Stable bundles and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian (Q2459940)

From the authors' abstract: In this article we study the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a compact manifold using stable bundles and balanced bases. Our main result is the following: Let \(M\) be a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension \(n\) and \(E\) a holomorphic vector bundle of rank \(r\) over \(M\). If \(E\) is globally generated and its Gieseker point \(T_{E}\) is stable, then for any Kähler metric \(g\) on \(M\) \[ \lambda_{1}(M,g)\leq\frac{4\pi h^{0}(E)}{r(h^{0}(E)-r)}\cdot \frac{\langle c_{1}(E)\cup[\omega]^{n-1},[M]\rangle}{(n-1)!\text{vol}(M,[\omega])}, \] where \(\omega=\omega_{g}\) is the Kähler metric associated to \(g\). By this method we obtain, for example, a sharp upper bound for \(\lambda_ {1}\) of Kähler metrics on complex Grassmannians.
