First eigenvalue monotonicity for the \(p\)-Laplace operator under the Ricci flow (Q475770)

In this paper, the author discusses the monotonicity of the first eigenvalue of the \(p\)-Laplace operator (\(p=2\)) along the Ricci flow on closed Riemannian manifolds. The main result is to prove that the first eigenvalue of the \(p\)-Laplace operator is nondecreasing along the Ricci flow under some different curvature assumptions. Otherwise, \textit{L. Ma} [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 29, No. 3, 287--292 (2006; Zbl 1099.53046)] considered the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator along the Ricci flow. He discussed the monotonicity of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian operator to the Ricci-Hamilton flow on a compact or a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold. He showed that the eigenvalue of the Lapacian operator on a compact domain associated with the evolving Ricci flow is non-decreasing provided the scalar curvature having a non-negative lower bound and Einstein tensor being not too negative. In this paper, the author also extends some parts of Ma's results.
