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 .

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.

The First Eigenvalue

In this overview article, we study the first positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator in a unit volume conformal class. In particular, we discuss the question whether the infimum is attained. In the first part, we explain the corresponding variational problem. In the following parts we discuss the relation to the spinorial mass endomorphism and an application to surfaces of constant mean curvature. The article also mentions some open problems and work in progress.
