A Reilly formula and eigenvalue estimates for differential forms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We derive a Reilly-type formula for differential p-forms on a compact manifold with boundary and apply it to give a sharp lower bound of the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms of an embedded hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold. The equality case of our inequality gives rise to a number of rigidity results, when the geometry of the boundary has special properties and the domain is non-negatively curved. Finally we also obtain, as a by-product of our calculations, an upper bound of the first eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian when the ambient manifold supports non-trivial parallel forms.


A Reilly-type formula for differential \(p\)-forms on a compact manifold with boundary is obtained. The authors apply it to give a sharp lower bound of the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms of an embedded hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold. The equality case of the inequality gives rise to a number of rigidity results when the geometry of the boundary has special properties and the domain is non-negatively curved. An upper bound of the first eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian, when the ambient manifold supports non-trivial parallel forms, is obtained.
