An upper bound for the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue

Abstract: Let

m a t h b b M

denote a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature

K_{m a t h b b M} l e q k

and Ricci curvature

e x t {R i c}_{m a t h b b M} g e q (n - 1) K

, where

k, K i n m a t h b b R

. Then for a bounded domain

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b M

with smooth boundary, we prove that the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue

m u_{1} (O m e g a) l e q m a t h c a l C m u_{1} (B_{k} (R))

. Here

B_{k} (R)

is a geodesic ball of radius

R > 0

in the simply connected space form

m a t h b b M_{k}

such that vol

(O m e g a)

= vol

(B_{k} (R))

, and

m a t h c a l C

is a constant which depends on the volume, diameter of

O m e g a

and the dimension of

m a t h b b M

.
