The Laplacian on hyperbolic 3-manifolds with Dehn surgery type singularities (Q1049682)

Let \(\Delta\) be the scalar Laplacian on a complete non-compact hyperbolic \(3\)-manifold \(M\) of finite volume. There are a finite number of eigenvalues \(0=\lambda_0<\lambda_1\leq\dots\leq\lambda_k<1\) below the essential spectrum \([1,\infty)\). The authors study the basic spectral properties in the setting of manifolds with Dehn surgery type singularities and the dependence on the generalized Dehn surgery coefficients.
