AbstractWe show a Lichnerowicz-Obata type estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian of n-dimensional closed Riemannian manifolds with an almost parallel p-form ($$2\le p \le n/2$$ 2 ≤ p ≤ n / 2 ) in $$L^2$$ L 2 -sense, and give a Gromov-Hausdorff approximation to a product $$S^{n-p}\times X$$ S n - p × X under some pinching conditions when $$2\le p<n/2$$ 2 ≤ p < n / 2 .

AbstractWe study a system of quasilinear eigenvalue problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions on complete compact Riemannian manifolds. In particular, Cheng comparison estimates and the inequality of Faber–Krahn for the first eigenvalue of a {(p,q)}-Laplacian are recovered. Lastly, we reprove a Cheeger-type estimate for the p-Laplacian, {1<p<\infty}, from where a lower bound estimate in terms of Cheeger’s constant for the first eigenvalue of a {(p,q)}-Laplacian is built. As a corollary, the first eigenvalue converges to Cheeger’s constant as {p,q\to 1,1}.

The First Eigenvalue

Mantoulidis and Schoen developed a novel technique to handcraft asymptotically flat extensions of Riemannian manifolds ( Σ ≅ S 2 , g ) (\Sigma \cong \mathbb {S}^2,g) , with g g satisfying λ 1 ≔ λ 1 ( − Δ g + K ( g ) ) > 0 \lambda _1 ≔\lambda _1(-\Delta _g + K(g))>0 , where λ 1 \lambda _1 is the first eigenvalue of the operator − Δ g + K ( g ) -\Delta _g+K(g) and K ( g ) K(g) is the Gaussian curvature of g g , with control on the ADM mass of the extension. Remarkably, this procedure allowed them to compute the Bartnik mass in this so-called minimal case; the Bartnik mass is a notion of quasi-local mass in General Relativity which is very challenging to compute. In this survey, we describe the Mantoulidis–Schoen construction, its impact and influence in subsequent research related to Bartnik mass estimates when the minimality assumption is dropped, and its adaptation to other settings of interest in General Relativity.

One of the basic questions of Riemannian geometry is that “If two Riemannian manifolds are similar with respect to the Riemannian invariants, for example, the curvature, the volume, the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian, then are they topologically similar?”. Initiated by H. Rauch, many works are developed to the above question. Recently M. Gromov showed a remarkable theorem ([7] 8.25, 8.28), which may be useful not only for the above question but also beyond the above. But it seems to the author that his proof is heuristic and it contains some gaps (for these, see § 1), so we give a detailed proof of 8.25 in [7]. This is the first purpose of this paper. Second purpose is to prove a differentiable sphere theorem for manifolds of positive Ricci curvature, using the above theorem as a main tool.

The paper starts with a discussion involving the Sobolev constant on geodesic balls and then follows with a derivation of a lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on manifolds with small negative curvature. The derivation involves Moser iteration.
