In this paper we formulate and prove that there exists the first positive eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problem with oblique derivative for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the unit sphere. The firrst eigenvalue plays a major role in studying the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of oblique derivative problems in cone-like domains. Our work is motivated by the fact that the precise solutions decreasing rate near the boundary conical point is dependent on the first eigenvalue.

AbstractWe prove the CR version of the Obata's result for the first eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian in the setting of a compact strictly pseudoconvex pseudohermitian three-dimensional manifold with non-negative CR-Paneitz operator which satisfies a Lichnerowicz-type condition. We show that if the first positive eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian takes the smallest possible value, then, up to a homothety of the pseudohermitian structure, the manifold is the standard Sasakian three-dimensional unit sphere.

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.
