Eigenvalue estimates for a class of elliptic differential operators on compact manifolds

Eigenvalue estimates for a class of elliptic differential operators on compact manifolds Themotivation of this paper is to study a second order elliptic operatorwhich appears naturally in Riemannian geometry, for instance in the study of hypersurfaces with constant r-mean curvature. We prove a generalizedBochner-type formula for such a kind of operators and as applicationswe obtain some sharp estimates for the first nonzero eigenvalues in two special cases. These results can be considered as generalizations of the Lichnerowicz-Obata Theorem. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, New Series Springer Journals

Abstract

Themotivation of this paper is to study a second order elliptic operatorwhich appears naturally in Riemannian geometry, for instance in the study of hypersurfaces with constant r-mean curvature. We prove a generalizedBochner-type formula for such a kind of operators and as applicationswe obtain some sharp estimates for the first nonzero eigenvalues in two special cases. These results can be considered as generalizations of the Lichnerowicz-Obata Theorem.
