comment Gap between first two nonzero Laplacian eigenvalues on closed compact surface?
Thanks Marc. I wasn't clear about this in my original question, but my real interest is in the difference between the first two distinct nonzero eigenvalues. So I don't need to determine anything about multiplicity. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the help!

@Rbega: both. Or any kind of (reasonably precise) estimate, really.

@Kofi: I say nonzero because I don't care about the zero eigenvalue corresponding to the constant function.

@Algol: without multiplicity. Otherwise you are very right that the answer is not very interesting. :-)
