Estimates of the gaps between consecutive eigenvalues of Laplacian (Q265520)

Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded domain in a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension \(m\). Let \(\text{Spec}(\Omega)=\{0<\lambda_1<\lambda_2\leq\lambda_3\cdots\}\) be the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian; one sets \(\lambda_0=0\) if the boundary of \(\Omega\) is empty. The authors examine estimates for the upper bounds of the gaps of the consecutive eigenvalues. In the special case that the ambient manifold is the Euclidean space, they show that that \(\lambda_{k+1}-\lambda_k\leq C_{n,\Omega}k^{1/n}\) for \(k>1\) and for \(C_{n,\Omega}=4\lambda_1(\Omega)\sqrt{C_0(n)/n}\), where \(C_0(n)\) is a constant of \textit{Q.-M. Cheng} and the third author [Math. Ann. 337, No. 1, 159--175 (2007; Zbl 1110.35052)] with \(C_0(n)\leq 1+\frac4n\). They conjecture that a similar result holds in general.
