Small eigenvalues on \(p\)-forms for collapsings of the even-dimensional spheres (Q1849598)

The author deals with the Laplacian acting on differential forms. He proves that for some \(p\) there exist small eigenvalues of the Laplacian on \(p\)-forms for collapsings of the even dimensional spheres with curvature bounded below. The min-max principle for a pull-back of a harmonic form on the limit space as a test form is used for proving it, as well as the collapsings constructed by T. Yamaguchi.
