Bounded Below

Let ( M , F , d μ ) be a Finsler manifold with the Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive number and constant S-curvature. We prove that, if the first eigenvalue of the Finsler–Laplacian attains its lower bound, then M is isometric to a Finsler sphere. Moreover, we establish a comparison result on the Hessian trace of the distance function.

Hypersurfaces In Spheres

In this paper we exhibit deformations of the hemisphere [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], for which the ambient Ricci curvature lower bound [Formula: see text] and the minimality of the boundary are preserved, but the first Laplace eigenvalue of the boundary decreases. The existence of these metrics suggests that any resolution of Yau’s conjecture on the first eigenvalue of minimal hypersurfaces in spheres would likely need to consider more geometric data than a Ricci curvature lower bound.

The Mean

The purpose of this short paper is to give a variation on the classical Donsker–Varadhan inequality, which bounds the first eigenvalue of a second-order elliptic operator on a bounded domain Ω by the largest mean first exit time of the associated drift–diffusion process via λ 1 ≥ 1 sup x ∈ Ω E x τ Ω c . Instead of looking at the mean of the first exit time, we study quantiles: let d p , ∂ Ω : Ω → R ≥ 0 be the smallest time t such that the likelihood of exiting within that time is p , then λ 1 ≥ log ( 1 / p ) sup x ∈ Ω d p , ∂ Ω ( x ) . Moreover, as p → 0 , this lower bound converges to λ 1 .
