Let $(M^n,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. The spectrum of the Laplacian operator $\Delta_g = -\operatorname{div} \nabla$ consists of an increasing and diverging sequence of positive eigenvalues: ...

Let $\mathbb{S}^2_+$ denote the closed upper hemisphere of the unit round sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$. It is well known that the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the closed unit sphere is $2$...

first of all, I am not sure if this question fits here. I asked this question on math.stackexchange also but didn't get an answer so far. In Isaac Chavel's book Eigenvalues in Riemannian Geometry, ...

EDIT: According to some comments on this post I revise the title to remove the misunderestanding. Assume that $M$ is a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$. The natural Laplace operator associated ...
