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 ...

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 (...

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 $\lambda_k(t)$, $...
