Spectral properties of constant mean curvature submanifolds in hyperbolic space (Q1962797)

The author studies the essential spectrum of the Laplacian \(\Delta\) and of the stability operator \(S\) on hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in hyperbolic space. He proves the following: Theorem. Let \(i: M^n\hookrightarrow H^{n+1}\) be an immersion with constant mean curvature \(h<1\). If the total curvature is finite, then \[ \sigma_{\text{ess}}(\Delta)\in \Biggl[{(n- 1)^2\over 4}(1- h^2),+\infty\Biggr) \quad\text{and} \quad\sigma_{\text{ess}}(S)\in \Biggl[{(n+ 1)^2\over 4} (1- h^2),+\infty\Biggr). \]
