ESTIMATE ON LOWER BOUND OF THE FIRST EIGENVALUE OF A COMPACT RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLD

The author gives an optimum estimate of the first eigenvalue of a compact Riemannian manifold. It is shown that let M be a compact Riemannian manifold, then the first eigenvalue λ_1 of the Laplace operator of M satisfies α_1+max{0,-(n-1)K}≥π~2/d~2 where d is the diameter of M and (n-1)K is the negative lower bound of the Ricci curvature of M.     

A LOWER BOUND FOR FIRST EIGENVALUE WITH MIXED BOUNDARY CONDITIOIN

Let M be an n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold with or without boundary,and its Ricci curvature RicM≥n- 1. The paper obtains an inequality for the first eigenvalue η1 of M with mixed boundary condition, which is a generalization of the results of Lichnerowicz,Reilly, Escobar and Xia. It is also proved that η1≥ n for certain n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary,which is an extension of the work of Cheng,Li and Yau.     

On the first eigenvalue of Finsler manifolds with nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature

We prove that for a compact Finsler manifold M with nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature,if its first closed(resp.Neumann)eigenvalue of Finsler-Laplacian attains the sharp lower bound,then M is isometric to a circle(resp.a segment).Moreover,a lower bound of the first eigenvalue of Finsler-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition is also estimated.These generalize the corresponding results in recent literature.     

The first eigenfunctions and eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian on Finsler manifolds

This paper proves that the first eigenfunctions of the Finsler p-Lapalcian are C~(1,α). Using a gradient comparison theorem and one-dimensional model, we obtain the sharp lower bound of the first Neumann and closed eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian on a compact Finsler manifold with nonnegative weighted Ricci curvature,on which a lower bound of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the p-Laplacian is also obtained.     

Eigenvalue Comparison Theorems on Finsler Manifolds

Cheng-type inequality, Cheeger-type inequality and Faber-Krahn-type inequality are generalized to Finsler manifolds. For a compact Finsler manifold with the weighted Ricci curvature bounded from below by a negative constant, Li-Yau’s estimation of the first eigenvalue is also given.     

Evolution and monotonicity of eigenvalues under the Ricci flow

Let(M, g(t)) be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metric g(t) evolve by the Ricci flow. We derive the evolution equation for the eigenvalues of geometric operator-△φ+ c R under the Ricci flow and the normalized Ricci flow, where △φis the Witten-Laplacian operator, φ∈ C∞(M), and R is the scalar curvature with respect to the metric g(t). As an application, we prove that the eigenvalues of the geometric operator are nondecreasing along the Ricci flow coupled to a heat equation for manifold M with some Ricci curvature condition when c 14.     

Lower Bound of the First Eigenvalue for the Laplace Operator on Compact Riemannian Manifold

Let M be a compact m-dimensional Riemannian manifold, let d denote, its diameter, -R(R>O) the lower bound of the Ricci curvature, and λ_1 the first eigerivalue for the Laplacian on M. Then there exists a constant C_m=max{2~(1/m-1),2~(1/2)}, Such thatλ_1≥π~2/d~2·1/(2-(11)/(2π~2))+11/2π~2e~cm、(?)     

LOWER BOUNDS FOR TNE FIRST GAP OF EIGENVALUES IN THE SCHRDINGER OPERATOR ON SIMPLE RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS

We give a lower bound for the first gap λ_2—λ_1 of the twolowerst eigenvalues of the Schr(o|¨)dinger operator-△+W(p) with the Dirichletboundary condition and a strictly convex potential W(p)on M in which M is acompact simple Riemannian manifold with smooth strictly convex boundary (?)MHere a compact Riemannian manifold M is said to be simple if M～(?)M istopologically R~2.We prove thatλ_2-λ_1≥(π~2)/(d~2)+min{0,-(n-1)K}where d is the diameter of M and-(n-1)K,(K≥0)the lower bound of theRicci curvature of M.This work generalizes the results in the classical Eucli-dean situation due to Singer,Wong and Yau,Yu and Zhong to a kind of curvedRiemannian manifold.     

THE FIRST EIGENVALUE OF AN IRREDUCIBLE HOMOGENEOUS MANIFOLD

Let M be an n-dimensional compact minimal submanifold in the unit sphere. It is shown that the diameter and volume of M satisfyd≥π/2+C(n)d~n/(d~n+V).An application is that if M is an n-dimensional compact irreducible homogeneous manifold, the first eigenvalue λ_1 of M satisfiesλ_1≥n/d~2(π/2+C(n)d~n/(d~n+V))~2.In the above two cases, C(n)'s are the same constants depending only on n.     

The asymptotic behavior of Chern-Simons Higgs model on a compact Riemann surface with boundary

We study the self-dual Chern-Simons Higgs equation on a compact Riemann surface with the Neumann boundary condition.In the previous paper,we show that the Chern-Simons Higgs equation with parameter λ0 has at least two solutions(uλ1,uλ2) for λ sufficiently large,which satisfy that uλ1→u0 almost everywhere as λ→∞,and that uλ2→∞ almost everywhere as λ→∞,where u 0 is a(negative) Green function on M.In this paper,we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as λ→∞,and prove that uλ2-uλ2 converges to a solution of the Kazdan-Warner equation if the geodesic curvature of the boundary M is negative,or the geodesic curvature is nonpositive and the Gauss curvature is negative where the geodesic curvature is zero.
