On Eigenvalue Generic Properties of the Laplace-Neumann Operator

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We establish the existence of analytic curves of eigenvalues for the Laplace-Neumann operator through an analytic variation of the metric of a compact Riemannian manifold M with boundary by means of a new approach rather than Kato's method for unbounded operators. We obtain an expression for the derivative of the curve of eigenvalues, which is used as a device to prove that the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Neumann operator are generically simple in the space mathcalMk of all Ck Riemannian metrics on M. This implies the existence of a residual set of metrics in mathcalMk, which make the spectrum of the Laplace-Neumann operator simple. We also give a precise information about the complementary of this residual set, as well as about the structure of the set of the deformation of a Riemannian metric which preserves double eigenvalues.
