Dimension of Laplacian eigenspaces along a smooth 1-parameter family of metrics

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, $n \geq 2$. For a smooth 1-parameter family $g_t$, $t \in (-\varepsilon, \varepsilon)$, of Riemannian metrics on $M$ with $g_0 = g$, let $\lambda_k(t)$, $...

First eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the traceless-transverse 2-forms

Let $(S^3/\Gamma, g)$ be a spherical space form with constant sectional curvature $1$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite subgroup of $SO(4)$ acting freely on $S^3$. Consider the first nonzero eigenvalue ...

Eigenvalues of Laplacian and eigenvalues of curvature operator

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold (without boundary). The symmetries of the curvature $R$ of (the Levi-Civita connection associated to) $g$ allow one to realise $R$ as a self-adjoint (...

Eigenvalues of Laplace operator

Assume that $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold. Is there any relation between the sequence of eigenvalues of Laplace operator acting on the space of smooth functions and the sequence of eigenvalues of ...
