paper, we obtain "universal" inequalities for eigenvalues of the weighted Hodge Laplacian on a compact self-shrinker of Euclidean space. These inequalities generalize the Yang-type and Levitin-Parnovski inequalities for eigenvalues of the Laplacian and Laplacian. From the recursion formula of Cheng and Yang \cite{ChengYang07}, the Yang-type inequality for eigenvalues of the weighted Hodge Laplacian are optimal in the sense of the order of eigenvalues.
In this paper, we study a first Dirichlet eigenfunction of the weighted $p$-Laplacian on a bounded domain in a complete weighted Riemannian manifold. By constructing gradient estimates for a first eigenfunction, we obtain some relationships between weighted $p$-Laplacian first eigenvalues. As an immediate application, we also obtain some eigenvalue comparison results between the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the weighted Laplacian, the first clamped plate eigenvalue and the first buckling eigenvalue.
In this paper, we investigate eigenvalues of Laplacian on a bounded domain in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space and obtain a sharper lower bound for the sum of its eigenvalues, which gives an improvement of results due to A. D. Melas [15]. On the other hand, for the case of fractional Laplacian $(-Δ)^{α/2}|_{D}$, where $α\in(0,2]$, we obtain a sharper lower bound for the sum of its eigenvalues, which gives an improvement of results due to S.Y. Yolcu and T. Yolcu [23].
In this paper, we study monotonicity for the first eigenvalue of a class of $(p,q)$-Laplacian. We find the first variation formula for the first eigenvalue of $(p,q)$-Laplacian on a closed Riemannian manifold evolving by the Ricci-harmonic flow and construct various monotic quantities by imposing some conditions on initial manifold.
For a bounded domain $Ω$ with a piecewise smooth boundary in a complete Riemannian manifold $M$, we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian. By making use of a fact that eigenfunctions form an orthonormal basis of $L^2(Ω)$ in place of the Rayleigh-Ritz formula, we obtain inequalities for eigenvalues of the Laplacian. In particular, for lower order eigenvalues, our results extend the results of Chen and Cheng \cite{CC}.
We consider the Steklov problem associated with the weighted p-Laplace operator and $(p,q)$-Laplacian on submanifolds with the boundary of Euclidean spaces and prove Reilly-type upper bounds for their first eigenvalues.
We prove a Lichnerowicz type lower bound for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on Kähler manifolds. Parallel to the $p = 2$ case, the first eigenvalue lower bound is improved by using a decomposition of the Hessian on Kähler manifolds with positive Ricci curvature.
We prove the existence of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in any compact Riemannian manifold. This result generalizes a results of F. Pacard and the second author where the existence of a nondegenerate critical point of the scalar curvature of the Riemannian manifold was required.
In this paper, we obtain a comparison of Steklov eigenvalues and Laplacian eigenvalues on graphs and discuss its rigidity. As applications of the comparison of eigenvalues, we obtain Lichnerowicz-type estimates and some combinatorial estimates for Steklov eigenvalues on graphs.
In this paper, we establish gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following equation with respect to the $p$-Laplacian $$Δ_{p}u=-λ|u|^{p-2}u$$ with $p>1$ on a given complete Riemannian manifold. Consequently, we derive upper bound estimates of the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian.
In this paper, we present a Lichnerowicz type estimate and (higher order) Buser type estimates for the magnetic Laplacian on a closed Riemannian manifold with a magnetic potential. These results relate eigenvalues, magnetic fields, Ricci curvature, and Cheeger type constants.
We give upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the differential form Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold. The proof uses Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below. We also construct differential form Laplacians on Alexandrov spaces. Under a local biLipschitz assumption on the Alexandrov space, which is conjecturally always satisfied, we show that the differential form Laplacian has a compact resolvent. We identify its kernel with an intersection homology group.
We prove that the first positive eigenvalue, normalized by the volume, of the sub-Laplacian associated with a strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-Hermitian structure $\θ$ on the CR sphere S 2n+1 $\subset$ C n+1 , achieves its maximum when $\θ$ is the standard contact form.
In this paper we study eigenvalues of the closed eigenvalue problem of the Witten-Laplacian on an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. Estimates for eigenvalues are given. As applications, we give a sharp upper bound for the $k^{\text{th}}$ eigenvalue and for isoparametric minimal hypersurfaces in the unit sphere, an explicit upper bound of the $(n+3)^{\text{th}}$ eigenvalue of the Laplacian is obtained. Furthermore, we generalize the Reilly's result on the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.
In this paper, we obtain lower bounds for the first eigenvalue to some kinds of the eigenvalue problems for Bi-drifted Laplacian operator on compact manifolds (also called a smooth metric measure space) with boundary and $m$-Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature or Bakry-Emery Ricci curvature bounded below. We also address the eigenvalue problem with Wentzell-type boundary condition for drifted Laplacian on smooth metric measure space.
Given a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$, it is proved that the first eigenvalue of the Finslerian $p$-Laplacian is bounded above by a constant depending on $\ p$, the dimension of $M$, the Busemann-Hausdorff volume and the reversibility constant of $(M,F)$. For a Randers manifold $(M,F:=\sqrt{g}+β)$, where $g$ is a Riemannian metric on $M$ and $β$ an appropriate $1$-form on $M$, it is shown that the first eigenvalue $λ_{1,p}(M,F)$ of the Finslerian $p$-Laplacian defined by the Finsler metric $F$ is controled by the first eigenvalue $λ_{1,p}(M,g)$ of the Riemannian $p$-Laplacian defined on $(M,g)$. Fi…
In the present paper we study some kinds of the problems for the bi-drifting Laplacian operator and get some sharp lower bounds for the first eigenvalue for these eigenvalue problems on compact manifolds with boundary (also called a smooth metric measure space) and weighted Ricci curvature bounded inferiorly.
We show that zero is not an eigenvalue of the conformal Laplacian for generic Riemannian metrics. We also discuss non-compactness for sequences of metrics with growing number of negative eigenvalues of the conformal Laplacian.
We study Laplace eigenvalues $λ_k$ on Kähler manifolds as functionals on the space of Kähler metrics with cohomologous Kähler forms. We introduce a natural notion of a $λ_k$-extremal Kähler metric and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for it. A particular attention is paid to the $λ_1$-extremal properties of Kähler-Einstein metrics of positive scalar curvature on manifolds with non-trivial holomorphic vector fields.
Chung-Grigor'yan-Yau's inequality describes upper bounds of eigenvalues of Laplacian in terms of subsets ("input") and their volumes. In this paper we will show that we can reduce "input" in Chung-Grigor'yan-Yau's inequality in the setting of Alexandrov spaces satisfying CD$(0,\infty)$. We will also discuss a related conjecture for some universal inequality among eigenvalues of Laplacian.
we introduce a generalization of the $p$-Laplace operator to act on differential forms and generalize an estimate of Gallot-Meyer for the first nonzero eigenvalue on closed Riemannian manifolds.
We establish lower bounds for the first non-zero eigenvalue for the natural geometric sub-elliptic Laplacian operator defined on sub-Riemannian manifolds of step 2 that satisfy a positive curvature condition. The methods are very general and can be applied even when the sub-Riemannian geometry has considerable torsion.

We consider the lower order eigenvalues of poly-Laplacian with any order on spherical domains. We obtain universal inequalities for them and show that our results are optimal.
We prove upper bounds for sub-Laplacian eigenvalues independent of a pseudo-Hermitian structure on a CR manifold. These bounds are compatible with the Menikoff-Sjoestrand asymptotic law, and can be viewed as a CR version of Korevaar's bounds for Laplace eigenvalues of conformal metrics.
In this paper, we settle in the affirmative the Jakobson-Levitin-Nadirashvili-Nigam-Polterovich conjecture, stating that a certain singular metric on the Bolza surface, with area normalized, should maximize the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian.
We define the distance between edges of graphs and study the coarse Ricci curvature on edges. We consider the Laplacian on edges based on the Jost-Horak's definition of the Laplacian on simplicial complexes. As one of our main results, we obtain an estimate of the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian by the Ricci curvature for a regular graph.
