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