Convergence of Alexandrov spaces and spectrum of Laplacian (Q5931998)

Let \(A(n)\) be the collection of isometry classes of compact Alexandrov spaces of dimension \(n\) with curvature bounded from below by \(-1\). Give \(A(n)\) the Gromov-Hausdorff topology [see \textit{K. Fukaya}, Invent. Math. 87, 517-547 (1987; Zbl 0589.58034)]. \textit{A. Kasue} and \textit{H. Kumura} [Tôhoku Math. J. (2) 46, 147-179 (1994; Zbl 0814.53035) and ibid. 48, 71-120 (1996; Zbl 0853.58100)] have defined the spectral topology on \(A(n)\). Let \(\lambda_k\) be the \(k\)-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian on an element of \(A(n)\). The author shows that \(\lambda_k:A(n)\rightarrow R\) is a continuous function for each \((k,n)\) by showing the Gromov-Hausdorff topology coincides with the spectral topology on \(A(n)\).
